"If there was ever a TV show called People Who Are Crazy and Need to Have Their Heads Examined, I'd be the very first guest. They'd put me on one of those couches and a guy with a beard and funny accent would ask me questions, and the audience would ooh and aah as they realized this girl was crazy. What else would explain what I had just done?" 
 And I'd be the second guest on this TV show, because apparently I am crazy too. What else would explain why I was postponing this book for so long? 
 But I know the answer to that. I was afraid that it would be too heavy for me with all that family tension and teenage problem the synopsis promised. 
 Boy, was I ever wrong! 
 Yes, this book is filled with slight family tension and teenage issues, but it's the opposite of heavy or depressing. D.J. voice is so goofy and cute that my face hurts from grinning and chuckling all the time. 
 "You're probably laughing reading this, and I guess you have a right to laugh because it is kind of funny" 
 And it totally was. D.J. has very strong views of the world and most of the time these views are hilarious. And for someone who is not very good with talking, she surely has no problem with observing and analyzing. She was so cool that I wanted to be her. I loved how hardworking she was and how for a large, strong, assertive girl playing the masculine sport she is still very much girly in some questions. 
 What I also liked is that thought D.J. understands that her body is far from ideal standard, she still feels very comfortable in it. 
 "I always figured I'd just go in a closet or something to put my gear on. I'd spent all summer around Brian, after all, without him ever even noticing, it seemed like, and any guy who wanted a glimpse of me in a sports bra, well, that's a guy who needs to spend a lot more time online." 
 Girl, you rock! 
 Dairy Queen tells a story of a one quiet farm girl over the course of the summer. But as simple as it sounds, this book is filled with wisdoms, laughter, football references and the touch of a romance. 
 When I'll have children and they will be able to read, I'll for sure make them read Dairy Queen. Even if I'll have to lock them in a basement with nothing but this book *evil laugh*. But let's hope it won't come to this. 
 I can keep gushing about how wonderful this book was, but I hope you already got it. Right now all I want is to finish this review as fast as possible so that I could start the next book in this series.
