| I am one of the few people out there who actually enjoys seeing the movie first and reading the book after. I stumbled upon Ask Me Anything on Netflix one late night and was completely captivated. I was instantly taken with how realistic the characters were, being in my late 20's I could completely connect with Katie's emotions and actions. Once the film was over I immediately needed more of the story and ordered the book.
As with the film I was enthralled in the story.

I cringed at the typos. Is it too much to ask for our heroine to use Firefox?
So this book started out as a set of entertaining blog entries from a 17 year old who is fooling around with someone 15 years her senior. I might have related to that just a bit. But it didn't take long for me to lose my ability to relate to 'Katie'. It took a turn for the serious, as she became..moreJan 12, 2015AMASHI rated it liked itI find it very difficult to explain my opinion.
This book is good but it contains too many complications.
And I think Katie's character is enigmatic. I couldn't comprehend what she really wanted with her life. I assume her traumatic past is the reason for her perplexing behavior.
I wish Katie was a bit more strong and focused.
Throughout most of the book, I was mostly irritated with the main character. I felt like it was the author's perverse fantasy of a teenage sexpot rather than a realistic account of a troubled 17-year-old. He also wrote the story in a way that was very predictable. It was very clear how the story would unfold with each new character. That is, predictable until the end, when it gets flipped upside down and abruptly ends with no closure. The ending left me feeling unsettled and confused, liking the..moreJul 04, 2009Aerin rated it it was ok Shelves: social-commentary, young-adult, review-copyFrom the publisher:

It seems like a great idea, an awesome book along the lines of If I Stay or Wintergirls. Just watch the trailer.

I had a hard time rooting for her when she was so destructive, but I think that was the point. Kate is perfectly happy screwing anyone and everyone and sees it as a confident power move. That wasn’t the case for me, and I definitely held no regard for the men she was after either.
Probably the most disappointing pa..moreI was sucked into this voyeuristic mess from page one. Katie Kampenfelt is seventeen, and already everthing our mothers warned us about. Her blog chronicles her excessive drinking and drug use, her sexcapades with her boyfriend and the older man she's sleeping with, and fantasies about her boss. The style, while gimmicky, is relevant - everyone has a blog, everyone thinks their life is newsworthy. And while Katie's blog is indeed different from the rest, what she's writing is nothing you would w..moreNov 06, 2017Kimberly Mccune rated it did not like itHave you ever wondered what a middle aged white dude thinks being a teenaged girl is like? Have you ever wanted heavy topics such as child molestation, rape, depression, suicide, and abortion to be handled in the worst way possible? Have you ever thought that we need more literary fiction that sets women back further than the Trump administration? Have you ever spent 300 pages wondering who the fuck is in charge of editing over at Random House? WELL YOU ARE IN LUCK FAM.I found this book quite hard to read once I realized the author was a male. I had issues with the plot, it was liked he thought of every possible dysfunctional thing that could possibly happen to a teenage girl and wrote it all down. The ending would have been twisted coming from the female perspective, but I found it quite disturbing coming from the male. This author is not one I would read.This seems like a real account of someone you probably know. A real girl telling a real story about something that could really happen. But yet, it's never really boring. Burnett writes it in a way that feels like you're sharing juicy gossip with one of your best girlfriends, constantly.
Definitely a chick book. Or maybe even a very sensitive boy book. But classified by gender or not, it's a story that will actually bring up true emotions and maybe even make you remember painful anecdotes of your..moreTHIS BOOK IS DEEP, CAPTIVATING AND UNDERRATED.Jan 02, 2019Nora-Kate rated it really liked itNot a bad way to start off the 2019 reading year. I loved the writing, it made the story flow so seamlessly that it kept me addictively flipping pages even though I didn't always appreciate the heavy topics dealt with. And there are A LOT!
As a rule I don't usually appreciate books written in an epistolary or blog/journal type style but this one was written well enough it made me change my mind.Honestly, I was surprised by the book. It’s set up as a blog-to-book, and in it you watch as the narrator (the definition of the “unreliable narrator” to be sure) grows as a blogger, and disintegrates in some ways as a person. The idea of being able to be completely open in the anonymity is, at first, a relief and exciting thing for her, later it seems to be something that pushes her to more extreme and outrageous behavior… if for no other reason than to get a reaction from her readers.

She is a 17 year old teenager who lives her life without really thinking of the consequences. She has a boyfriend Rory who is more or less her age and she is also having an affair with an older guy whom she calls Dan and who already has a girlfriend. She takes a year off before joining college because she feels she isn’t ready.
She calls herself Katie. Although Katie lives..moreOkay, for once I'm going to skip to my own little made-up synopsis. There are four specific words that sum up this story, in a nutshell: crudely honest yet deceitful. Straight-up. The fact that it's written in blog-format is just a bonus, I swear. By the time you get through the first few posts of self-knowing to self-questing, you're hooked. I got a head-ache from reading straight from the start to page 174. ('Course, that could have been also because it was the middle of the night.) The sexual..moreAug 03, 2009Michael rated it liked itThe back cover for 'Undiscovered Gyrl' declares 'only on the Internet can you have so many friends and be so lonely.'
That statement sums up a lot of the life of first-person narrator, Katie Kampenfelt. Katie has decided to defer her college for a year to find out what she really wants to do in life. She chronicles this journey via her popular blog that picks up a lot of hits, comments and e-mails about Katie and her lifestyle.

It was an easy read - breezed through it in a day. I understand that the movie rights have already been sold & they are making a movie of this with Miley Cyrus in the lead role which seems appropriate.
This is a series of blog entries which on the surface sounds like it might be something different & cool, but in reality reads just like any other book done in diary form.

When I first opened the book I thought, 'Oh no, not another book in blog.' I bought the book without opening it and sampling it. When I was in the store I turned it over and saw that it was a modern Lolita. That was enough for me to buy it. Lolita is my favorite book. But then I saw that the book was one long blog.

I liked it because it was written in blog form. I have read books written like diaries but never blogs.
Some other things I liked is that the author makes you feel for Katie. She is a troubled teen who drinks, smokes, has a bad relationship with her father, and sleeps with older men. You can't help but feel sorry for her.
Saying this, there are some things in the book that were very bold and detailed.

Like the constant use of 'Ha!' or 'gyrl'. Other than that I would definitely recommend this book.

And strangely enough I was..moreUndiscovered Gyrl True StoryI'm not sure what to say about this book. It's a compelling read, to say the very least. It's definitely good. But the word that I keep coming back to is 'disturbing.'
A blurb on the back says it's basically an updated Lolita, except that she's telling her own story on a blog. For me, though, it reminded me of Blake Nelson's Girl. That one was about a freshman in high school and Undiscovered Gyrl is about a girl who should be a freshman in college, but she deferred her acceptance for a year.
Throu..moreI wasn't expecting much, but as the story unfolded it sucks you in. It's raw and unapologetic. Teenagers are naive, and quite rightly so it's their innocence. All boys and men that young females encounter can destroy them in many ways so easily so effortlessly. Katie from what I could interpret was hurt young, before she even knew how to comprehend pain or hurt. As time passes this seed that had been planted grew alongside her, and she lived in its shadow.

I ran into the movie 'Ask Me Anything' on Netflix and stopped halfway through, deciding I ought to give the book a try. I'm certainly glad I did; ultimately I got through it in an entire day. Once again, I always say that easy reads are good reads, even though that's not the only criteria.

When the book (or blog;-) starts, the un-named protaganist is at a stand still in her life: no ambition for college, doesn't want to work, feels she's been left behind while most of her friends go on to college. As the story goes on, her life starts to spiral more and more out of control. All the while, she's blogging it all for her reader's to get the inside view.

In the tradition of 'Go Ask Alice' by Anonymous, this book is written from the first person perspective of a 17 year old girl. She starts a journal and angles it to maximize attention and shock from her readers with her candor and her dangerous, risky sexual escapades. This is not a titillating book, it's a sad book.

This is a story about a 17/18 year old girl - it is told in blog form. The main character is not a likable person. She is on the verge of becoming an alcoholic and is quite mean to friends and family. There are a lot of similarities between her and her father. This is good for a quick read. Spoiler Alert (sorta of): The reason for the 3 star is because of the ending. It seems like a cheap shot by the author. Nov 05, 2009Jamshid Faryar rated it really liked itEven while she is being self-destructive, the 17/18 year-old author of the 'blog,' that is the text of this book, is self-aware, sexy and funny.
