All Jasmine Callihan wants to do on her family vacation in Las Vegas is relax by the pool, avoid her cousin Alyson and Alyson's Evil Hench Twin, Veronique, work on her Meaningful Reflections journal and Little Life Lessons for school, and maybe meet the cute guy Jas has been eyeing from across the pool. Is that really so much to ask? Apparently yes. After wreaking a wedding and subsequently getting out of trouble and being given a limo, Jas decides to become a Model Daughter. This causes her friends Polly, Roxy, and Tom to come to Vegas to "deprogram" her using magazines and dog collar restraints. Yes, I mean that. Yes, dog collar restraints, as in real dog collars to be used as restraints. Dog collars with rhinestones. No, her friends never used them. Yes, her friends are nuts, wacko, and insane, except maybe Tom. Before they get there, though, Jas meets Jack (the guy from across the pool), discovers that he is (probably) evil, receives a threatening note, steals a limo by accident, and bids Model Daughter Jas goodbye, thereby eliminating the necessity of reprogramming. Soon Jas and her friends are embroiled in a mystery involving murder, possible murder, theft, and an orange cat. And it's all the cats' fault. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this book, which frequently has both me and my sister rolling on the floor laughing. Hilarious! Everyone in it is completely insane, though. Oh, wait, that's a good thing. At least from my point of view. LOVE JAS LOVE POLLY LOVE ROXY LOVE TOM! Much purring.

This book is SOOOOOOO FUNNY! SO SO SOOO FUNNY!
ReplyDeletefor some reason that is obvioselily insane, she sounds kind of like Jess Jordan. I dunno, I guess its the whole, "wrecking weddings," and from what it sounds like, practically blowing everything she touches up. yes, that sounds like something that would happen to Jess.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, not quite like Jess. JESS doesn't continualy get involved in crime investiagation. JESS woulden't almost get killed in Vegas. JESS'S friends woulden't see the need to deprogram her using magazines and rhinestone dog collars! JESS doesn't have Evil Hench Twins who are not actually twins and one of whom is not even related to her and who commmit Crimes Against Fashion. And JESS doesn't have quite the same ISSUES as Jas. But Jess and Jas ARE both trouble prone.
ReplyDeletehmm... maybe you are right. but Jess DOES blow practically every perfect thing in the world (other than Flora Barclay) up into a pile of rubble.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's really accurate. Jess isn't really DESTRUCTIVE, she just ends up in SITUATIONS. The main one that comes to mind in the minestrone incident, and the related incedent that followed. You may recall them.
ReplyDeleteheh, whatever, it was just a figure of speech, in a way, but I still have to argue with that, seeing as, the Minestrone Soup Incident, was and explosion of sorts.
ReplyDeleteas far as blowing everything up, I might possibly be thinking about Jacky Faber. Now there is a real walking disaster.
ReplyDeleteHmm, you may be right about the Soup Incident. As to Jacky, hoo yeah, TROUBLE MAGNET!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jacky could MAYBE pass through a town and not leave chaos in her wake? Just once? Maybe?
ReplyDeleteAnd then again, maybe not.
ReplyDeleteprobably not, anyways, that is just how jacky is, she cant help the fact that everything she touches turns into a pile of ashes! I feel really bad for Jamie Fletcher though! poor guy, he has sooooo much on his plate with Jacky constantly running around all over the world, destroying things, and getting her self constantly put in jail!
ReplyDeleteHAH! I know, poor Jaimy! And what about prim, proper Amy?
ReplyDeleteAmy might as well try to heard a ton of ferocious lions, then teach jacky how to be a lady!
ReplyDeleteisnt this interesting how we are talking about jacky faber on a completely different post!
we could go on like this forever...
and ever...
and ever......
I know, right?
ReplyDeletethis is what always happens when people like us try holding a conversation (;
ReplyDeletenot saying that it is a bad thing of course, just an interesting observation.
ReplyDeleteYeah
ReplyDeleteI adore Polly, Roxy, Tom, Jas, and the Evil Hench Twins Veronique and Alyson, also grudgingly known as Tigers*Eye(the star is silent)and Sapphyre, as they insist on being called in the sequel to Bad Kitty. Sapphyre and Tigers*Eye are the Evil Hench Twin's Faerie names, which they ahve adopted as part of a larger program of spiritual awakening that they got from Spirituality for Dummies. No, not the interesting sort of faerie that I like. No, I am not kidding.
