A review by ellengoodlett
Fat Hoochie Prom Queen by Nico Medina

5.0

HILARIOUS! The narrator's voice was funny, different, and totally out-there. I loved all of her crazy expressions and the Spanish she mingled into her rants about life/love/dating, etc. Her best friend, who could easily have fallen into the "gay best guy friend" stereotype, was a rounded character of his own, with a personality, a love life, drama of his own... And I loved him for it. The love interest was great too, a real sweetheart. Even the dreaded enemy-running-for-prom-queen managed to avoid becoming the stereotypical hot blond. Turned out she had issues and emotions of her own!
I won't tell you about the ending, because obviously that would spoil, but it was perfect. Fun, uplifting, and it tied all the characters together. I love this book!
