Sedikit kecewa dengan sensor yang dilakukan penerbit di beberapa bagian buku ini. Terutama karena bagian yang disensor berperan penting dalam ceritanya, sehingga bagian yang disensor menjadi ambigu.

I started reading the Jessica Darling series on holiday and read both Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings back to back. I loved these books so much. Not so much of a quest type story than a chronicling of Jessica Darling over the course of a year after her best friend moves to the other side of the country.

The characters are all lovable and I am sure I'm not alone in wishing I had had my own Marcus Flutie growing up!! I think that everyone will be able to relate to these books in some way as they really are a coming of age book for the normal teenage girl!

Now I can't wait to see what Jecssica's next few years will bring!

God, you just gotta love Jessica Darling. I actually like this book better than the first and really loved that Marcus was present for most of it. Again, great voice, great characterization, nice twists here and there that fit with the dramedy of high school. McCafferty is a gifted story teller when it comes to YA.

Being inside this girl's head makes me crazy. In a fun, frustrating, under-sexed kind of way. Oh, Jessica. Oh, Marcus. Oh, gay man of Jessica's dreams, Paul Parlipiano. At times, the angst was a little much, and started to grate, and at times I wanted to strangle her for how clueless she is when it comes to certain people *cough cough Marcus cough* Also, is it weird that I'm jealous of a fictional character because she scored higher on the SATs than I did? No? Okay, good. Then in that case, I really enjoyed this book. I wish Marcus was real. At least his dreads are MIA in this book!
