You’re either going to love or hate this book. I loved it!
Anika Dragomir is one of the most refreshing characters that I have read in a while. She deals with fairly standard teen dramas, boys, parents and tirades from evil queen bee, Becky. But it is her quick wit and sarcasm will initially shock you and then make you laugh out loud. Seriously, I wish I had of read this book when I was trying to get a decent grade in sports class.

This book does take quite a dramatic and unexpected turn which I am still shocked about and processing. The fact that this happened to the author makes it all the more horrific.

Overall, it was a dark, at times brutally honest take on high school life and very different to most contemporary YA around at the moment.

This was one of those books that I was unsure how I felt about at first; I found the first half of the book to be very cleverly written and hilarious from the witty protagonist of Anika Dragomir, but almost too similar to other contemporary YA novels. Once I finished the book, though, I was so shocked and horrifically impressed (you'll understand what I mean once you read it!) by the outcome of the novel that my overall review of it is that it is a really fantastic read. Sure, the typical high school dramas are there and may seem cliche to some– there's the love triangle, the social hierarchy and sinister queen bee of school life, and less-than-amazing home life – however, the way Anatomy of a Misfit is written is guiltily, almost disconcertingly funny, and truly satisfying. I really enjoyed it-- it's different, dark and brilliantly sarcastic.
