Nope, middle school was the height of self-consciousness, with high school a close second.<br /><br />The second one is better, imo. I stopped reading them because my ship was in a good place, and I was not going to watch them go into an on again/off again relationship, because I do not ship couples that do that. Not one bit.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-36672374968896000822013-08-29T09:27:05.432-04:002013-08-29T09:27:05.432-04:00Amy, get with it, girl!Amy, get with it, girl!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-1724073395199426522013-08-29T09:19:40.035-04:002013-08-29T09:19:40.035-04:00Oh, does it?

All I really remember is that she and Bridget had a falling out sometime in middle school, and I definitely remember Manda. She does lack her hard edge, which was probably what made me bond with her to an absurd degree.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-79942119511429778372013-08-28T20:57:09.649-04:002013-08-28T20:57:09.649-04:00Aw, this sounds cute.

I like the idea of doing prequel type books, though they don't always work out well--sounds like she captured the uncomfortable middle school years (is there ever a time when you feel more self-conscious?) well, though! I was kind of just so-so on the first Jessica Darling book (don't hit me!), but I do want to read the second one sometime.<br /><br />But...why did you stop reading them?

It matches so well with what we know happened from the books, but it's so great to actually read it from Jessica's younger self's perspective. I'm curious where this series will end, because at the start of Sloppy Firsts Jessica is angry and bitter and in this MG prequel she is... still notso, but she lacks the edge. I loved seeing Jessica without her cynicism.fakestephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08178042157823156839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555254327067745492.post-7671613112678241852013-08-28T14:02:10.725-04:002013-08-28T14:02:10.725-04:00I didn't really like the third and fourth book...I didn't really like the third and fourth books in the Jessica Darling series, but the fifth was very good. The best one is still Second Helpings, though.<br /><br />Aww, is there really young Marcus Flutie? Must get my hands on this book.
