Jessica Darling's It List: The (Totally Not) Guaranteed Guide to Popularity, Prettiness & Perfection

Product Information

This is a prequel to those books (which begin when she's in high school and follow her through to early adulthood) and our Jess is in middle school. I'm envious of all the young girls who will get a chance to grow up with Jessica from the beginning, but I hope they fall in love with the series the way I did. Fans of the original Jessica Darling series will love this glimpse into pre-teen Jessica's life and mind! I’ve been in plenty of “Gifted” and advanced classes, and they expect more out of us even in middle school. McCafferty's depiction of middle school cliques, awkwardness and romance shines with her trademark humor.

Hosting an epic slumber party might even help to make Jessica popular…but is that what she really wants? The Bottom Line: A fun introduction to a beloved series – but one that I believe will both delight and frustrate fans. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. Jessica darling it list is about a girl named jessica and she has a popular older sister that wants jessica to be popular too. She's funny, winning, and completely relatable, and it's impossible not to root for her through all her misadventures.If I had to do seventh grade all over again, there's nobody I'd rather have by my side than Jessica Darling.

That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. In both cases, I am very much out of the target demographic (as opposed to YA fiction which in many cases is still highly relevant and entertaining for an older audience). For me, this installment of the series wasn’t as fun as the first novel, but it was still solid and offered encouragement to readers in a similar situation as Jessica.And I wasn't expecting anything of Sloppy Firsts or Second Helpings calibre, I was happy with what it was. A sweet start to what is definitely going to be a hilarious and authentic series, Jessica Darling’s IT List is one that I am sure people of all ages will be able to love. She goes through a change and becomes super pretty right before she starts school but it never goes to her head and she stays incredibly grounded throughout the story.
