Series: Jessica Darling #1
Description
âMy parents suck ass. Banning me from the phone and restricting my computer privileges are the most tyrannical parental gestures I can think of. Donât they realize that Hopeâs the only one who keeps me sane? I donât see how things could get any worse.âWhen 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 dadâs obsession with her track meets, her mother salivating over big sister Bethanyâs 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 Jessicaâs predicament as she embarks on another year of teenage torment--from the dark days of Hopeâs departure through her months as a type-A personality turned insomniac to her completely mixed-up feelings about Marcus Flutie, the intelligent and mysterious âDregâ 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 donât have to go back and grow up all over again.
