Can't wait to see Jordan in person at MLA Annual! I think this is a feel good read--it made me laugh in many parts.
I still haven't read this one fully.. just didn't get into it.
I liked the humor and the self discovery in this book, but I don't know if it's the absolute best of the year.

I agree with Katie's comment. Not sure where in the top 20 pack this one falls for me.
I liked this book. Sort of a fake-it-till-you-make-it idea. Not in my top 5.
