Boy Proof

Reader reviewed by Leah



This book is about a girl named Victoria, daughter of highly acclaimed Hollywood stars. She loves sci-fi movies, and dresses after her favorite sci-fi heroin-Egg. She prefers to be alone; she talks to no one and no one talks to her and she likes it that way. Aside from her sci-fi club friends, she as no one. Then, Max Carter comes to her school and she instantly hates him. He is academically gifted like Egg and soon her GPA starts to drop behind his perfect grades. Max tries to get to know her and become friends with her but she can't admit how much she wants him. That would be weak and so totally unlike her. When he starts to go out with the girl Egg most hates, she can hardly contain her feelings for Max. But will it be to late?
This book was good because you really got to see Egg grow as a person and realize that being alone is lonelier than she thought. Especially when there's a cute guy you want as your own.

Egg (née Victoria) Jurgen re-christened herself after the heroine in her favorite sci-fi movie in hopes that some of the heroine's bravery and good fortune would rub off on her. Instead, she's doomed to pretend to like her fate of being Invisible Girl, who speaks to no one and has the favor returned. That is, until a new boy, Max Carter, arrives at school. He challenges her, academically and socially, and she isn't sure at first if she wants to accept his challenge, if it means shedding her tough persona and letting someone else into her life and her head. This book exemplifies how one person can change someone else's life, and I really enjoyed it.

What I got out of this novel is the concept of passion.

Egg/Victoria is very passionate about Terminal Earth, and the character of Egg. At the same time, she is also passionate about being "boy proof". She does not want a guy lusting after her, and she goes out of her way to alienate people so that this does not happen.

However, Egg meets the actress who plays Egg, and finds herself disillusioned. And Egg meets Max, a boy that might be worth risking her "boy proof" ideas for.

I loved this novel, mainly because it teaches a very important lesson. We all have passion in our lives, whether it be for a movie, actor, book, or some other tangible object. And yet sometimes, our vision is skewed, and once the blinders are removed, we learn that in order to grow, sometimes we have to let go of a certain passion. And along the way, discover new passions, and new journeys throughout life.

Boy Proof is an amazing book. It is about Victoria better known as Egg. Egg is a HUGE sci-fi movie fan. She is known as Egg after her favorite character in the movie Terminal Earth. She acts just like Egg, but when a new boy named Max moves to town, he teachers her that there is more to life then just the movies!
