Myra is an admirable young woman how is responsible of her younger brothers while her parents overwork themselves, and a pregnant yet unmarried sister who moves back home. If she isn't there then maybe everything and everyone would fall apart. When her boyfriend breaks up with her, Myra finds herself doing things she'd never expect herself to do such as quitting her job, applying for a scholarship to study birds in the Galapagos and falling for a guy who is five years older than her who yet enco...more

Myra is the good girl that takes care of everyone else. She sees it in herself and sometimes knows that she is being a "doormat," but she can't seem to stop. It's in her nature. In the small town of Landon, UT, near the Great Salt Lake, not much changes and Myra is starting to feel....trapped. Her boyfriend just broke up with her, and her cranky pregnant sister is moving back in. To get some peace and quiet, Myra moves herself to the unfinished basement and sleeps in a sleeping bag.

It is about this girl named Myra. She has a lot of family troubles, and is struggling with her break up with her boyfriend. Right now I am reading about the apart where Myra just broke up wit her nineteen month relationship boyfriend Erik. I was surprised to read, that after he brok up with Myra, he started acting like a real jerk. For example, he started making Myra jealous with a bunch of other girls, and start harrassing her in class. This makes me feel sympathy for Myra, because she never intended to break up with Erik.
As I was reading along, I found out that Myra has a lot of relationship and rituals with her family. She has two hard working parents, four littler brothers, and a pregnant older sister. Every single day, she has to pick up her brothers from school and drive them to soccer practice, then cook dinner for the whole family, and then take care of her sister. She also has to create a proposal to go to Galapogos Islands and raise a thousand dollars with a minimum wage job! So it sounds to me, that Myra has a lot on her plate. I can relate to this, even though I don't have any brothers. I have to pick up after my sister all the time because she makes a lot of messes, (older sister haha) and I also have tons of homework to do every night after school. Not to mention all my chores around the house that I have to do.
Myra talks a lot about creating a proposal to do on Galapogos Islands. She didn't know what to do her topic on about so she decided to do it on the cormorants. The cormorants are a type of species found on the Islands that only come out at a certain time in the year. They are a flightless bird. The student at the University of Utah came down to Myra's school to help them all find a topic to do for their proposal. Even though Pete is five years older than Myra, he has shown some affection towards her which is making Erik jealous. Not to mention, Myra's job is at a boating dock where she has to keep the office organized, and Pete also works there.
I predict that Pete might fall in love with Myra, and Erik will get really angry at her and try to beat her from going to Galapogos Islands because only two winners can go.
I am really enjoying the book "GIrls Don't Fly" and can't wait to see what happens next!

I randomly picked this one up as a quick lunch break read, and it turned to be one of the best realistic teen books that I've read in a long time. I loved the Utah setting, the main character and her big family (I am drawn to books where a character has a big family -- must be why Mallory was my favorite member of the Babysitters Club), and the more complex parts of the setting -- that Myra and her family are non-religious in a very religious town, and the judgement she receives at school becaus...more

She has some rather disturbing OCD traits that I think someone should tell her to seek psychological help for. She is a doormat, and yet not a fatalistic doormat.

Myra was a really interesting character. She obviously has self-esteem issues brought on partially by her relationship with Erik and partially from her family's dependence on her. She has some rather disturbing OCD traits that I think someone should tell her to seek psychological help for. She is a doormat, and yet not a fatalistic doormat. She doesn't whine a lot about it, I think she truly does things for others out of the goodness of her heart which is rather endearing. Her family interactions rang true, and even at the end there were still issues that needed to be worked out. Everything wasn't wrapped up in a pretty bow which I appreciated. The themes of self-actualization and evolution were handled really well. Not too over the top and yet they weren't dropped half-way through.

I thought that it was interesting that this is set in Utah, and that Myra's family is Mormon. I have to admit that I inwardly groaned as I thought that there would be a ton of Mormon-esque values being stuffed down my throat a la Stephenie Meyers. But to my absolute delight Ms. Chandler uses her knowledge of the area and the culture to create a more realistic and engaging setting. Awesome, it really made me feel like this was a well crafted story as opposed to a literary vehicle for religious values. Which I appreciate.

So generally a strong book, great main character and interesting setting. But there were some rather major hiccups that game me some strong reservations as to whether this was a good book. One of which is the romance. Myra is dumped and as a part of her healing process starts liking Pete, the grad student who is mentoring the applicants for the Galapagos research. He is at least 23 and she's not yet 18. Gross. Seriously gross. And why does she need to have a romantic interest in anyone? Why couldn't she come to realize her self-worth by herself? Her boyfriend seemed like a subtle emotional abuser (Myra does come to realize this and tells him off which was super gratifying) and I was therefore a bit confused when she then wanted to commit to a relationship to someone at least five years older than her. Especially when Pete's the one to encourage her to do things for herself and her own improvement. I don't know, it seemed kinda conflicting.

I also did not like most of the secondary characters. Her family seemed to be rather unsupportive, except for Carson, and too focused on their own individual problems to be true. They all seemed a bit one-dimensional next to Myra's three-dimensional quirky personality. Erik was psychotic. Pete seemed a little condescending and weird. The other applicants were forgettable. I did like Ranger Bobbie, Myra's boss at the Marina, but she was not really present a lot.

The last thing I had issues with was the plot. It seemed a bit all over the place. There was almost too much going on. There was almost more focus on Myra's job at the marina vs. her research for her scholarship proposal. And what is she going to do with this? I mean, prior to her sudden interest in biology she was planning on being a dental hygienist. So she goes off to the Galapagos Islands for two months and then comes back to what? Dental school? What's the point? I also found the whole setup of Myra's research of birds tying in with her own evolution to be rather poorly down. Mostly because I thought the research for her proposal to be a non-issue. They tried to go for it, with chapter titles of bird vocabulary but it just wasn't a strong enough plot to really carry through.

I'm torn. I liked Myra, liked the setting, liked the themes, did not love the plot, hated most of the secondary characters, and hated the romance storyline. I also feel like this was a rather choppy review. I had a hard time explaining myself and my response to this book. I felt conflicted about it, and I think you can tell from the review. I guess we have to leave it with it was OK. Some parts were good, but there were some serious issues. (less)

Steady on her feet and ready to fly.

Girls don’t fly was a refreshing read after reading many other tales related to highschool and growing up. Myra's character was written so well that at times I would find myself yelling at her to not be a doormat. I would get so frustrated at her not being able to be selfish, atleast a little.

It's not bad to be selfless and to help other people. But it does become a problem when you allow people to walk all over you and use you.

The main character, Myra was very relatable and not just because I'm the same age as her (roughly). She just has many of the good features and is open enough with her story for me to feel comfortable reading her view on things, which is nice. She is also insecure and shy and so caught up in making people happy that she forgets about herself, and I found myself empathising with her greatly about many t...more

As was true with Wolves, Boys, and Other Things that Will Kill Me, Chandler's setting is integral to the novel in interesting ways.

I loved the book. The story line was interesting and had a few bumps along the way, propelling the action. There are only a few problems that I found. First, the setting. It's set in Utah--home of the Mormons. Even in high school, the majority of the students and teachers are LDS and none of her characters seemed as if they were. It made the setting a little unbelievable. Second, Myra was slowing changing towards the end of the book, but she was doing things I found that her character wouldn't r...more

I REALLY enjoyed this book, and for two main reasons. First, the main story arc is really just about the main character, Myra, learning to NOT be a doormat. At first everyone-- especially her family and her boyfriend-- walks all over her, but by the end she's finally learning to stand up for herself, and consequently, she is also learning just what all she is capable. The feminist in me LOVED that. The other aspect of the book that I really liked was the fact that her boyfriend (who breaks up wi...more

It seemed ok, but it didn't catch my attention enough for me to pick it up and read. I was perusing the new releases at the library. I saw a copy of this, thought what the hell, and grabbed one. After finishing the story, I'm glad I picked this up. I loved the main character Myra and this is a good book if you realistic teen fiction. Everything that happened felt real to me. It covered many topics from pregnancy, high school life, break-ups, to family issues. The one thing that bothered me was all the focus on birds. While I understand why it was included in the story, it did get a little overwhelming at times. I will say though that I liked the emphasis on the scholarship trip to the Galapagos Islands. The book didn't take place in that area, but I thought the islands were described very well. Birds aside, I loved the descriptions of all the strange creatures inhabiting the place. The author had me wanting to hop on a plane and head on down there.

Myra was amazing. I just loved her so freaking much. The girl is just super nice and can't help but want to give her a hug and be her best friend. Myra wasn't the overly aggressive and stubborn heroine of most books. She had more of a quiet sort of personality, but she wasn't boring at all. I felt terrible for her throughout the book. Her family life was chaotic to say the least. The poor girl seemed to have the weight of the world on her shoulders. I get why her parents put responsibility on her because god knows it can't be easy raising six kids. However, I felt like they were putting too much pressure on her. Myra is a doormat, she says so herself and it's obvious that she has heart, but the girl is incapable of saying no. Everyone was always expecting things of her and it got to the point where she was living her life for other people instead of for herself. Her life was kind of really crappy, but she never gave up and trudged through all the downs she faced. Not once did Myra ever verge into complaining overload. She wasn't one of those main characters who lay around crying and having pity parties for themselves. It was nice to watch her grow over the course of the book, grow a backbone and realize that sometimes she has to put herself first.

As for Myra's ex Erik, oh my god, I can't recall ever hating anyone as much as him. He's a terrible excuse for a human being. Now that I've read the book, I'm glad he dumped Myra because she deserves way better than the piece of scum he is. Erik always seemed to be cutting her down and making snide comments. All the people in the town pretty much think he's a golden boy. He manages to trick everyone with that charming facade of his, so no one realizes what a spoiled, selfish guy he is. He seemed fairly decent at the beginning of the book and I had no hard feelings towards him. I mean, why stay with someone if it isn't working out? After I read his reasoning for dumping her, I was so pissed and I found myself hoping someone would stab him and throw him in a pit of sharks. I don't what else to say about him without sounding redundant. The guy was a smarmy, creep that was using Myra and I was so freaking glad when she finally stood up to him. When it comes to Pete, I wasn't really into him either, but I was glad that he and Myra got together. I wanted Pete and Myra together, not because I loved Pete, but because she liked him and he made her happy. Pete was a nice guy, though I thought he was a bit weird sometimes and vaguely hippie-like. However, anyone Myra fell for would have seemed amazing compared to the piece of crap that was Erik.(less)
