I love this book in the same way I love shouty post-hardcore music of the late 80s, wearing jumpsuits of any kind, and the smell (and when I was little, probably the taste too) of Clag. Which is to say: unashamedly, unreservedly and somewhat incongruously with my usual predilections. I generally like my contemporary YA on the messy, introspective side, with hefty doses of realism and minimal use of teen speak. So colour me surprised to find this book sort of adorable, despite the presence of aJ'adork. I know I was just THIS BOOK GETS ME-ing about Holier Than Thou but... this book gets me! Adorkable gets the online me -- the one who tweets and tumblrs and blogs and pins. If the last sentence makes no sense to you, this book may not be for you because one of the things I love about Adorkable is that it doesn't feel the need to explain all that. You either get it or you don't.Jeane Smith gets it. She's a 17-year-old student and blogger who runs a mini online empire based on all things
Buddy read with Komal! :D See her review here.Actual rating: 2.5 stars (I'm feeling generous!)This is pretty much your average chick-lit, but instead of being set in the US, this book is set in England. I thought this book was pretty entertaining, but that's it. The characters were pretty awful, the plot was non-existent as I'd expected it to be, and the romance was meh. I still liked the book, though, just not much.Let's talk about the characters.Jeane is our main protagonist of Adorkable.
I think I was in a cranky mood when I started this book, judging by my harsh status updates. Channeling my inner Jeane, I suppose. But then Sarra Manning won me over with her unique characters, witty prose and general awesomeness. Such a fun read! Makes me proud to be a dork :)

This book was such a (lovely) mess! At first I had a hard time following where the story was headed. But somehow I got to love all the dorkiness, the craziness, the dizziness that the characters made me feel when they changed their mind every half-page. It was cute, it was refreshing, it was somehow original and near the ending it gave a few lessons that are worth knowing some about ourselves, some about the world we are living in.Be yourself, everyone else is taken No, this is not a quote
This novel is horrible. Its empty and very hard to read. The biggest fault is in its prose, which is so superfluous and jerky your mind goes all over the place. Added to these are overuse of very faddish icons, ads, songs, lingo, etc. give it a "short lived" feel. Also, the characters are very stereotypical albeit their triteness is hidden by cosmetic complexity. And hidden by its length and false depth, the plot is very basic. This book tells a very simple story but it got lost in all the
