review 1: Depending on your boundaries when it comes to sexual and graphic content in fiction, this book may repulse you. What else may repulse you is the evident flaws the protagonist, "Katie", possesses. And we're not just talking a stray hair or two. But before you decide to call yourself superior to Katie and her flirtatious ways, remember a time in your life when you were confused or maybe didn't know what you were doing, but couldn't stop.*Spoilers next!!*While this isn't a thriller or casing a plot that has you at the edge of your seat, it has a good voice. Another thing I like about this book is the idea that Katie's past abuse influenced her future decisions, even subconsciously. Because once that's revealed, it becomes pretty obvious. This isn't simply a boy-girl love stor... morey because a) there are too many guys she hooks up in this for that and b) there isn't a happy ending. I've read this twice and the ending always has me hungry for more, though as far as I know, it's the only book dedicated to Katie's misadventures. The end is unexpected but SO worth it, even if you hated the book before then.
review 2: This book is about exactly about what the title says, an undiscovered girl.Katie decides to defer college for a year to decide what to do with her life.During this time she starts an anonymous blog about her adventures in hopes ofit helping her decide what to do. She gets into a sexual relationship with anolder man. After her alcoholic father dies she starts to re-evaluate life but isstill making reckless decisions when it comes to her relationships.I chose this book because it seemed like an easy read after my last book.Reading the blog entries as the book was a quick easy way for me to get throughthis book. I enjoyed following Katie's crazy posts and wondered what she woulddo next. The ending was very unexpected but really made the whole book better tome. (I won't talk about the ending because it will give it away). Afterfinishing the book I realized how the title was the perfect description of Katiein more than one way. Again I don't want to be a spoiler so I won't list myspecific reasons. (you can email me if you want to talk about it more) less
