From boyfriend troubles to overbearing parents to crazy teachers, Gert is in every way your average teenage girl trying to survive her high school years. With her friends by her side, Gert takes on the world like only she could.

Seven Kinds of Ordinary Catastrophes, by Amber Kizer, was honestly one of the funniest young adult books I've ever read. I was literally laughing out loud constantly! It was well written, engaging, and overall a great read! It was also refreshing to read a book for teens in which the whole plot did not revolve around a love triangle, since that seems to be very popular right now. I would recommend this book to teenage girls looking for a good, funny book, and I would give it an 8/10.
