I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked the first story by Maureen Johnson, but I couldn't stand Jubilee's “I'm not like other girls” attitude. I'm happy that another character challenges Jubilee about her blanket prejudice against cheerleaders. I didn't like that John Green's story featured another woman with an “I'm not like other girls” attitude, who goes unchallenged. I found the overall story to be fun, but I didn't like any of the characters. John Green's story also includes a character saying the R word and a lot of “Asian guys have small genitals” jokes. I had a hard time getting into Lauren Myracle's story because although I related to Addie's catastrophizing, the plot moved very slowly. I felt like the story moved too slowly up until the final pages, when it suddenly moved too fast.
