Review: The She-Hulk Diaries

The She-Hulk Diaries The She-Hulk Diaries by Marta Acosta
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

#PopsugarReadingChallenge2019
Prompt - A book about someone with a superpower: Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk.

The Carrie Diaries, Sex and the City, and Bridget Jones's Diary meet everyone's favorite 80s Green Girl.

...where it quickly devolves into a horrible mess and fails the Bechdel test epically.

If I hadn't grown up with Jenny, I would have at least liked the book. It is funny in some parts; but I did grow up with Jenny and her She-Hulk persona, so whoever was in this book only shares the name and none of the attributes and characteristics that made them a great character in the first place.

Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...
