Bad Taste In Men by Lana Cooper

About The Book:

Have you ever felt like even Mother Theresa has got more game than you? If you have, you’d be in the same boat as geeky, awkward metalhead Nova Porter. Bad Taste In Men follows Nova from her prepubescent years through young adulthood and her attempts at getting dudes to dig her. Juggling self-esteem issues, small town outsider status, and questionable taste in guys, Nova is looking for love in all the wrong places – like the food court at the mall. Nova’s circle of friends and her strange(ly) endearing family more than make up for what her love life lacks. Along the way, Nova alternately plays the roles of hero and villain, mastermind and stooge; picking up far more valuable life lessons than numbers for her little black book. One part chick lit for tomboys and one part Freaks and Geeks for kids who came of age in the mid-’90s, Bad Taste In Men is loaded (like a freight train) with pop cultural references and crude humor. From getting laughed at by your crush to being stood up (twice!) by a guy with one eye, Bad Taste In Men showcases the humor and humiliation that accompanies the search for love (or at least “like”) as a small-town teenage outcast, managing to wring heart-warming sweetness from angsty adolescent memories – and jokes about barf and poop.

My Thoughts:

This is a great book, and I can so relate to it, as I was a teen in the 90's. I love the pop culture references, takes me back, and made the story more relate-able to me! Great fun read! For adults and teens alike!
