Wednesday night, I finished Possible Side Effects, which Linnea had so wonderfully let me borrow for months and months. Much like Augusten's other books, I finished it in two nights, and loved it.
My favorite story was the one about him and his friend who used to show other drivers pictures of crazy porn when the drivers would do things like not use a signal, cut them off, or just drive like assholes in general. But really, every story in the book ruled.
Augusten is rude, and I kind of want to hang out with him, like, a lot.
I give Possible Side Effects three out of three Starbucks logos, because it was awesome.

Last night, I finished reading Normal Girl, by Molly Jong-Fast. It ruled. It was the story of a nineteen-year-old Manhattan socialite, Miranda Woke, who is a drug addict and thinks she's responsible for her boyfriend's death. It was pretty awesome. I love reading about teenagers, and I especially love reading about those with eating disorders, or drug problems, or who are really rich and messed up.
I won't spoil the ending, but it ends differently than I had hoped, but it was still a satisfying way to end the story of Miranda. It was really well written, and was an extremely quick read. I'm not sure what age group it's meant for, but I can see someone in high school, especially if they are like how me and my friends were in high school, loving this book and getting something out of it.
I give Normal Girl three out of three Starbucks logos, for being well-written, holding my interest throughout, and for having a really good cover.
