Britta isn't cool. She isn't popular, she isn't pretty. School life isn't much fun, but that's the way the world is. Which would be a terrible shame if this was the only world available. Fully immersive virtual reality gaming allows Britta to enter a fantasy world where she can be whoever she wants to be. She can be tall, she can be thin, she can be beautiful. So she decides to be a gnome — short, hairy and plump. She's never looked for other people's approval before, she certainly isn't going to start now. Bitter is an ongoing slice-of-life story about a girl who finds her life isn't what she wanted, so she gets another one. Also available as a daily online serial on MoodyLit.com. This book collects chapters in an edited form.
Very funny, and very interesting as well. I read this one on the author's blog, so it was a bit of a hassle having to read a page at a time, which usually held a single chapter, then move to the next one, and find the small text box that had the story in it, out of all that nonsense on the page, but it worked, and although it was a pain, it was well worth the effort. I'll probably (eventually) buy it on Amazon anyhow, just so I have a copy, because it is certainly an amusing story, and one I shall continue to follow.
