So I hate to admit it, but I couldn't finish this book.
I haven't met many books that I wasn't fond of, but this is one of them.
It was such a chore to pick it up and read it.
I always feel that once I start one I have to finish it, so I plow through even when I don't want to.
But I just couldn't do it with this one.
I don't have a short synopsis for you, because I didn't finish.
But I do have this.
Astrid Jones is a high schooler, her mom is an over bearing, over achieving crazy.
She could be part of why I couldn't finish, sometimes, characters irk me so much I can't handle it.
And they live in an over bearing, busy body town, where everyone is judging everyone else.
Astrid has two best friends, Justin and Kristina, and they're both gay.
Astrid has a secret. She thinks she is gay,
But she's not sure, she has Dee, her coworker and real best friend, who is also gay.
She's pretty sure she's in love with Dee.
But Astrid's just not ready to tell anyone that she is (gay or in love that is).
She also talks to passengers on planes flying over head.
And like in a freaky Sci-Fi movie, they can 'hear/feel' her sending love their way.
I think the point of the story will be her figuring out that no one will think less of her if she is gay. But someone else will have to figure that out.
