Review

Third book in the series, The Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair. As an adult reading it, I felt that I was missing something by not reading books 1 and 2. I understand that teens are happy with jumping in with book 3.

It all starts with Gaga getting married and kissing (yuck, grandma's shouldn't do that!). It then continues on with April's life. She is torn between two boys, Billy and Matt. Billy is a friend and was a boyfriend. Matt lives next door and goes to high school. What's a girl to do? Add a little girl drama in, best friend Bryn likes Billy too, and you've pretty much got the book.

No sex, very little kissing, so quite tame.

Overall Book Score: good
