I LOVED this book, I could not put it down. I felt so close to Katie in this book, like I was her best friend and she was telling it all to me herself. I laughed out loud at some of the things she said in her blogs, I rarely laugh out loud when reading. The passion that Katie feels is what pulls me in the most, she feels with every part of her being even though it seems like she tries to deny that to herself. The ending was perfect to me… I know a lot of people did not agree with the ending but it opens you up to imagine what happened with the rest. I finished the book last night and all I can think about is what happened, where is she, was this planned, how do I want her story to end.

Well after reading most of the reviews I guess, you (Allison Burnett) obviously know that most of your readers are upset about the ending of this amazing novel. I’d have to say that although it was bitter end, it was quite an adequate touch! It’s like a fish that got away. You put bait out for your readers, we accepted and we continued reading not knowing what to expect; we get hooked. Then you catch us with this amazing ending!
I’m glad I got to finally finish reading your book! I had bought it december 2009 just before starting my actual college semester which was perfect =) I am definitely recommending your book!
Please keep writing!

I finished this book in three days. If I didn’t have to go to school I probably would have finished it in one! I thought it was extremely good; humourous, dark, cynical, serious and just plain crazy all at the same time. I just really wish the book had some closure. It frustrated me sooooo much that it ended the way it did. I don’t really understand why the author would end it that way. It seems very arbitrary and kind of pointless as well. A great read overall but wouldn’t bother with it again.

I read this book in two days. I could have finished it in one day, but I had to work part of the first day so I didn’t have time to read. I really like this book. I say like and not love because I dont plan on reading it again.
***SPOILER ALERT***
The ending seemed like Allison got bored or something came up so he just killed her off. No pun intended. The whole book is intense, passionate, sexual and a little bit unreal with the way she portrays Katie. I’d recommend this book, but I wouldn’t suggest reading it more than once.

ok. This was an amazing book! UNTIL the end. It just left me pissed off and curious. i really wish the author would have said what actually happened. I loved Katie (or Amy) through the entire thing. Its like she was so real. I really just need a more definite anding for me not be pissed. It was just like “BAM…I’m over now”. But whatever. To each his own i guess.

I just finished reading the book. A friend recommended it to me, and I actually finished the book in an entire day. While reading the book, I was extremly interested and could not put the book down…… but then I got to the ending. The ending of this book was so out of left field. It did not fit in with the rest of the book or go along with the storylne, what so ever. I felt as though Allison Burnett just got lazy and wanted to end the book as fast as possible. It made absolutely no sense to me and now I feel like I have wasted a perfect summer day. If they do make this into a movie, I desperately hope for some closure. I absolutely hate when writers do this, FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!!!

It is funny how ignorance and arrogance are so tightly wound. The ending left me sad, almost depressed because the truth is there are more Katie/Amy’s in this world than most care to know. So we will never know.

I found Undiscovered Gyrl to be fascinating, and allowed the reader to see into the mind of this complex, beautiful, very troubled little girl/young woman.
Some of her actions are more mature than her young age and some are so immature you understand why she is acting or doing what she is though.
As far as the ending, leaves too many questions for the reader, causing me to come to these sites and gain perspective on what may actually have happened. No one has enlightened me.

I too could not put this book down once I started reading it. I hate it when books do that to you… The ending botheted me. I don’t care if it wasn’t a happy one, I just wish it was a more definite one. I can’t stop thinking about it.

I got this book a couple months ago and i finally got the time to actually sit down and read it like i have been planning. I spent my last couple days of spring break reading and not wanting to put the book down at all. I loved it! I can relate so much with the character and i got chills whenever she went through a new “adventure.” I have never completed an actual book in my life and for some reason i had to finish this one! I was so excited to see what would happen in her “new life” but the ending killed it for me! I am dying to know what happens to “Katie” or “Amy.” Overall good book! I have recommended it to my besties already!
