Apparently I'm boring. A nobody.But that's all about to change.
Because I am starting a project.
Here. Now. For myself.
And if you want to come along for the ride then you're very welcome.
Bree is by no means popular. Most of the time, she hates her life, her school, her never-there-parents. So she writes.

(First of all a quick note to say I haven't edited this review. It's a mess. I'm tired. Oh well. I hope it's coherent.)This book was... okay.It had a message. It was well-written (ish). It kept me coming back and turning the page, desperate to read more explicit details of Bree's messy experiment. But it was also problematic.Bree was generally a very strange character. She had depth, yes- immensely so, as we figure out- but she seems like an ego-maniac, to be blunt. Maybe the author was tryingI am not sure how to feel about the book. The Manifesto on How to be Interesting is basically about a high school outcast who experiments on how to be interesting as part of her research in becoming a writer.

My first read of 2015 could not have been a better choice. After purchasing this back on August, even just the cover has had me so exited to indulge in this read.

LOVED this! Such a great take on "high school drama", identity & self-harm. So proud of my friend Holly for writing this & so glad I enjoyed it otherwise things would be awkward between us...

I rang in 2017 with a Holly Bourne, so I was hoping to wait until the New Year to read this. But Thursday saw me feeling a little downnot in any serious way, but just in the sense that I wanted a book that wouldnt be too sad. Bournes writing, despite involving sensitive issuesin this case, bullying, sexual harassment/assault, and self-harm and attempted suicide (trigger warning: I will discuss these later)always puts me in a better mood. She has this way of buoying you, of making you feel
