Another great book to listen to. This one picks up where the previous book left off with Jess just starting to date Fred while her mom has planned a whole summer vacation for Jess and her grandmother. Jess does finally find out why her parents separated and is actually very okay with what happened.
While there were some funny parts, it wasn't as funny to me as the first one. But the narrator was awesome.

This one wasn't as funny as the first. However, I am glad to see Jess can actually tell the truth instead of absurd lie after lie. I don't think I will read anymore by this author. The narrator, Katherine Kellgren, is still fabulous.

I don' t like Madeliene very much she's selfish and barely pays any attention to her daughter. Is it that Sue Limb wanted us to believe that she was only this horrible because her ex-husband was gay? I do feel for Madeliene though Tom only married her to chase the gay away-selfish if you asked me? Now she's left to rebuild her confidence while Phil butters up Tom by telling him it's not his fault. It is his fault. Poor Jess though it's no wonder that her self confidence is friends with the earth's inner core.

Warning: this book will result in side-splittage and strange looks on the bus.
Completely, gloriously original. Laugh-out-loud funny on every page. The characters are wonderfully witty and unique. Love this series.

This had me giggling, smacking my gob and crying over the absence of a Fred in my life. Totally melted my otherwise frozen heart. Ugh.

Girl, Nearly 16: Absolute Torture lived up to its title. It was a torture to read.
Jess who had a new boyfriend, Fred, had to go on a road trip with her Mom instead of spending the summer with him. Now Jess was livid and she complained and complained about it. Mind you, this was 216 pages of complaining from a teenage girl. Occasionally Jess would make some crack up jokes like always, relieving me from my anguish.

While Jess's freakouts were more ridiculous than ever, this was good fun.
