The book I'm referring to is the one that pubbed just before the pilot. (I'm still in season one.) Also--the social awkwardness thing is being done inconsistently. For example, the explanation we're given for her awkwardness is the disappearance of her parents and the resulting trauma, right? They disappeared when she was fifteen. Up until then, we have no indication that her childhood wasn't normal. (If it's revealed later on that it was, I call too many coincidental special things about her and the show disappears in a puff of paradox.) So why doesn't she get a reference to Clue? That's a childhood boardgame. She went weird at fifteen. She should have perfectly accurate cultural knowledge up until then.

They also keep saying she doesn't get stuff because she doesn't have a tv. The tv that was destroyed in the pilot. So, she had a tv until a few months ago. There are plenty of ways to be socially awkward with a tv, but since she had one until recently, that can't be the reason. Ergo.
