About a Girl by Lindsey Kelk

3.0

'About a girl' is a light-hearted, raunchy comedy, chick-lit with its predictable sequence of events and dragged out storyline. I can't say I exactly enjoyed the whole book because there wasn't much going on, but while reading I envisioned a Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph movie with a stereotypical male gay character and bitchy flatmate. The whole cast of bridesmaids could be in this movie and I would definitely watch it, but as a book, it was dragged out (in my opinion) and never truly stuck to the plot. I mean for the most part, I did enjoy it, there was drama, totally unrealistic scenarios, alright sex scenes, you know I like the occasional 'comedic' chick flick/lit but over 400 pages of it..... it got a bit hard to handle. 3/5 stars
