1.5/5Yes, please, ignore Vera Dietz. Ignore this book altogether.At first I thought it was just too off-the-wall-quirky for my liking. Which it was. But so much worse than that, too.Meet Vera. She's better than you. And everyone else tbh.According to her.Important: Vera is not a slut. Cause there are a lot of sluts in this book. You are a stripper? You are a slut. You wear black eyeliner?

About all the pieces of you you leave behind with every book you read and every page you turn. That oxymoronic feeling of being fully empty. And
I have been lucky enough to read a LOT of great books this year and up until now I had a clear I-shine-above-the-rest favourite: On the Jellicoe Road. Though I am actually going to be daring enough to say to all you Marchetta-obsessed bookaholics that for me Please Ignore Vera Dietz could compete with the sad and beautiful emotional turmoil I felt for On the Jellicoe Road.There are two young adult topics that always make me think "oh, not again", and they are:1) teen pregnancy, and2) coping with
