Don't be fooled by the nice summary of this book, or else, you'll burn.I know that this novel is YA, so I'm expecting teenage talk and all, but having those teenage code names right at the beginning is a major headache. "Mothership", "Dad Man",and "Peroxide Eric" to name a few screams WTF are these?! There should be a limit to using code names, or if you really have to use it, I hope that the readers won't be thrown to the bizarre world of code names without even a short introduction.Then there's:EEK.ARG.UR.I don't even want to know what that means or any of those words written in that format.Moreover, the love story in the novel got ZERO CHEMISTRY. I didn't feel any love, just major irritation for Heidi.Seriously, how did this author got herself published?If you want to be irritated and bored at the same time, read it! Fun, zany comedy with a fabulous geek-girl heroine. I loved Heidi so, so much, and I LOVED the time-traveling-detective TV show Susie Day invented for Heidi to be obsessed with. This is a perfect book for fans of Lili Wilkinson's PINK or the movie "Mean Girls"! The only reason I'm personally giving it 4 stars rather than 5 has nothing to do with quality, only with my own wimpiness as a reader when it comes to the kind of comedy where you watch the heroine make bad, bad decisions and you just know they're all going to explode in her face sooner or later...my cringe-factor comes into play and I feel so embarrassed and worried for them that I can't just relax and enjoy it! It's the same problem I had with Jane Austen's EMMA and Lili Wilkinson's wonderful PINK. But most other people are not as wimpy as me, and oh, do I recommend this book regardless.(Note: in America, this book has a different title: My Invisible Boyfriend)
What do You think about Girl Meets Cake (2000)?
Gingerbread men are so cute! Not sure how realistic this story is, but it was a good mindless read.
