Trixie Watson has two very important goals for senior year: to finally save enough to buy the set of Doctor Who figurines at the local comic books store, and to place third in her class and knock Ben West-and his horrendous new mustache that he spent all summer growing-down to number four.
Prepare yourselves.Named One of the 16 Best Young Adult Books of 2016 (So Far) by Paste Magazine! Below you will find my reactions throughout reading. A retelling full of pop culture references like mentions of Doctor Who and Supernatural (hell yea), The Only Thing Worse Than Me Is You is a hilarious, original rendition of a favored classic that is well worth your time.īecause I honestly don’t know how to describe this beyond it being amazeballs, I leave you with yet another string of gifs because I find them freaken hilarious. It is a Young Adult retelling of “Much Ado About Nothing”, which is my absolute favorite play of Shakespeare’s. When Trixie’s best friend gets expelled for cheating and Trixie cries foul play, however, they have to choose who to believe and which side they’re on–and they might not pick the same side. Finding common ground is odious and tooth-pullingly-painful, but Trixie and Ben’s cautious truce slowly transforms into a fandom-based tentative friendship. The war is Trixie’s for the winning, until her best friend starts dating Ben’s best friend and the two are unceremoniously dumped together and told to play nice. Over a decade later, it’s time to declare a champion once and for all. Alliance combined, and it goes all the way back to the infamous monkey bars incident in the first grade. Trixie will do anything to get her name ranked over Ben’s, including give up sleep and comic books–well, maybe not comic books–but definitely sleep.

And then I’ll rip off my cap and gown, revealing a red leather jacket and black skinny jeans and moonwalk all the way home.” I’ll get a cake shaped like a four and shove it in Ben West’s stupid hairy face after he walks across the stage at graduation.
So yeah, I’ll settle for being number three. “Well, I can’t beat Harper and her future husband without giving up sleeping and eating and comics.
