Sloppy Firsts: A Novel<\/i> by Megan McCafferty<\/p>\n
Really, despite the claims of the jacket cover saying this book is meant for anyone 15-99, I had no business reading this, except perhaps for the purposes of getting inside the mind of a teenage girl. Because I’ll have one at some point. In about 10 years. By which point I will have forgotten everything about this book, if I haven’t already.<\/p>\n
steakums<\/a>‘ friend sent this and the second in the series (out of four so far), Second Helpings<\/i>. This one chronicles the story of the year in the life of a smart girl growing up in a small, coastal New Jersey town. steakums<\/a>‘ friend got this for her because the both were smart girls growing up in a small, coastal New Jersey town. They spent summers at the boardwalk (though steakums<\/a> claims with pride that she was one of the few who didn’t work there), which is mentioned quite a bit in the book.<\/p>\n So that’s why steakums<\/a> should read it. All I<\/i> can say is I was looking for something that would in no way strain my brain, which this book certainly did not. I was looking for an antidote to the barrage of doom and gloom of the news of the world. There were certainly no large issues to grapple with in this tome.<\/p>\n So, mission accomplished. But, this combined with Cringe<\/i> means that I’m all set for teenage angst for the rest of the year. <\/p>\n Or decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sloppy Firsts: A Novel by Megan McCafferty Really, despite the claims of the jacket cover saying this book is meant for anyone 15-99, I had no business reading this, except perhaps for the purposes of getting inside the mind of … Continue reading
