I like to imagine, sometimes, that Caitlin Moran is my friend. We have such fun together in my head! You would love hanging with us. Shopping for orthopaedic boots, listening to shoegaze, and cackling like fishwives. We share stories about our fat, unpopular, wannabe-indie childhoods. We have loads to talk about. I love to hear her anecdotes! My friend Caitlin is proper funny.

In How to Build a Girl, Caitlin Moran has created one of the funniest, most genuine and vivid characters I've read in a long time. Johanna Morrigan is witty, insecure and delightfully crass. And her story—that of a day-dreaming young girl growing up poor in 1990's Wolverhamption (which I can only assume equates to the British suburbs) who aspires to music journalism fame by reinventing herself as 'Dolly Wilde' after a disaster on live TV—is charming and incredibly relatable. Johanna goes through..more
In trying to figure out why Caitlin Moran's How to Build a Girl reminded me of The Bell Jar, for me it came down to how raw emotion set the tone as well as smart heroines on a collision course with a future they had hoped to control. In How to Build a Girl, Johanna self-consciously invents a new and crazy personality for herself complete with a new name, Dolly Wilde. Dolly is a self-styled writer, Goth girl, partier and sex adventurer. This was a darkly funny and compelling story. Though it's al..more

How to Build a Girl is a story of a teenage girl, Johanna Morrigan, who lives with her family in an over crowed home of 7 in a community estate, Wolverhampton England in the 1990’s. Johanna lives on hand-me-downs, she is badly dressed, over weight and tends to talk too much and is not happy how her teenage life is working out. After she humiliated herself on national TV, Johanna decided to re-invent herself to Dolly Wilde; outspoken, free spirited gothic babe and a pop-music review critic to be..more

I LOVED this book. It was as if Caitlin Moran had read my teenage diary and wrote it all out for me. Her writing perfectly captured that of a teen and managed to transport me back into my 14 year old self, insecure but eager to tackle the world, believing I knew it all when I really knew nothing and reminding me of all the mistakes I made along the road to discovering myself. Reading this was like therapy, realizing all those mistakes in life weren't made for nothing but were essential in me 'bu..more

The bits about masturbation and sex are funny, and there are some true, helpful, and new insights into what it's like to be a teenage girl, but this book is a complete mess. The narrator's voice shifts all over the place, without warning, and seemingly by accident--sometimes she's a teenager, sometimes she's an adult looking back on her teenage years. We're told that the protagonist is awkward and insecure, but she talks like a witty 40-something writer dashing off one-liners in her office. Ther..more

This was such a funny and gritty coming-of-age story about a girl who decides to reinvent herself, takes on another persona and starts working at a music magazine when she's just fifteen. I didn't get half of the references to the music scene of 1990s England, but that didn't really bother me and overall I really enjoyed the process of reading this.

During the first 50 pages or so, I developed buyer's remorse. Not a painful, howl at the moon remorse, but a vibe. The story had its moments, including some excellent observations, an often interesting, amusing, vulnerable fourteen year old narrator who was growing on me, but some of the events, the way it rolled out, had bursts of tedium and I suspected they might grow and get worse. They did, in a way, near the very end, but for me, maybe because I've never read anything else by Caitlin Moran..more

I acknowledge that this novel is not perfectly written--as other reviewers have noted, the POV switches from teenage Johanna to older Johanna looking back were sometimes jarring. But I don't care. I thought this book was hilarious and so entertaining. It was also great to read about a teenage girl who really didn't have it all together, but was smart and eventually able to succeed on her own terms. This isn't a YA book, but I wish I had had it when I was a kid and was spending my time reading th..more
