Book Reviews of Girl
Book Review: A perfect time capsule
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm just about finished rereading "Girl" for the umpteenth time. Every time I read it, I'm astonished at the clarity with which Blake Nelson sees his characters. Although I'm probably older than Andrea's parents, it takes me back every time to my own youth as a wild girl, roaming the record stores and thrift shops and giddily spinning around guys in bands. As far as I can observe from the teenaged women in my circle of family and friends, Andrea is as true-to-life a girl as she ever was. A classic of its time and well worth reading, whatever your age is.
Summary of Girl
Meet Andrea Marr, straight-A high school student, thrift-store addict, and princess of the downtown music scene. Andrea is about to experience her first love, first time, and first step outside the comfort zone of high school, with the help of indie rock band The Color Green."After I saw Todd Sparrow something deep inside me began to change. It was not a big change and I didn't shave my head and I didn't really think any differently about my life or Hillside or anything like that. But one glimpse of Todd and you immediately realized how limited you were and all the things you could do if you could just break out of your normal existence and stop worrying about what everyone thought."
