Grab Instantly The Girl Least Likely Narrated By Katy Loutzenhiser Available As EPub
absolutely LOVED The Girl Least Likely, which follows Gretchen, a high school junior who has a secret crush on her best friendthe only person she feels comfortable being herself around.
That is, until she takes on a fake identity or rather, the identity of another girl whose ID she decides to use as her own one night, As Sabrina, Gretchen does stand up comedy and meets a community who understands her, As she's immersed in the stand up world, she meets a boy who she starts to like, as she's realizing maybe she and her best friend are growing apart, At school, she begins to come close with her Yearbook friends, one of whom is a boy she feels completely comfortable being herself around and who knows the truth about her alter ego.
When her secret life explodes in her face, and everyone including her learns certain truths, Gretchen is forced to confront her life and her problems as herself instead of hiding behind a faux identity.
As someone who has zero interest in stand up, I wasn't sure what to expect, And while I didn't laugh at the stand up itself, it didn't matter because I was cracking up at a million other things in the book, It's such a funny book with a relatable MC, and it's such a FUN read, There were so many twists, and the love interests are all perfection, Very strong character development and relationships between the character and her friends and family members, It's honestly probably the most fun I've had reading a book in awhile, I read it in one sitting, loved every second of it, and I didn't want it to end, And now I can't stop thinking about it,
Highly, HIGHLY recommend, “I dont believe in the story, I believe in the romcom, ”
This is a very cute cover, I loved the concept of comedians and standup, and using life experiences for material, . . I admittedly do the same thing and it honestly helps with confidence, Do it for the fics,
Gretchen was a fun and relatable narrator, I was so invested in her story and her growing friendships and selfgrowth, I could see myself in her so it really hurt when she socalled friend called her boring, Take this, “I dont have just resting bitch face, I have resting bitch personality” as the point in the story where I felt seen by her,
That being said, there was a bit of a love triangle or whatever shape, I think it was a square that annoyed me because two of the dudes in question were both little shits, Third dude was wholesome though, I didnt think there had to be a love story in this book but it made sense given the romcom themes, It really reads like that kind of movie, I picked up this book to be a distraction, I expected it to be cheesy and romcomish, I mean, the storyline is set up around a romcom, Instead, it was funny, it didn't follow sterotypes, and the author destroyed the love triangle sterotype, ltSo I started this book a while back and then stopped, Now I'm reading it again and I'm in love, The story was adorable! And I love the feminist queens! But the family was a bit confusing, I still don't understand. I think its that the moms are both twins, And the main character's mom hadkids, The first one now has his own kids a set of twins but he doesn't have much of a character, And the sisters are a couple years apart, And they have a close cousin! I think thats it! Thanks to the publisher for providing an audiogalley of The Girl Least Likely in exchange for an honest review,
I really thought I'd hate the protagonist in this at the beginning for being a YA cliche so I was beyond overjoyed when she went through actual dynamic character development that didn't just consist of her blaming everyone around her for her faults.
This was charming and fun and surprisingly honest and I will forever sing the praises of YA characters who actively attempt to better themselves,.
reading slump what's that I first saw this book while scrolling through Pinterest atam and was instantly intrigued so much so that I even clicked the link to some werid book page then read the synopsis love triangle comedy club double lives I already knew I was gone I SERCHED FOR THIS BOOK EVERYWHERE ON EVERY ILLEGAL BOOK DOUNLOAD SITE BUT NOTHING I FUCKING CAME UP
I think I knew from the Moment I layed eyes on that beautiful cover that I was not going to forget about this book anytime soooon
But yeah this was in September and now yesterday I came to know about an website called LibGen also know as heaven on earth for bookworms and I FOUND IT THERE I FOUND IT!!!!!
I THEN STARTED READING THIS BOOK ATTHEN FINISHED HALF OF IT byam at that point I had to stop because my mom was awake and she came into my room to use the restroom so I had to pretend was sleeping I had thought of reading again after my mom was gone but by the time my mom came out of the restroom I had fallen asleep for reals
So I had to read the rest of the book today otherwise I would have totally finished it that day
ANYHOW GUYS I AM OFFICIALLY AN UNDERATTED BOOKS MAGNET BUT LIKE SERIOUSLY WHERE ARE THIS GEMS FALLING FROM LIKE COME ON WHY ARE Y'ALL SLEEPING ON THIS BOOK SMH
Like seriously I have read books that don't have even a Penny of elegance that this book has but their somehow more popular god what have we come to this book is so goooood
Enjoyable funny with lots of character growth and I am not a fan of love trianglessquaresbut this one is probably the best one you'll ever read like seriously I was shocked bamboozled heartbroken but in a good way by the end of this I was Soo happy bout who she ends up with and it made sooo much sense no unecessary drama flawed but loveable main character Gretchen an absolutely adorable family and feminism also the cutest brother what more could you want
Also to anybody who doesn't want to read this bcuz of the love triangle trust me it's not quite like other ones you see normally and it was done really well Gretchen doesn't cheat on anybody or hurt someone
I also love how feminist this book was
Edit all that being said I do thing this book had some issues like when Gretchens mom scolded her brother for letting his daughter wear a princess dresswtf right but I think that part was done intentionally to make it more comical but we could have done without it another thing is although I loveeed Ethan him and Gretchen don't get alot of development cuz of the plot twist which sucked buz although I liked him I didn't like him enough
So yeah super addicting fun time does have some problems but fun kinda underated and underhiped in my opinion but the more time passes the more I start to question how much I even liked it you know but perfect if you want to get your mind of off things I really loved this book, it was super cute! The plot was really good and I ended up loving the main character.
The main character was biracial, hispanic and white, The parents were awesome and the love interests were al very different there wasnt any mixing up, This book dealt with putting yourself out there, feeling like you dont fit in, feminism, ROM COMS, comedy, romance, friends, and family!
I honestly enjoyed the main character a lot more than I thought I would.
In the beginning I was like eh shes kind of annoying but once you get to know her she really grew on me, I really liked how this book incorporated rom coms and rom com elements to the book it was just really fun!
I really didnt know how I was going to feel about this book when I picked it up, but honestly I really did like it a lot!! If you want a book with comedy, rom coms, and just and overall good book than definitely check this one out! I received an audio precopy of this book to review, and the synthesized voice took a little getting used to at first.
However, within the first chapter, the synthesized voice somehow made this book, . . even funnier I found it incredibly amusing to listen to a Sirilike voice debate the possible origins of common phrases like “balls to the wall” Side note: I totally had to google it to find out!
This witty book about selfdiscovery slightly gave me a “The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel” for teens vibe, with the main character accidentally finding herself on a standup comedy stage, and eventually discovering and sharing her true self through comedy, The author Katy Loutzenhisers humor shone through brightly, and I constantly found myself truly laughing out loud throughout this novel, I felt a real connection with Gretchen, the protagonist of this book, Gretchen used an alterego named Sabrina to “try on” personality traits that she didn't feel comfortable displaying in her real life, I know from experience that it can often be easier to be brave on a stage in a room full of strangers than to show courage in a room with a small group of friends.
I really enjoyed following Gretchens journey of selfdiscovery, and the constant stream of hilarious jokes made this incredibly likable book even better! To All the Boys meets The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel with a dash of Dumplin in this funny, romantic, and heartfelt coming of age story about a teen standup comic learning how to be her truest self, from the author of If Youre Out There.
Gretchen has always been more of a “least likely” than a “most likely” kind of girl, So how does she somehow find herself living out every trope from her favorite romcoms
The Best Friend Crush: Why is it suddenly so hard to act normal around her childhood BFF, Samuel Must be time for a
Makeover!: Black leather pants and some red lipstick are apparently enough to lend Gretchen the bravado to do an impromptu set at a comedy club, and catch the eye of
The Roguish Bad Boy: Jeremy, the alluring young comic who thinks her name is Sabrina.
It might just be
The Perfect Cover: A funnygirl alterego that frees Gretchen to explore who she really isand what she really wants, But as romcoms have taught her, leading a double life can only last so long, a book based on rom com tropes count me in!! Okay, this is the first book I read in a while, and one that I sort of enjoyed,
This book doesn't stand out much, And, to be very honest, is really unrealistic lmfao, I highly doubt someone can pull off getting away with someone's identity for so long without people finding out, I mean, we are in the age where even posting your feet online can make it, so people find out your personal information being hyperbolic, but the point still stands.
Okay, spoilers now, This girl what's her name, . . , Gretchen, is not like the other girls, She doesn't like parties or people or whatever, but her best friend, Sam, does, Oh, and she has a crush on Sam, Oh, woo. One day, she goes to a club illegally, using her cousin's roomate's ID with her sister and cousin and end up on stage doing a comedy act, She is so good at it, that she enters a competition to do an opening for some famous comedian, In the process, she meets this hunk of a man, Jeremy that was sarcastic, . . while dealing with her feelings with Sam,
Alright, that's the summary, Was the book bad No, It could've been better, however, My problem stems from the end, when, it turns out, Ethan, a friend of Gretchen, actually likes her and they end up together, I mean, it was obvious but still, Oh, yeah, this book doesn't even have a love triangle, it has a love whatever geometrical shape, Gretchen likes Sam, who likes her but also likes Natalie, who likes Sam, and there's Jeremy who likes Gretchen, and she likes him too but WAIT, hold your horses, ETHAN likes Gretchen too and I guess she does also because THEY END UP TOGETHER.
Gretchen is written to be the "other girl", compared to Natalie, not the cute and popular person but someone who blends into the background, How the hell does she haveboys chasing after herEthan and Gretchen have no build up and no chemistry, He was an outlet for Gretchen to vent about Sam and to help her with her comedy acts, They were cute friends but a coupleI kinda was rooting for Sam and Gretchen :c, Maybe because Sam is my type,
Another problem I have is with the feminism in this book, Don't worry, I love having modern feminism in my books, but the way it was written was weird, It was like an antifeminist wrote it, Do feminists really mention the patriarchy every,seconds That's unrealistic. The messages that were sent were good though, Stop pitting girls against each other, they can succeed, they can their own goals and interests, they can dress however they want, etc, etc, Now, this kinda goes out the window when Gretchen's mom gets mad at her son Gretchen's brother when he lets his daughter wear a princess dress, . . what the hell is this I get that Disney princesses were not the greatest role models, but the point is that girls can be whoever they want, So what, she wants to be a princess Get over it, Her choice. It was so weird to have a character who advocates for women's autonomy to get mad when a girl in this case chooses to wear a princess dress, . .
All the characters were fine, but unremarkable, Of course, Jeremy ended up being the guy who cheated on Gretchen's cousin with the roommate, and I'm glad Gretchen did not go running back to him,
In all, it was an okay book, I have nothing much else to say except thank you for getting me out of my reading slump, I don't recommend it, though, there are other better books out there I don't know with similar concepts, though, It doesn't even have to do with the title, It's a nice
filler book, if you're bored or if you have nothing to read, Or in a bizarre reading slump, This book surprised me, it didn't go in the direction I thought it would and had a twist that I didn't see coming, It's a cute coming of age story with plenty of jokes and it went by quickly, Gretchen is funny and awkward and struggling with who she is and who she wants to be, When she accidentally ends up on stage for a stand up comedy show, things begin to click for her, As Gretchen writes her jokes, she starts to come to terms with some of the feelings she's been pushing down,
Gretchen is in love with her best friend Sam, but is too afraid to tell him, When she doing stand up, she starts to fall for fellow comic Jeremy, but he thinks she's someone else, I enjoyed watching Gretchen decipher her feelings about the boys, but my favorite part was her relationship with her family, She feels unappreciated and less than her siblings, As the youngest kid, Gretchen thinks her parents don't put as much effort into raising her and that her sister and cousin outshine her, I think a lot of people have felt this way and my heart went out to Gretchen,
The romance was fun and went a unique way, I thought this was well paced and some of the jokes made me chuckle, I'm excited for this to be out in the world!
I received an advanced audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, .
