![]() ![]() ![]() Newly single Abigail is entering the dating world for the first time. ![]() Just trust me on this one, reader: it's really, really good.Ī Girl Like You is classic, unapologetic chick-lit-and I love it. Its authentic relationships-from friendships to family to work to love-are incredibly three-dimensional and oh-so-real. Everything I can possibly say about this novel is as typical and bland and familiar and cheesey as its cover and title and synopsis are, but, somehow, the words inside this book are not. While it's meant to be all business for Jane as she helps Ian, known as the art genius of their time, set up exhibits in major cities around the globe, it becomes an adventure in self-discovery and growth unlike any other. ![]() Jane is the all-too-familiar protagonist who finds her boyfriend cheating and, in a state of broken-heart-ed-ness, finds herself traveling the world. Yet, If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend is a light, fun, immensely touching read about life, love, and the ups and downs we all cope with. Even when I finally picked it up, I did so with an immense amount of skepticism. Somehow, the combination of its odd title, simplistic cover, and typical synopsis simply didn't appeal to me. It became a ritual for me to scroll away from If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend. ![]()

The origin of Alexei Luthor is unknown even his nationality is not certain (He was first addressed only as 'Luthor', which is a German surname. The change may also have been the result of confusion with another villain, the Ultra-Humanite, who was originally a bald scientist. Shuster preferred drawing bald villains anyway, and so following approval from Siegel, the more striking appearance was adopted and became a Luthor trademark.
