Summary: Entertaining and interesting
Review: I came across this book whilst looking for something along the lines of Normal Girl by Molly Jong-Fast. I am so glad that I did!! Jessica "Notso" Darling represents most of the girls that I knew while trudging through high school. Not pretty, not ugly, not popular, not a geek. The situations that this girl works her way into are absolutlely hilarious! Her love/hate relationship with "Bruiser" and "Lend-a-Hand-a-Manda" as well as a few equally vain and silly girls remeinds me exactly of high school. I cannot wait for the next Jessica Darling book to find out what happens with Marcus "Krispy Kreme" Flutie. I truly believe that anyone who reads this book will thoroughly enjoy it, and in some small way be able to identify with Jessica.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Soppy Firsts
Review: I loved this book! It didn't take me very long to finish it. I could definately relate to everything Jessica was thinking and feeling. It doesn't even seem like an adult wrote this book because she knew exeactly how we teens feel. A great book by a wonderful author. I totaly reccommend it!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST BOOK EVER
Review: Note: this review has 1 spoiler that might ruin the story for you, so if you don't want to find out the surprise, skip that part about Paul Parlpiano
This is one of the best books I have ever read!!! It's so realistic that I could swear that Jessica is living my life. Down to weird details to like the kid who sits in front of me in French likes me and I've had a "Paul Parlpiano" situation. ([spoiler]) It's a really really great book and everyone should read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Race to Finish
Review: I found myself racing through this book just to find out what happens. After I finished it I was giddy, excited, and ready for a sequal. PLEASE LET THERE BE A SEQUAL!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read...
Review: I give this book two thumbs up, (I'd give more if I had more thumbs) it was buy far one of the best books that I have read this year. I am a 25 year old mom of a 10 month old, so you might think that I would have a hard time relating to this story, but I didn't. The story, from the first page was grabbing. I had a hard time putting it down. I started it when my son went to bed at 7:30 and finished it at 11:30, it was that good.

Here's my beef though...okay, so I know it has been a while since I have been in high school, but since the 7 years that I have been there, have all the kids turned into Dawson Creek clones? J

essica, the main character, is this awsome high school student that cool chick we all wanted to be in high school. Jess and her best friend were set to conquer the cliques, until Hope moves away. Now Jess has to put up with high school, her love life (which is quite tormented), track and her sister's wedding and mysterious guy all by herself...can she cope? Of course, but not without insomnia and a missing period.

I loved this book and the story aside from the Dawson's Creek [stuff]. I wouldn't like my 13 year old niece read it, but I would say that anyone from the age of 15 and on should...it is great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You HAVE to read this book!
Review: When I picked up this book, I wasn't sure what I was going to think but after the first page, I was hooked! I spent hours and HOURS reading. I couldn't pull myself away. The characters in this book relate incredibly to the things that go on in the life of a highschooler. It was strange because I felt like I knew the people! My heart would start beating faster and faster as though I were experiencing the situations right along with Jessica. I miss reading the book and sometimes wonder what they're doing right now and...BOOM! AMANDA, they're not real people!! haha

You all should definitely pick up this book. It was a great read and I'm patiently waiting (yea right! haha) for Megan McCafferty's next book to come out. Okay...I can't wait!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I couldn't put it down
Review: This is the type of book that makes you sad when you realize that it will soon be over. I LOVED this book. It was fun and easy to read, and the main character was very witty and interesting. While it might seem to be a "light" read as the other reviews implied, the main character also dicusses many interesting thoughts that you might never think about otherwise. And practically all women & girls can at least relate to and maybe even make sense of their own lives through the words of our entrancing narrator.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Teen angst at its best...
Review: Megan McCafferty's first novel, *Sloppy Firsts*, takes readers back to those angst-ridden days of high school when one wrong move can determine your status of popularity. I had so much fun reading the novel, I've already loaned my copy to my friends at work and told all my on-line buddies to grab a copy.

Jessica Darling, not so aptly named, shows us a year in the life of a teenage nightmare. Her best friend, Hope, has moved away, leaving Jessica to brave high school with the rest of her friends, with whom she's not really that crazy about to begin with. Her ex-boyfriend, Scotty, still follows her around like a puppy dog, even though they dated three years ago and only for eleven days in the first place. And the dreg of society, Marcus "Krispy Kreme" Flutie, has chosen Jessica to bear the brunt of his mental games.

I haven't read another book this year that made me laugh and groan in sympathy as much as *Sloppy Firsts*. This is definitely a keeper!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious
Review: This book couldn't be better if you tried. Jessica Darling is your normal 16 year old with your not so normal life. Her parents could care less about her, from her mother who never shuts up about her sister Bethany's wedding, to her father who only pays attention to her when he thinks she's going to be a track star.

Things only get worse when Jessica's best friend Hope moves away, and with that goes her period. Jessica tries to replace Hope with the "Clueless Crew" whom consist of a bunch of backstabbing, sex-crazed, cheerleaders.

Through diary entries, letters to Hope, and editorials for her school's newspaper you learn everything about her. From no action in the boyfriend department, and no one to tell her opinions and deep dark secrets to.

This is a great book for any fans of "The Princess Diaries" or "Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging." But reader beware this book does contain bad language and a lot of referrals to sex.
