32C, That's Me by Chris Higgins

Jess has everything a girl could possibly want-a perfect boyrfriend, great family, cool older sister, amazing best friend...when one day a phone call is all it takes to turn her life upside down. Then when her school puts on the unlucky play, Macbeth, and she gets the lead role-life starts to mirror art. When the truth starts coming out, her whole life starts to crumble and fall apart...can she keep it together?

I think that I expected too much of this book. First off, her boyfriend was supposed to be super-gorgeous-everyone-loves-him-perfect-and-amazing but he was called Muggs. Come on. (Well, that was his nickname-but his name throughout the book). I can't stand authors who give cute guys freaky names. Also, Ali (Jess's best friend) annoyed me and it annoyed me how Jess was such a pushover when it came to her. She forgave her so quickly, there wasn't enough drama. And it was, well....boring. Her Mum's story was OK, but you knew it was coming, and Chris Higgins ended the book to quickly. She got all the drama us readers had been waiting for and wrote it down on one page, like she couldn't be bothered to finish. And the ending could have been really really good-but it wasn't. She just focused on the pointless stuff too much. So, it was a drag to read...and I wouldn't bother with it again.

  1. Mmm.. it sounds a bit boring, and I'm totally with you on the name Muggs! a guy called Muggs can't be sexy, it actually sounds kind of a douchebagy name.

    Sorry it was a disappointment.

  2. I don't know why authors give guys such bad names sometimes. It just sounds wrong!!! Don't think I'll be hurrying to buy any Chris Higgins books to soon then.....)':
