Not having ever been a teenage girl, I can't say whether the internal narrative rings true - but I felt like this novel definitely captured the feeling of being friends with one. :) Kiki is an interesting protagonist, not without her flaws but with a self-awareness and determination to make positive changes in her life that make her very endearing. Her transition from "the weird kid" in high school to finding a community of people like her - in some ways, at least - in college was very familiar and real to me and I think will be comforting to readers on the other side of that transition. All in all the book was well written, genuinely funny, and definitely worth the read.
