Reviews for Sloppy Firsts
Reviewed by Amanda Dissinger for TeensReadToo.com
Ever get the feeling you're trapped in your current life, and won't be able to get out for, oh, all of eternity? Are you bored with your so-called "friends," bored with your so-called good grades, bored with your so-called life? Then you'll identify with SLOPPY FIRSTS, the witty, moving debut novel from author Megan McCafferty.
SLOPPY FIRSTS is the story of 16-year-old Jessica Darling, a girl who feels completely out of sync with everyone around her with the exception of her best friend, Hope. When Hope suddenly moves out of their Pineville, New Jersey, hometown, Jess feels even more depressed than ever now that she is forced to deal with all of the people in her life that annoy her without her best friend. Faced with vapid, materialistic girls at her high school, her dad's desire to make her the best track star that ever lived, and her new desire to be with the school's resident pseudo- intellectual bad boy, Marcus Flutie, Jessica records all of her hilarious, rambling thoughts in her journal for all readers to see.
SLOPPY FIRSTS is a creative and honest book about what normal teenagers experience in their day-to-day lives. It will please not only young readers, but also adult women who want to relive those cringe-worthy high school years, and look back on the memories. It's heartbreaking, fresh, and sure to become a classic among readers who like a little angst in their lives.
*Gold Star Award Winner! by TeensReadTooTruthfully?
I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this book. It's not my usual thing but I felt in the mood for a simple chick-lit series to read so I made the decision to get this book.
Damn! I think I finished it around about 5am? I warmed to Jessica and she's one of the few female leads that I don't dislike.
Marcus. What can I say about him? Interesting. He was a character who intrigued me throughout the book.
It's a good book to read if you want to laugh and just escape for a few hours.
I've already ordered the next two books. by Vicky
