Summary: Not another teen novel
Review: I expected this to be a so-so book like tons of other teen novels I've read (c'mon - what kind of name is Jessica Darling?), but this novel stands on its own as a good book that all teenage girls will love. Having read many, many books, I found that this one was had a good plot with a relatable, likeable protagonist who was an individual, not like all others. McCafferty does an extremely good job writing this story and expressing the feelings and emotions of a teenage girl. She says things that I think other authors are afraid to make their characters say. This is a great book for all teenage girls to read.

Summary: interesting
Review: I found this book an easy read. It was probably directed at the average teenage reader. I found jessica to be a confused teen who delt with peer pressure, boys, and friends. This book is insiteful and a great laugh. I especially love how she is caught in between a mom who says she needs perspective and a dad who she feels she has nothing in common with. I liked how the author didn't make her most popular or the dorkiest of dorks. And how she is is torn between a lost friend who moved away, a non-caring "clueless crew", and an odd twist which enters the book at the end of sophmore year turning her into an experiment. Although, this book was an excellent read it didn't turn out how I expected it to. So in my opinionthe ending was horrible but my friends liked it...

Summary: Since I grew up with the author, my perspective is unique
Review: Having attended elementary school with the writer of this novel, I was especially curious as to it's content. The story is interesting, even for someone my age (29). And I think I was able to read it from a different perspective....the town and many of the characters are easily identifiable as the town Megan and I grew up in (Bayville, NJ), and the people we went to school with. I wonder if I'm in there somewhere(?) Who knows!

Summary: Nice, sloppy read
Review: Okay. Now, I love to read and read just about everything and enjoy it, but this was a really good book. It didn't get a 5 star rating just because I liked it.
The whole time I was reading this book, I was going, "Omigod!", which happens to be one of the character's favoite phrases. The more I read, the more I realized that Jessica Darling, our heroine, is alot like me.
She gripes about living in the middle of nowhere, she complains about being single. I do these things constantly. There was one part where I freaked out because her mother yelled, "Jessica Lynn! Get out of bed now!" I was just like, "Omigod! Dash sha vu!" It was funny.
If you would like to read something that will be easy to get into and will keep you smiling the whole time, I would strongly recommend this book.

Summary: Sloppy Firsts- Great Book
Review: Sloppy Firsts, by Megan McCafferty is well worth the effort of reading. It centers around Jessica Darling, desolate after her best friend Hope moves away. Left with only the group of friends she and Hope dubbed The Clueless Crew, Jess's outlook on life is none too hopeful. I think Sloppy Firsts is a funny and very honest look at teenage life. I really sympathized w/ Jess, and I felt her embarrassment on more than one occassion. I only gave this book four stars; however because of the multitude of swear words. Other than that, this book is funny, and true to life. Bring on the sequel!

Summary: NOT for young teens
Review: This book was entertaining but it is not for a 13-year-old. It is set in a sexually sophisticated world, where most girls have sex with whatever boy they happen to be dating, and it's not that unusual for one of your pals to be known for her proclivity
toward oral sex, lots of it... There is an entertaining story going on behind all of the sex, though, and I'm sure older teens and some adults will enjoy the book. I found it to be entertaining. I just wasn't expecting it to be quite this sexy. Not that the sex is explicit. It is just there, everywhere. "Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging" has a little less sex in it but enough to fascinate a 13 or 14 year old, I'd say, and it's hysterical. If you are buying a recent book for a younger teen, try that one. (If you're buying a book for an 11 or 12 year old, try "Zazoo" - it's got a great story with just a bit of romance.)
