Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dylana

This book was a little bit slow in the beginning, but it gets better. Just keep reading it. And it's short and sweet, perfect for the weekend or vacation. It is unlike any other book I've ever read. The main character is Victoria, but she wants people to call her Egg, like her favorite character from the Terminal Earth movie. She has no close friends and distances herself from everybody. She is different and she knows it. She's totally boy proof. Who needs boys when you are going to be valevictorian at 16 years old and a gifted student. She's a great photographer and loves creating her own monsters, like her master makeup artist father. But she's different from her movie star actress mother. But then there's a new boy in school, Max, and Egg starts to notice him. They are more a like. Egg changes because of him and starts to see her life in light of reality, rather than as a superhero character from a movie. And she learns that friends and family relationships are most important in life. This book was great and very heartwarming. It also teaches that it's okay to be different, just not to the extreme.
