A PC school principal turns West Side Story into a comedy of errors. Sixteen year-old Jessica dreams of Hollywood fame, and when Jordan moves into her small town, she dreams of him too. He's a movie star's son, and hey, he's gorgeous to boot. Jordan has always wanted to get out from the shadow cast by his superstar father, but now that he and his mother have moved so far away from LA, how can he get his divorced parents back together? Jessica convinces Jordan the way to get his father to come for a long visit is to be a part of the school play. And if she's "discovered" in the process, all the better. Things go wrong when she lets Jordan's secret identity slip, and grow even more disastrous when the principal tries to change West Side Story into a gangfree, violence-free, politically correct production. In the same romantic and sharply witty spirit of Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Free Throws, Janette Rallison delivers another comic gem that teen readers are sure to love.

Comment On Epithetical Books Fame, Glory, and Other Things on My To Do List

I know I can never go wrong with a Janette Rallison book. I know I can buy her books without reading them before hand. I always know that her books will be fun and clean. This was another book.The first 16 pages were laugh out loud funny for me. I have to admit I was a little frustrated with Jessica for a little while. I love her comments throughout the book. I often had a smile on my face. Who knew West Side Story, Wal-mart, and a Honda Civic with starter problems could be so humorous and

3.5 starsOkay, so one of my favorite things about Janette Rallison is that she writes about these shallow characters (most of whom are regulation hotties) and makes me root for them.Anyway, this book had me laughing out loud on the plane, so yay for that.



I read this in one sitting (on the day I read two other books as well. Yes, I have a book problem.) and had fun-ish. Jessica's selfishness and manipulation made me a little squeamish. I almost skipped to the end after the first thirty pages, but I didn't. I was glad that I didn't later, but it was rough for me for a while there. I'm still not sure if Jessica changed, really, and am not entirely sure the resolution with Jordan made sense.I also really liked how fun Jessica's mind was. Janette

This was definitely not my favorite Rallison book. I didn't like that the guy and the girl liked each other so fast, broke up so fast, and then spent much longer not talking. Then after they got over their fight, they were in love and they hardly knew each other before! Plus, there was a little too much high school drama without enough of the funny writing that I like

One thing I wanted to complain about was the main character's best friend Kate.Kate is a liberal. She argues about equal rights for both genders, and she insists on things being politically correct. In the eyes of the viewers, she is probably considered a feminist. But why does she hate men?The definition of feminism:feminism /ˈfeməˌnizəm/NounThe advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.So therefore a feminist is someone who supports feminism.

This book is surprisingly LOL funny in the closing sequence. And the main character is a likeable PRETTY girl, which you don't see very often in YA lit. I would highly recommend this book for Brynn (even though it is just another boyfriend/girlfriend plot). Janette Rallison is an LDS author, so it is perfectly teen-appropriate.
