Synopsis
Reviews
Ziggy is not the typical teenager who wants to be the most popular girl at school or who dreams of being the girlfriend of a boy older than her. She is sure that life is something more than meeting the expectations of others. Practically isolated and without friends, she takes refuge in her readings, believing that she finds in the Cyborg Manifesto the answer she is desperately looking for; even if it means facing her parents, her grandmother, a controversial Hindu guru, the evil group of "cute" girls in her school and a series of misunderstandings that could lead her to make hasty decisions. Then she will meet Tim, a boy as misunderstood as her with whom she will plot a crazy plan to teach a lesson to all those who have humiliated her. On her way to meet, Ziggy will question her identity and discover that it is not in the books or in the others, but in herself, to decide who she wants to be. "Lexi Freiman is a wild, funny and brilliant writer, and in Misfit she has reinvented the typical story about the passage from childhood to adulthood, approaching it with irreverence and acid humor. It is a bold book that reflects our time in a vibrant way," Emma Cline, author of Las chicas. "A daring and exciting journey to come of age," Library Journal. How far would you go in order to be yourself?
Ziggy no es la típica adolescente que quiere ser la más popular del colegio o que sueña con ser la novia de un chico mayor que ella. Está segura de que la vida es algo más que cumplir con las expectativas de los otros. Prácticamente aislada y sin amigos, se refugia en sus lecturas, creyendo encontrar en el Manifiesto Cyborg la respuesta que tanto busca; aunque eso signifique enfrentar a sus padres, su abuela, un polémico gurú hindú, el malévolo grupo de chicas "lindas" de su escuela y una serie de malentendidos que podrían llevarla a tomar decisiones precipitadas. Entonces conocerá a Tim, un chico tan incomprendido como ella con quien tramará un descabellado plan para darles una lección a todos aquellos que la han humillado. En su camino por encontrarse, Ziggy cuestionará su identidad y descubrirá que no está en los libros ni en los otros, sino en ella misma, decidir quién quiere ser. "Lexi Freiman es una escritora salvaje, divertida y brillante, y en Inadaptada ha reinventado la típica historia sobre el paso de la niñez a la edad adulta, abordándolo con irreverencia y humor ácido. Se trata de un libro atrevido que refleja de forma vibrante nuestra época", Emma Cline, autora de Las chicas.
