I've never read any of Francesca Lia Block's books, so I thought I'd start right at the beginning with Weetzie Bat. It's been on my list forever.Weetzie Bat is a hip young lady who finds her soul mate/best friend in Dirk, the cutest guy in school. They do movies and hang out and are bffs forever. Dirk and Weetzie both want to find someone to love them so they go "duck hunting" together - each hoping to find that one special man who will make them happy.
One day Weetzie actually gets the chance to make sure this happens for both her and Dirk. She makes three wishes and sets their life on an adventure-filled path that they love. They live, love, and go through life's down times, too, but they always stay together and do their best.
I liked this quick, fun little read because it took me away to LA and let me hang out with some fabulous new friends. It's got movies, beauty, palm trees, dancing, music, babies, loving, everything. I liked the style and enjoyed how short and simple it was. Yet, there were still things under the surface to think about. A simple story about love with a colorful cast of characters. I loved this description of what you are to me...this was about Weetzie,
You are my lake full of fishes, you are my sky set, my 'Hollywood in Minature,' my pink Cadillac, my highway, my martini, the stage for my heart to rock and roll on, the screen where my movies light up.
Who doesn't love that? Weetzie Bat was fun and full of love.
