One of the smartest teen books I've read in a long time. Very witty, very precise. I like Jessica Darling.

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.

When her best friend, Hope Weaver, moves away, sixteen-year-old Jessica Darling is left with a group of friends she oesn't really like. She deals with normal teenage angst--fake friends, her dad’s obsession with her track meets, her mother's obsession with her older sister's wedding, and her lack of a boyfirend. At times moving and hilarious, this brought me right back to high school and reminded me why I'm so glad it's over. I love Jessica's witty way of describing her life. The "summer of skankitude" just can't be beat.

Wow. Hard to believe this is a YA book. It's definitely aimed at the oldest YAs and it's not one I'd keep in my middle school class library. It's a funny book, but the main character isn't that believable. She's just way too wise. It's very explicit and I would really want to have a frank discussion with any of my students who reads it. I would steer readers towards Deb Caletti or Sarah Dessen instead.

Love this character, she really reminds me of one of my best friends. Truly good writing - close enough to give you a true glimpse of someone's soul, far enough that you can form your own opinion.
