Ilustration Toward Books Sloppy Firsts (Jessica Darling #1)
“My parents suck ass. Banning me from the phone and restricting my computer privileges are the most tyrannical parental gestures I can think of. Don’t they realize that Hope’s the only one who keeps me sane? I don’t see how things could get any worse.”When her best friend, Hope Weaver, moves away from Pineville, New Jersey, hyperobservant sixteen-year-old Jessica Darling is devastated. A fish out of water at school and a stranger at home, Jessica feels more lost than ever now that the only person with whom she could really communicate has gone. How is she supposed to deal with the boy- and shopping-crazy girls at school, her dad’s obsession with her track meets, her mother salivating over big sister Bethany’s lavish wedding, and her nonexistent love life?
A fresh, funny, utterly compelling fiction debut by first-time novelist Megan McCafferty, Sloppy Firsts is an insightful, true-to-life look at Jessica’s predicament as she embarks on another year of teenage torment--from the dark days of Hope’s departure through her months as a type-A personality turned insomniac to her completely mixed-up feelings about Marcus Flutie, the intelligent and mysterious “Dreg” who works his way into her heart. Like a John Hughes for the twenty-first century, Megan McCafferty taps into the inherent humor and drama of the teen experience. This poignant, hilarious novel is sure to appeal to readers who are still going through it, as well as those who are grateful that they don’t have to go back and grow up all over again.

If you havent heard of the Jessica Darling Series before thenwell, youve been living under a rock, thats what. If, however, youre like me and have seen the gushing reviews for this all over the place and somehow never picked it upwell, dont make the same mistake I did of waiting for months before reading this: pick it up now. Seriously, this series is just that good. Its funny, its quirky, and its hilarious, but it is also deep, provocative, compelling, and is most certain to strike a cordThe last 30 or so pages of this book were good, but not good enough to make a big comeback for me. I really wanted to like this book because it was so highly recommended by my nestie friends whose opinions are generally really in line with mine, but I just never fell in love with it. The journal and letter style of storytelling Megan McCafferty used was not my favorite. It made Jessica's story feel realistic, and it had that day in the life feeling, but it also made the pacing really drag. It
This is not a book about teen pregnancy. This is not a book that advocates or condemns teen pregnancy. This is a book about Jessica Darling. Jess is many things a runner, a daughter, an academic, a sister, and a friend but pregnant is certainly not one of them. No sir. In order to be pregnant one would have to engage in sexual intercourse first, and that would require actually snaking the attention of her high school crush Paul Parlipiano. But even though they run on the same track team Paul
Yep. This is potentially the hardest review I've ever written. Why? Because all I really want to do is vigorously pound on my keyboard with glee and happytears and EEEEEEE.

I've found the Holy Grail of YA writing. The kicker? It isn't even YA! And yet it is. It's everything. It's Jessica Darling. I've put off writing my review for Sloppy
Disclaimer: Snark and gifs.Dis book.I'm sitting here looking at the blinking curser trying to sum up my feelings for this trash.Sums up my sarcastic feelings of this novel.Jessica is an annoying main character. So much wangsting. So much judging. I mean this girl hates her friends. So much fucking slut shaming. She also is straight edge all the way, and judges everyone who has sex and does drugs. *hulk smash*Basic Bitch.In Jessica's world feminism = slut. YES!!!Also drugs and sex r bad. mmmkay
Megan McCafferty, you can't fool me. Sloppy Firsts isn't a work of fiction. It's McCafferty traveling back in time and stealing pages from my high school diary -- not the proper one I left behind for my mother and, okay, posterity because I had a heightened sense of self, but the real one I kept locked in my head, full of doubts, fears, hopes, wants, desires, and prejudices. And yes, those desires were sexual even if I was not at the time.This is a book that I absolutely loved reading now and
This was a really funny, feel-good novel reminiscent of novels like Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and other such hilariosity. I'd heard comparisons made between the two before but, I admit, I was reluctant to check it out, being sure that it would be unlikely to entertain me as much as Georgia Nicholson's journals. However, I'd say it's pretty fair to make positive comparisons between the two, it's just unfortunate that I keep reading how most people didn't enjoy the rest of the series
