Jessica Darling's It List
review 1: Jessica Darling's IT List is a about a girl named Jessica who is just starting seventh grade, and her sister Bethany is in collage. Bethany gives Jessica the IT List which has 4 steps that she has to follow in order to have guaranteed popularity, prettiness & perfection. When Jessica starts grade 7 she meets new people, lies , has relationship problems and more. If your into different kind of drama(no mean girls) I highly suggest you read this book, its definitely a page turner and keeps to up at night! - Natasha :)
review 2: I am a die hard Jessica Darling fan and seeing this in the bookstore was a big moment of WTF. How the hell do you present her as an awkward middle schooler? On the one hand, you know she's going to be a giant ball of awkward angst. On the
... moreother hand, how is her cynical, very adult voice going to translate? It seems in the beginning McCafferty has trouble with the second half of that question, but, like Jessica, she manages to work things out as the story goes along. Silly as it sounds, once I realized this meant we got to meet Hope and watch that relationship, one mainly just hinted at in the early books, develop I got really excited. To be honest, the story is more of a watered down vignette, but the intended audience is Tweens, so maybe this is a good introduction for them? Whatever its faults, I enjoyed it for the insight into the relationships I know and love and I couldn't help but squee the moment I knew "a skinny redhead who looked as though he'd used a rabid squirrel for a hairbrush that morning" entered her woodshop class because, you know. Him. Yes, him. less

Love Megan McCafferty big time - here she's writing for a middle grade audience for the first time.
