Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Marjorie Plum never meant to peak in high school. She was Queen Bee. Now, 10 years later, she's lost her sparkle. At her bleakest moment, she’s surprised by renewed interest from a questionable childhood crush, and the bickering with her cranky boss—at a potentially game-changing new job—grows increasingly like flirtatious banter. Suddenly, she’s faced with a choice between the life she always dreamed of and one she never thought to imagine. With the help of a precocious 11-year-old tutee, who unknowingly becomes the Ghost of Marjorie Past, and a musician roommate, who looks like a pixie and talks like the Dalai Lama, Marjorie struggles with the ultimate question: Who does she want to be? Nora Zelevansky’s Will You Won’t You Want Me? is a funny, often surprising, novel about growing up when you are already supposed to be grown.

    This book wasn't really too interesting for me. I couldn't relate to Marjorie in any way possible and she just kind of seemed unauthentic. The "proof" of her character development was so utterly underwhelming and had no relation to the plot at all. It also seems that things just fall into her lap-even after she supposedly goes through a change in character. What made Freddie forgive her so easily? Why did she even get the job at the film company? She had no prior experience besides watching movies with her father. Overall, I felt the book to be not relatable and not realistic in the slightest.
