Candy Girl by Diablo Coady

So, I will preface this post by saying that I LOVED the movie Juno. I mean, I saw it in the theater 3 times. That's a lot at today's prices.

This is why I was excited to read Candy Girl by Diablo Cody.

I shouldn't have been. I think she should stick to writing screenplays.

This book was childishly written and quite boring. I could tell she was trying hard for the shock factor, but, at least for me, there was nothing shocking there. I wasn't engaged. I wasn't furiously turning the page to get to the end. I actually forced myself to finish it.

Needless to say, I was quite disappointed. If you liked Juno, don't waste your time on this. Wait for her next movie.
