Second Helpings By Megan McCafferty

#2 of the Jessica Darling Series

Jessica's back and it's senior year!!   You know what that means... College choice time!!!   After visiting NYC she has this giant epiphany, realizing Columbia is the place for her... and then 9/11 happens and it's back to the drawing board.
School starts and she actually may have a crush on someone (other than Marcus!).   It's newly zit-free Len.   Same old Len, but new face!   Could Jessica actually get her first boyfriend since Scotty????
(view spoiler)
What I LOVED:
Grandma Gladdie was awesome in this book!!! She had cute nicknames for people(JD and Tutti Flutti)... she had a new man (Moe), she was just the cutest grandma ever!
Jessica finally realized that Bridget is good enough for her... it's about time she got off her high horse!
Jessica actually got out and socialized more often in this book!!


What was kind of annoying: (**some spoilers**)
She was SO full of herself... in the brainiac sense.   I know that she's "gifted" or whatever you want to call it, but she needs to get over it.   Just because you may do better on the SAT's than someone doesn't mean they are beneath you!   So SNOBBY!
She was sex-obsessed!!   Hard Core.   I seriously thought she was going to sleep with the first guy to give her an opportunity (oops she kind of did).
She should've just got with 'Tutti Flutti' after the damn funeral... how much more did she want? oh yeah she wanted a you. yes. you.

Add it to your To-Read List!!


How I got this book: Library
