Trouble is her middle name…. Cleo St. James is everything a girl could hope to be: beautiful, rich, intelligent, and strong. But by the time she's nine years old, she's also alone—ignored by her parents and shunned by her peers. Her only friends are two grown men, and the fact that one is a gangster and the other a thief provides enough insight into the forces that shape Cleo into the weird young woman that she becomes. As Cleo grows up (too fast), her criminal tendencies lead her closer and closer to someone from her past--perhaps the only person in the world who truly understands her. With a sailor's vocabulary, a fine set of lock picks, and a few million in the bank, Cleo always gets what she wants. But when it comes to what she needs—a real connection with someone—it pays to have someone who knows her better than she knows herself.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. intelligent and strong…with a sailor’s vocabulary By HEA_Reviews This book was definitely not what I was expecting. The synopsis describes a story following Cleo, who is “beautiful, rich, intelligent, and strong…with a sailor’s vocabulary, a fine set of lock picks, and a few million in the bank, Cleo always gets what she wants”. TBH, I think I read this book because it was recommended. If it was just based on the synopsis, I probably would have passed. However, this book is much more interesting and has more depth than what could have imagined.Cleo grew up with neglectful parents, simply because they are in their own intellectual world and forget that they have a child. Instead of protecting her by picking her up when she falls, they try protect her by teaching her observational methods so that she’ll observe something before she has a chance to trip over it. In a way, while they neglect her, they teach her to neglect the world around her by being focused on observing rather than participating — everything becomes a social experiment. Her childhood leads up to her being too intelligent, without any social/interpersonal awareness, making her “weird”.The weirdness is not only her – A lot of this book is weird (get it? right?)- she finds herself in nonsensical situations and reacts to it in pretty strange ways but I think that’s what makes it fun. Yet, her reactions are exactly what you expect from her. Put a curious, too-intelligent girl in strange situations and see her come out on top.You also see this deep seated need to connect to someone. Where her parents had each other, Cleo had no one. So it’s no surprise when she makes connections with totally inappropriate people, and also hunts down a person from her past who she does have a connection to.Half of the book takes place while Cleo is still in high school. However, although it’s set in a high school and she’s young, the character is so mature and the situations she faces are a little older so you’re not reading high school drivel of “OMG! He’s soooo cute!! :P ;)”.I thought it would be creepy when the reader is introduced to Jackson, while he’s a grown adult and she’s 10, and you realize, oh dear, they’re going to get together. Even more irksome is that he knows how intelligent she is and uses her as a pawn in his game – he grows fond of her (not in a creepy way) but almost a “I feel bad I’m using you so I’ll be nice and friendly so I don’t feel as bad” while you ultimately wonder if he views her as just a tool for his ultimate goal. This sort of attitude toward her made me feel a lot less creepy about the situation. So he disappears when he finally achieves his goal (thanks to her) and doesn’t reappear until she’s an adult and it’s because she’s looking for him. The romance doesn’t factor in until much much later in the story (because, um, age) and even then, when it starts creeping in and things begin changing – I still felt like he was hesitating and thought “Oh boy, just give in”.I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend it. Not much romance until really the last 10% of the story – but I loved this heroine and her quirks. I kept thinking, this author must have a degree in psychology. Then, I find out, her next book is about a psychologist! I felt validated when I saw that one.On a side note: What got me chuckling was that Mae McCall (author) introduced a high school nemesis named Mae. Wonder what was going through the author’s mind there.

Must Read By TS Oh my gosh Weird Girl was incredibly brilliant from beginning to the end it keeps you so entranced you'll be surprised and sad when you get to the end it will make you laugh, cry and just have people looking at you like your a loon so definitely read Weird Girl inside away from people(my family already knows I'm a loon).Anyhow you should definitely read Weird Girl by Mae McCall she did a wonderful job and I can't wait to read more books by her because this one was so good

A storyline completely different from anything you have ever read. The dialogue is very modern and impulsive, just like the central characters. Why isn't this book on the NY Times list?
