Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Natalie

The sequel to Sloppy Firsts takes place during Jessica Darling's senior year of high school. She spends part of her summer at writing camp trying not to think of Marcus Flutie, an ex druggie turned genius, who broke her heart last school year. She is learning not to htink about Marcus by dating Len Levy, geeky genius turned rockstar hott, applying to colleges, and learning to deal with yet another school year without her best friend Hope. The novel takes the form of Jessica's diary, so we are privy to her innermost thoughts--many of which concern Marcus--an obsession that has followed her around since we last saw Jessica in Sloppy Firsts. Jessica is a great narrator--funny, sarcastic, poignant, heartbreaking, and even at times infuriating. She is honest about everything which makes you laugh out loud!
