This review was written for LibraryThing Member Giveaways.
A real mixed bag of comedic observations which, although it had a few laugh out loud moments, was mostly uninspiring and bland.

Some of the pieces could easily be developed into longer witty essays but some of the one liners don't hit their mark.

I'm from the UK some some of the more Canadian orientated pieces probably went over my head but some of the bits about Europe struck home.

The prose is well written and easy to read showing that the author is very competent but the material just wasn't really for me.

I'm also a man so probably not the intended target audience

This is an interesting book - I found some parts amusing, but didn't connect with other parts. This mixed reaction doesn't surprise me, it's hard to find comedy that everyone connects with. The book was written well, had a good structure and was formatted well. Each section was nice and short so it was easy to decide how much to read in a session.
Overall, it was alright but I am unlikely to re-read it.

I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Okay, this one was tough to rate. I got a 10% sample on Smashwords, and it was pretty funny so I bought it. Then it went from funny, to awkward, to rather offensive (which is really something, coming from me). Then came the last chapter, about the dogs. I loved that part. So I got my rating by rating the different chapters and then averaging them.

Could an App change the way you see the world or maybe just confirm some of your doubts? Well Rev and Dylan are about to find out.
Starting reading the book I had no idea how things are going to turn out. But must admit I was very impressed with the book. First and foremost the characters are really cool (for their age). They are those type of people I'd like to hang out with. Intelligent, witty and adventurous. I enjoyed their dialogue and insights.
I won't give away the plot as I never do, all I'll say is: this is a very interesting book. The idea of an App that could change your gender (Rev and Dylan had a great debate over this) through a hologram, drew my attention. Rev could test if being a man would bring her more privilege and Dylan could test if being a woman would make him more vulnerable and discriminated.
I loved the issues Jass Richards touched in this book. We live in a world where women's discrimination is still an untackled subject. It was interesting to see how things are being seen once you live in the shoes of the opposite sex and see the world through their eyes.
