Young Adult Romance
"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.
