This is the second installment in the series centering around the growing pains of Jessica Darling. This book may be even better than the first one. As before there is plenty of angst as she finishes high school in New Jersey, and grapples with feelings towards a boy she thinks she should hate, while trying to decide what college to go to. Often minor characters in this book seem one-dimensional, but as soon as you think you have them figured out, they surprise you with some depth, which makes the story more realistic and is an important lesson to Jessica about her assumptions about people. All I can say is: I'm so glad I'm finished with being a teenager!
