Review : A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan

Summary (from Goodreads)

Farrah “Digit” Higgins may be going to MIT in the fall, but this L.A. high school genius has left her geek self behind in another school district so she can blend in with the popular crowd at Santa Monica High and actually enjoy her senior year.

But when Farrah, the daughter of a UCLA math professor, unknowingly cracks a terrorist group’s number sequence, her laid-back senior year gets a lot more interesting. Soon she is personally investigating the case, on the run from terrorists, and faking her own kidnapping—all while trying to convince a young, hot FBI agent to take her seriously. So much for blending in...


Personal Thoughts 

A Girl Named Digit was one of my "Waiting On Wednesday" a few weeks ago. What initially attracted me to read the book was the cutesy cover and the interesting premise. Going into the book, I was expecting a light summery read and that's exactly what I got !

Farrah a.k.a Digit, is a Math prodigy. She is so obsessed with Math that she cannot help but find patterns in numbers wherever she goes. One afternoon when watching a TV show along with her friends, she notices a group of numbers appear on the screen and vanish. For the next 3 weeks, she notices it other sets of numbers. Soon after that, a terrorist group bomb the JFK airport and Digit realizes that the numbers she came across on the TV are somehow connected to the bombing. Along with her dad, she goes to inform the FBI, who don't take her seriously. Eventually, she decides to investigate the case herself, but when she finds her herself in the midst of danger, the FBI decide to fake her kidnapping and Digit finds herself with hot FBI hiding from the world.

Farrah was a very likable character. She was not only smart and brainy, she also had a very bubbly personality. You can't help but like her because she oozes happiness. What I liked most about her was how observant she was and she was the kind of character who thought about the consequences before taking any kind of decision. Her inner monologue was so hilarious at times that I found myself laughing uncontrollably. John Bennett, the hot FBI agent who was responsible of taking care of Farrah during her fake kidnapping,had a flirtatious personality. Constantly teasing Digit, he was a pretty swoon-worthy guy. I thought he was very adorable! There was a romance between Farrah and John, but it took them some time to give in to their respective crushes because after all, Farrah was still a minor. They made a cute couple though and I didn't have a huge problem with the 3/4 years age gap that existed between them. Farrah and John understood each other because in a way they were in a very similar  situation. The plot of the book is without any doubt, very silly, but it was one that you could read if you're looking for something light and fluffy. There were numerous hilarious moments throughout the story, but while reading I kept thinking how unbelievable it all was. Nevertheless, I did find myself enjoying the book because it was what I expected and it was quite entertaining. 

At around 180 pages, A Girl Named Digit was definitely a short read, but it was also a fun read perfect for reading during a summer day. With its pleasant characters and cute romance, A Girl Named Digit will delight you!
