When my mom gave me the book "Sloppy Firsts" I didnt want to read it, I figured if my mom was recomending it it would be lame. I soon found out that this book was anything but.This book was an hillarious tale of what its like to be alone in high school, hate everone around you, and be totally confused about a guy. This was one of the funniest books I have ever read. It littaraly kept me laughing out loud and begging for more. I was so addicted to this book that I acctually couldn't put it down until it was finished, and then when it was over I was craveing the next book. This book has something in it for every teen girl to relate to.

Such a great book. McCafferty's sense of humor is great. Even though her main character is a high school student, almost anyone can relate to her experiences (or at least remember what they were like).
I'm almost thirty and loved it. The friend that recommended it is in her mid-thirties and I passed the book along to my fifteen year old neighbor. It's a great light read, that most will appreciate.
The next two books are great as well.

From someone who just recently left her teenaged-days, this book was very truthful, and hard to put down once I started reading it. It has true-to-it's age dialogue, and great characters. Jessica Darling, our 16-year old main character is hardly perfect, as her name would suggest. This book takes us through a zany year in her life, and makes it hard not to read the other two books following her. Definitely one of my favorites!

This was a really good book. I enjoyed reading it because I was able to make a lot of connections to it. This book wasn't dull or boring at all it was really interesting and it was a good story to follow. It's easy to relate to this book if you are a teen because this book has really teen drama in it and I never had to force myself to read it, it always was just a really easy book to read and understand. =]

This is a "journalistic" form of a novel, written by it's "owner", 16 year old Jessica Darling, who is coping the new year with the her bestfriend, Hope Weaver, moving away from Pineville, New Jersey, only to be stuck with the Clueless Crew (I'm not kidding), her obsessing about track sports Dad, her mother who's into her sister's wedding, her ex-boyfriend, Scott who either wants to get back to her or just friends, her non existant lover, then none the expected least; there's Marcus "Krispy Kreme" Flutie. To add it up, none of her friends understands her and of course she couldn't stand ay of them but have no choice but bear it all. But in this lot of mess Marcus suddenly came out from the background and actually, much to her messed-up state, talk to her.
Jessica Darling a character any girls could relate to and of course this could be a guide for the boys to venture into the minds of most "sane" girls. Her problems and her thoughts, written in this novel in a "journalistic" form, would make you sit down and just read it through until you're reached the last page. That is how good of a page turner this book is.
Don't let the title and front cover throw you off, like it did me. It's a fun book and a page turner. Jessica would pull you into her thoughts and the plots are easily to.
