Her parents were just really clever, that's all!
After reading it, the first book that I thought of that kind of had the same feel was Snowcrash, and... well... Hiro Protagonist. Didn't even notice it until now.
Lol that's the main reason I want to read it. My name is April, and my name was almost April March because my mom hadn't changed her last name from her ex-husband's yet. (Stephen March, an author, btw.) She took my dad's name, so I was saved that, but she always liked to joke that she could have named me April May March.
Just bailed after a hundred pages. Could not stand this book. What a dumb premise.
Is there any other reasons you don't want to read the book besides the main character having a silly name? Just askin.

Oh ok just asking. Humor can be a weird thing these days
I went to university with someone named April March
Yep. And the way her character is written pretty much mirrors the pretentious, silly tone of her name, honestly.
I liked that the book had a silly, non-serious vibe to it honestly. I mean, somebody was turned to grape jelly. I don't think the whole book was meant to be taken seriously. I liked that the ridiculousness of the whole thing made me laugh at times.
I do agree that the name is not at all imaginative. It could not have been more plain.
