I bought this by accident on Amazon (DAMN YOU ONE CLICK) so I was like meh I'll read it whatever, I like Abigail Breslin, and this made me...not like her. It's like if you plucked literally any 15-year-old with a Tumblr and let them do exactly what they do on Tumblr in book form. It's a hot mess. Also it took me less than 30 minutes to read the entire thing. I would've enjoyed reading about her unusual upbringing, life as an award-winning child actor, etc, but instead it's a vapid, cliché, nonsensical tumblr post complete with chatspeak and emojis that literally anyone could've written. UNFORTUNATE because I really do think she's a cool gal.

It surprises me that 20 year old plus people come on here and give a negative review to a book written for 13 year olds. Use some perspective. This book is excellent for middle school girls to read. It has a good message and is written in a style that they can relate to. Some teens don't have the time or inclination to read through 350 pages of a fantasy novel. This book is right up their alley.

I honestly love this. Breslin has such a clear, strong voice in her writing and shares advice I wish I'd had as a teen. It's "He's Just Not That Into You" 2.0 - for breakups in a time where social media reigns supreme.
Plus, it's a quick read.

Completely and utterly pointless pretty much sums it up. Luckily was a quick read so didn't take me long to finish. Found it to be quite childish and even though you would think that an actress who is probably well travelled and you would assume would have had to grow up alot quicker than some people wasn't wise to the world. Maybe it's because I'm over 10 years older than she was when she wrote it but I pretty much had the opinion of been there, done that and moved on so can you move on with it please. Felt very childish and was like reading a blog from a teenager who thinks they know it all and haven't come close to living yet and becoming wise to the world

Before picking up this book, I went on goodreads to check the reviews. The reviews indicated I would not like this book. Then I proceeded to read the book anyway. Why did I do this?
Anyway, just as the reviewers I ignored have said before me, this book is vapid, and the essays range from pointless to aggravating. It's trying to be magazine-type advice for tween girls, which I could actually get behind, except that the advice is not good.
"Tbh, guys don’t really think about that. [...] It just doesn’t happen; it just doesn’t work that way. Trust me."
I don't trust you. Where are you getting this information? No evidence is provided.
It gets worse when she starts giving advice on how to dress for dates. She concedes that being yourself is important, but...
"But . . . that also doesn’t mean you have to be a full-blown psychopath as I may have been in the past. There’s a time and a place to carry the cat bags, kids."
There's a lot to unpack here. This might be acceptable advice for an adult, but telling actual children to tamp down their interests in order to land a second date? Not a good look. Also, way to throw in some gratuitous ableism by using the word psychopath to describe your fashion regrets.
The book is also structured really badly. A lot of the essays revolve around one incident in Breslin's life with a specific group of friends and the relationships between them. That would be a great way to tie the chapters together, except that the story isn't told in order. The essays just all reference different parts of this story and you have to piece it together like a detective. Not like it's a mystery, but like she assures you she's going to explain why everyone was mad at each other in a future chapter, and you get to read all about their passive-aggressive texting without any context until ten chapters later.
I should have trusted the reviews. This was not a good read.

After reading this, there is nothing I want more than to be Abigail Breslin's best friend. THIS GIRL GETS ME. I actually just messaged her on her blog so I'm hoping she replies.
But the title lies. Nothing about this book sounded crazy, or even "may have."
Abigail's a great writer. She's miles away from being fantastic but her book is hilarious and relatable and if she had posted it on her blog I would have loved it so much. But there was no need to write a book. It's like YouTubers: they're fun as hell to watch, but no way am I watching their videos in movie format in the cinemas.
Every story I read here were stories I could find on Tumblr if I searched the right tag. What makes her so special? Well, obviously, we all know what makes her special: she's been acting since she was five. BUT SHE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT THAT AT ALL WHEN SHE COULD'VE AND IT WOULD'VE MADE HER BOOK STAND OUT SO MUCH MORE!!!
Still, it was a pretty fun book, even if it wasn't as crazy as I hoped it would be and it taught me things I already knew. I don't know if this is for everyone but if you're like me and the whole Tumblr aesthetic is for you then this book's pretty enjoyable.

I'll rate this at just barely cresting 2.5 stars, and only because I think this is a book 13 year old me should have read. 13 year old me would have appreciated the "you go girl!" messages, the use of unnecessary abbreviations/hashtags and words like "bae." Ok...maybe not bae. (Am I the only one who hates that word?) But all in all I think Breslin has some solid advice and witty anecdotes for pre-teen and teen girls just beginning to navigate the dating world.

Very cute book with funny anecdotes that are great for young adults.
November 24, 2015
Directed at a younger audience for sure, but I freaking love her. Where was she when I was her age!?
January 22, 2018
This book made me kind of annoyed. It read as very informal, to the point where the author would go off-topic during a chapter for a paragraph. Capitals were used a lot, as were slang and abbreviations. . . I get that this was directed towards teenagers who'd like this style, but I am a teenager and I did not like it. It was weird, mostly since it was written in a way that seems like it'd appeal more for middle-school audiences, but then she discusses things not at all appropriate for that age range. (And never mind that middle schoolers shouldn't need dating advice since that's really young to date...)
Also, I don't quite understand the whole point of the book. Overall, it was about relationship advice, but there was a chapter devoted to her love of Christmas and then another chapter about how to give off a "Nah vibe" that was actually more about how to flirt. . . even though it was a chapter about how NOT to flirt. . . it didn't make a lot of sense.
It just felt like she wrote it all at once with no editing. It was mostly stories about relationship problems that had happened to her or her friends with some advice on the side.
I also find relationship books like these difficult to take seriously if the author isn't happily married. All in all, a very strange read.

I truly believe this book is meant for a specific audience - teenagers! Her writing is 100% like how my kids talk so it was easy to read and follow along with, but honestly speaking, as a slightly older woman, it wasn't my cup of tea. But I think it's amazing that she spent the time to write a book and share her thoughts with the world. I believe teenagers would get so much out of what she has to say.
January 24, 2016
I'm sure Abigail Breslin is a very nice person, but I l literally feel dumber for having read this.
This was a bunch of nonsensical rambling about absolutely nothing, and was full of acronyms, text-speak, emojis and hashtags - all of which have no place in a book, in my opinion. I would have loved to hear about her life as a child actor, but instead I got a lot of jabbering about breakups and Christmas and nothing at all that "may sound crazy".
I only finished this because I was recovering from surgery and it took too much effort to get up and get a new book. Sad but true.
Also, can someone please tell me what the heck "bae" is?

I have always loved Abigail she's a talented actress :) even though this book was mainly for a younger audience I still enjoyed it :)

I was hoping this would be more like a biography or even something vaguely resembling semi-autobiographical.
This is more like a self help book than anything, short vignettes loosely linked to whatever was happening in Abigail’s teenage life at the time. This is the kind of book I would have devoured when I was a teenager, desperately trying to hide the crush I had on the older college guy, who had a girlfriend at the time, while at the same time, trying to think of some way to split them up. Strictly against the “girl code”, something Abigail references. I would have looked for the answers in this book.
In probably 5-10 years, Abigail will look back on this book and cringe. It’s like reading your diaries from your teenage years. It’s so overly dramatic at some points, that I was cringing. Hard. I was hoping for more insight into growing up on film sets, or the various films she’s worked in. Not this, which features such insightful chapters as “Why not to believe everything you read on social media”, “Reasons to not stalk your ex”, “the friend code”, and “How not to flirt”.
In all fairness, the chapters are short and I do like that she’s tried to do something different from everything else in the celebrity biography market. And there are some helpful tips in it, if you’re in the targeted audience, if you’re a teenage girl in the first throes of unrequited love (that’s another chapter.) For the cynics out there, I would wait for her actual biography. Unless you have that teenage girl in your life.

November 26, 2015Okay so l see that there are currently only a few reviews on here so I'm going to change that.
I don't like rating books with different amounts of stars because I feel as though every author is trying to achieve something different in every book, and to line those books up and label them with star amounts is something that honestly can make me nauseous. The injustice of it all bothers me, ranking books based on literary achievement when, say, an author's intent was not in fact to have figurative language, grammar perfection, and other such elements, but was in fact to create a compelling story wrapped in emotion and brutal honesty.
That's not to say that I don't give star amounts to books. Sometimes, when I find a book I just really, really love, I can't help supporting it with five beautiful golden stars.
But that's just the thing. Here, I occasionally give books five stars because I just fell in love with them or I feel they have too much literary value to not give five stars to. That's what meets my criteria for five stars. But everyone else? They have COMPLETELY different ideas of what five stars can mean.
And to see so many people dissing this book because of the way it's written, the ramble-y flow of it, and other such elements hurts me.
And this goes for all books, really.
Someone got the guts to put his/her ideas, emotions, thoughts, dreams into written words, spent the time doing it, and gave it to the world to read.
And yes, I totally understand that criticism is an essential and, unfortunately, inevitable result of letting one's work be read by the world and therefore judged by it. But what I don't understand is the need to publicly criticize a book condescendingly.
Sure, we all have those books that make us want to rip our hair out because, to us, the writing is off, the grammar is horrific, or the plot is just downright wrong. But just because we have those feelings doesn't mean everybody needs to know about them. I'm totally cool with simmering down those opinions and presenting them clearly, factually, and concisely in a non-condescending way, but when expressing one's opinion of a book turns into insulting, ridiculing, and potentially hurting the author, things have gone way too far.
Ranting about everything wrong with a book or even reviewing it with a single, stabbing comment is not only unnecessary, but hurtful and immature.
You may not give your spur of the moment review a second thought from your side of the screen, but words hurt. And whether you know it or not, those words can hurt who they're directed to. Or perhaps even who they're not directed to.
The purpose of the previous paragraphs hasn't been to condemn those who have submitted hurtful reviews in the past, but rather to bring to people's attention how much of an effect words can have on someone.
As for the actual book, there were times when I had my doubts. Needless to say, this is not the most literary accurate book yet written. However, Abbie herself voiced a similar statement to mine in an interview. She KNOWS this isn't your regular book and called it entirely unorthodox.
My question is, why is everyone reviewing it as if they expected it to be entirely novel-like?
I had my moments cringing at the texting lingo, but once I understood Abbie's goal of trying to create something tween and teen girls could look to as a shoulder to cry on and a friend to relate to, I was able to appreciate this book on an entirely different level.
Identifying as one myself, teenagers today speak in text abbreviations and tumblr-like blogging styles. Maybe not every teenager, and maybe not all to certain extents, but for the most part, teenagers are so familiar with websites like tumblr and the blogging lingo used on said websites, that writing out a heartfelt guide to relationship problems in a tumblr-esque way was Abbie's way of creating something that her intended audience could understand and relate to in a language they were familiar with.
When you have this in mind while reading or reviewing the book, everything is different. In my opinion at least, Abbie succeeded in creating something for teenagers to find relatable while offering up some genuine humor and advice.
Why are so many people critiquing this book for its literary value instead of for its measure of success in achieving the author's intended purpose?
To return to my star rating opinions, I don't like rating things because I never know exactly what the criteria for rating them is made up of. In my opinion, books should be rated for their success in achieving the author's intended purpose, and not for anything else. Because really that's what writing is, building a dream with words, and until I know what authors' dreams are for their books, I'll never quite know how to rate them on how close the written words made it to encapturing and representing those dreams.
Thank you to those who took the time to read this, I genuinely appreciate your time and thought. Whether you agree with me or not, knowing my opinion has been voiced and heard is enough satisfaction.
To Abbie, on the chance that you read this review:
I have admired your acting skills from a young age and was ecstatic to hear your voice in written form. At first, I was critical of some aspects of your book, but once I recognized the purpose of it, I greatly enjoyed it. You are sweet and relatable and had me laughing out loud on how *not* to flirt. Though I couldn't relate to the relationship advice, I appreciated it for the help it will be to other girls. Don't ever let the haters get you down, and know that your book achieved its purpose, and all those people saying mean things about it don't understand that purpose and can't yet appreciate it fully until they do.
You rock Abbie.

I wanted a bio, this wasn't a deep story of her life, but more like a cute advice books for teens and young adults about love and friendship.. I liked the bold fonts and large print and use of emoticons... it was cute, and someday I hope she writes her biography because I think she's a talented young lady and I'd love to here about her making movies since she was a little kid.
December 7, 2017
It was OK. Not a big fan of all the abbreviations. It seems to read like something out of multiple social media posts.
July 20, 2018
i loved this book a lot, theirs not many words to discribe how much i loved this but let's just say i'm shook. this book is life.
August 4, 2018
Ugh. I wanted to enjoy this. It was vapid and annoying. I did laugh though so there’s that.
February 21, 2019
Good advice for teens culled from Abigail's personal experiences.

Cute book. Loved Breslin's voice, the dry humour and the way she didn't take herself too seriously. I especially loved the last chapter. ❤❤❤

This may sound crazy, but I think Abigail Breslin is my BFF now?

I was gifted this book, and I am clearly not the intended audience.
I tried to think of my 17-19 year old self, and what she would think of it. She probably would have given it a four.

After reading a couple bad reviews I had to say
yeah the book is short... but it's artsy
sure the book has some advice... but it DOES link back to her life
The only thing I would say is that this should have been more magazine like with a soft cover and a much much smaller price tag
I'm a student, not a movie star ):
