Usually, I have a clear cut favorite character in 95% of the stories I read, but this time around, I am finding it VERY hard to choose which one takes the cake. They were lucky to have been with each other for so long and that they were able to grow up with another person who understood each other so completely. Their friendship is exactly the type of friendship everyone searches for. From the beginning I knew I was going to love Lula and Rory. Yes, it may have some cliche qualities that can get old ie unpopular teens, absentee parents, sexual identity crisis, but how the story is told, was anything but. I didn’t know what it was and I still don’t know what it is…but I am glad it brought us together.įrom the second I picked up Weird Girl, I was hooked, I didn’t want to put it down…I COULDN’T put it down. I am so glad that Weird Girl and What’s His Name came into my life and was able to fill the void that I haven’t been able to fill with all of these duds lately.The first time I laid eyes on this book, I just felt an unexplained force drawing me to it. I feel like I’ve haven’t read a PERFECT 5 star book in a while and I was starting to lose hope. My Thoughts: Hmm… where do I even begin? I am in LOVE with this book, so much so that I can barely even put together the words to tell you how I feel, but I will do my best to try. With their friendship disrupted, Lula begins to question her very identity, and when she disappears in the middle of the night, Rory is left to survive on his own. But then Lula discovers that Rory has not only tried out for the football team, but has been having an affair with his middle-aged divorcee boss. Lula and Rory have no secrets from each other after all, she knows he’s gay, and he understands why she worships the mother that walked out on her.

Synopsis: In the Podunk town of Hawthorne, North Carolina, high school geeks Lula and Rory share everything-sci-fi and fantasy fandom, an obsession with old X-Files episodes, and that feeling that they’ll never quite fit in.
