A is for Angst, B is for Boobs (either breasts or idiots) . . . This is the teen alphabet according to 14-year-old Theresa Tolliver. Growing up is complicated for a girl who can't quite decide if Barbie dolls are age appropriate (and what's with those perfect plastic Barbie boobs?) and who spends a great deal of time deconstructing the high school class system: Normals (Ns) like Theresa are careful to do nothing to stand out; Above-Normals (ANs) are the blessed ones who have perfect breasts (see Barbie above), boyfriends and the right clothes; Sub-Normals (SNs) are what every N fears becoming. Then there's Achingly Adorable Adam (AA), Theresa's almost boyfriend, though he doesn't know it yet. A nd there's Theresa's family. What do you do with a pregnant mother, a socially phobic father, a domineering older sister, a jerk for a brother and eccentric grandparents on both sides? It's a good thing Theresa can rely on her best friend, Biff--except now that the AN poster girl Ashleigh (it's A shla-a-y, not Ashlee) has taken a sudden interest in Theresa, Biff is acting kind of strange. . . . Barbara Haworth-Attard, Governor General's Award finalist for her YA novel Theories of Relativity, has infiltrated the teen girl universe to create this funny, smart and honest look at the complicated lives of today's adolescents.… (lisätietoja)

When I first saw this book in the library, I could tell it was another one of those teen angst stories about how much the main character's life sucks, but once I started reading the first page, I was immediately hooked.
The author uses sentences that teenagers often say, for example, "I'm so glad I'm not a guy, No wonder all you think about are boobs! Because that's what you are. A boob! An idiot!"
Her sense of humor is what I love the most most, I think that's what made me interested in the first place.
Her character's dialog are really realistic, and "realistic" meaning that I can picture them in my head speaking to each other, acting out the whole scenario.
I really like this book overall, and I'd recommends this to anyone who likes typical high school trouble with a twist of humor. ( )

After a few students made some comments about the inappropriate nature of this book, I decided i had better read it. It is not inappropriate for most of the readers in my school. It, like many teen fiction novels, has themes that are relevant to the life of the average teen. The protagonist, Teresa, deals with many issues throughout the course of the novel: friendships, sisters, make-up, boyfriends, popularity.... All these things are what most teens deal with on a day-to-day basis anyway. Sure there is some talk of bras and thongs, and making out...but again, these are the things that are dealt with by many teens. So no problem for this book.

Also I liked the way the relationship between Teresa and her grandfather was developed. The ending was emotional. That's good too. ( )
