Review:
I have never heard of this author before and was not even familiar with the audience she writes for or the genre, but took a chance and truly enjoyed the adventures of Miss Weetzie Bat. The original cover for the book is so much cooler than the newly released version, but then again, who is going to judge this book by its cover.
This is a story of a girl, who gets three wishes from a genie and they all come true. Weetzie is best friends with Dirk who is in a punk band and drives a '55 Pontiac. Dirk just reveals to her that he is gay and she is elated. They move in together and the fun begins. Weetzie finds a boyfriend, Dirk's boyfriend moves in and a baby is on the way. Who is the father? This is a complete page turner, I read it in one sitting, before bed, and really wanted more at the end. Not your average Young Adult book, I was shocked when I found out that, that was the audience, yet overall it was still worth a read.
