  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;n.&lt;/I&gt; [kar-r? pil-b?] A person of high intelligence who struggles to make sense of the world as it relates to morality, relationships, sex and leaving her apartment.  &lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;&quot;I wouldn't have such trouble adjusting to the world if the world made sense. Which it doesn't . . . Maybe the world should adjust to me.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;  &lt;P&gt;Carrie Pilby doesn't fit in -- and she's pretty much given up trying. A year out of college and settling in to life in the big city, this nineteen-year-old genius believes everyone she meets is immoral, sex obsessed and hypocritical, and the only person she sees on a regular basis is her therapist. When he comes up with a five-point plan to help her discover the &quot;positive aspects of social interaction,&quot; Carrie, who would rather stay home in bed, is forced to view the world in a new light.  &lt;P&gt;See life through Carrie's eyes as she opens up to unusual characters, gets herself into compromising situations and casts her keen eye on the ways people interact. Filled with wry humor and insight, Carrie &lt;I&gt;Pilby&lt;/I&gt; explores the trade-offs we all make to fit in.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[When I first picked up this book I didn't think I had anything in common with this character a 19 year old genius. But this author shows that no matter what your level intelligence we all go through the same growing pains. It teaches tolerance and growth. This is a good read for even young adults.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I love a chick lit starring a smart girl!  Carrie Pilby, age 19, Harvard graduate, is a quirky girl with a lot of troubles, first of all, securing a decent job.  I love that the story didn't follow quite the line I expected, and again, I enjoyed an intelligent heroine.  Definitely a fun read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really identified with this character.  I would have given it a higher rating but it didn't really have a particular punch at the ending.  I loved that she was the smart girl who never felt like she fit in.  I liked the &quot;great lie,&quot; I think a lot of educated women will identify with this...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked that the main character was smart, but did she have to be so depressing?  It was a pretty dreary book overall, but there were definitely enjoyable parts that gave you lots to think about and I'm glad she came to terms with herself by the end.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved this book...the main character hides behind this dark facade, angry at the world, while focusing on her relationship with 17 magazine subscriptions.  I found the relationship between Carrie and her therapist to be rather endearing...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I found Carrie relatable, as like most, she feels like an outsider. The story focuses more on thoughts than events and I really enjoyed it. ]]></body>
