Girl, 15, Charming but Insane

Reader reviewed by Ruby



Of course by the title, you think your gonna be reading about a lunatic running in the streets doing something really, well yes insane. But no it isn't, it's about a girl, how she handles her problems, good or bad, you could say! Of course, it starts off different.

Why of course who would not go to the best party of the school year?? Of course you going to go!! She goes to this function, but of course she wants to make her chest bigger so, she decides to make soup and put it in so-called water ballons. When dancing, of course the soup will..you could imagne right? So of course it's a one way ticket to the bathroom for her! She fixes herself and talkes to her chest, and complains why they arn't bigger. After the party is over, and the next day creeps by, one of the guys who was hosting the party decided to put a video camera in the ladies washroom. Well of course she is fresking out, she knows she gonna be called a freak talking to her chest!!

What will happen next?? Will she survive the "making fun of" in the hallway part?

This book stands out for having a more realistic tone than many YA books on the market. Jess is easy to identify with unlike the Gossip Girl characters or the Clique ones. Also, her parents are very realistic with the funny and well-written feminist mother and the immature father who isn't exactly someone she can count on.

The most painful part of the book (funny yes, gut-wrenching, oh yeah) is the bathroom scene where there's a camera in there while she's topless. I was dying for her! It does get resolved, but I was literally sweating as I read.

The relationships with boys in the book are also very realistic-the one you fantasize about and get a chance with, but nothing happens and the friend who suddenly wants to be more even though you still see him as a buddy.

This is a fun read that takes you into the home and puts you right into the story.
