Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kelly

After Jessica's best friend Hope Weaver moves away with her family, Jessica really has no one to turn to anymore.
" My parents suck ass. Banning me from the phone and restricting my computer privileges are the most tyrannical parental gestures I can think of. Don't they realize that Hope's the only one who keeps me sane?...I don't see how things could get any worse."

She's forced to deal with boy troubles, her family, and school all by herself, until dun dun dun she meets Marcus Flutie. Marcus is the bad boy in school, and always gets into trouble. Jessica is captivated by him, and thus their relationship begins. I love Jessica's sarcastic attitude about every little thing even her dad who is an obsessive track enthusiast, and forces her to run early every morning. Her dad calls her most unfortunate track experience the Jessica "not so" darling series(which is an ironic pun from her name Jessica Darling), and she wants nothing but to run away from it all. This book is about how she gets through her first year alone, oh and she's a chronic insomniac who loves cap'n crunch. What's not to love!

Megan Mccafferty has always held a special place in my heart. I've always loved the Jessica Darling series, and consider it to be what got me back into reading. I think why I like her so much is because she is so involved with her audience. She tours everywhere, she's on facebook, and twitter of course, and she even has a blog of some of her old journal entries as a child. I really like that about Authors, as it makes it easier I'd like to talk to them, about their books, and get updates.

This books is so much more then the typical love story boy meets girl. Their are so many twists and turns, that make you want more. The best part is that after you read this one there are 4 more books to read in the series!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a heart warming but most of all hilarious story.
