Girl, (Nearly) 16: Absolute Torture

By Sue Limb

Sequel to Girl 15, charming but insane

Jess Jordan has the perfect summer planned: spending time with her boyfriend Fred, who got them tickets to a music festival. Of course, right about then comes the news that Jess, Granny, and Jess's mom are taking a road trip down to St. Ives to see Jess's dad. Yes, Jess has been begging her mom to take her to see her dad for ages, but did it have to be NOW? Yes, apparently it does, so the three of them head off on a tour of the countryside. When they get to St. Ives Jess gets a surprise, Fred has followed her!  Loved this book, when I read it I laughed literaly laughed my head off. No, really, it is that funny and I am writing this from beyond the grave. READ IT, because if you don't I will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Girl 15, charming but insane

by Sue Limb

Jess Jordan has a lot to cope with:  her best friend is blond, beautiful, and completely perfect, her mother and father are divorced and her father lives in Cornwall. Also, her mother has just announced that her grandmother is coming to live with them. Worst of all, her imagination is completely out of control!  There is one bright spot however: she is writing a spoof personal ad to perform in the school show. Because of this, Jess, who wants to be a stand up comedian, takes few of her problems in stride, and is most definitely completely nuts, may possibly survive. "Girl 15, charming but insane" perfectly describes the main character in this extremely funny book. I laugh my head off every time I read it. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
