Book Friday – So Not Happening, Jenny B. Jones
31 July 2009
Is Jenny the first author to be featured twice on Book Friday? I’m pretty sure she is.
Since I loved the Katie Parker series, and I love Jenny’s blog, it really came as no surprise to me that I loved So Not Happening. I think Bella would be difficult to relate to except she is getting such a raw deal. She’s lived a posh NYC life for sixteen years, but when her parents split, her mom marries a guy she meets on the internet who lives in a dinky town Oklahoma. To me, this entitles Bella to be however much of a brat she wants.
So Not Happening has every characteristic I’ve come to love in Jenny’s books—an effortless flow that keeps me turning pages, a wit that makes me laugh out loud, and wonderful, cringe-worthy catastrophes that make me both wince and chuckle. A wonderful summer read for anybody who wants to forget that school starts in just a couple weeks. If you want to try it before you can buy it (and why wouldn’t you, really?) you can read the first chapter of all Jenny’s books here.
