Boy Proof by Cecil Castelucci


Boy Proof by Cecil Castelucci
203 pages

I don't know if I liked this book or not. Starting out, I thought it was going to be science fiction, set in another world. The main character was "Egg", and this was on the first page:

Monday. January 5. 6:59A.M.
Cyberspace

REUTERS:DOOMSDAY CLOCK MOVES CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT
A.P. DOUBT AND SHOCK GREET FIRST HUMAN CLONING
SPACE.CM: ASTEROID ON COLLISION COURSE WITH EARTH
SCIENCE: SIXTH MASS EXTINCTION HAS BEGUN

ok. Obviously she is on a different planet, checking on the status of earth to see when mankind could return to their home. But no, she is just a normal girl making sarcastic remarks about the world around her. But her entire family is in show biz, her dad being a sci fi special effects tech. Too much confusion. The story did redeem itself when she drops the persona of her favorite sci fi movie star and decides to find herself.
