“This book was adorable, even better than the first. First, I was so happy when Jessica finally stood up and quit track because she wanted to and went to Columbia because she wanted to, and not based on parental pressure, (as a sidenote, go Gladdie, for leaving her the money!) Her character really evolved more. I really enjoyed her comparison to the Jessica Darling she is and the 'Jenn Sweet she wants to be, even though she continued to push Marcus away (which got really annoying, I must admit) I was happy to finally, finally see them together, all because of Hope's doing, which was adorable. Len really bothered me. And although Marcus is moving, I have hope (Hope!) that they will pull through, Hope and her still have a friendship, so why couldn't Jessica and Marcus have a relationship? I really liked this one. I can't wait to read the next. ”

“It's the second book for sloppy first and it's just as great as the first book and hopefully the next books will be just as good”

“Better than Sloppy Firsts. It's quite rare for a sequal to be better than the original but here is proof.”

In SLOPPY FIRSTS, Jessica Darling dealt with adjusting to life without her best friend, Hope, having feelings for the school rebel, Marcus, and finding who she really is as a person. You know, typical teenager stuff.
In the sequel to SLOPPY FIRSTS, SECOND HELPINGS, Jess finds herself dealing with even more problems as she starts her senior year of high school. After spending the summer at SPECIAL, a summer writing camp for (you guessed it) special high school students, Jess decides that she wants to 1). become a writer and 2). attend the prestigious Columbia University in New York City.
The only problem is that she now has the tough job of convincing her parents.
With Len Levy, her brilliant competition for Valedictorian, crushing on her, and her determination to get over Marcus with only the help of her blonde Barbie doll neighbor, Bridget, Jess gets more than she bargains for as she struggles to plan her future and rediscover her past.
In my opinion, SECOND HELPINGS is even better than the terrific prequel SLOPPY FIRSTS. Through her shocking and entertaining observations about everything from her high school peers to "hot" writing instructors, readers identify with Jess's plights as she tries to reach her dream of getting out of New Jersey suburbia. Another touching book, another realistic story, another fantastic read from Megan McCafferty.”
