I Adore Adored!

This book is good, though its kind of funny how you find yourself more interested in whats going on in the other characters in the book instead of Jenny - who the series is supposed to be about. Jenny's character just seems to be losing steam. You're more interested in the glamorous live of Brett, Callie and Tinsley than the girl that sleeps in ugly pajamas and drools in her sleep. You began this series hoping Little Jenny Humphrey would rise to the top of Waverly's Elite and become The It Girl, stepping out of the shadows of Blair Waldorf & Sarena Van Der Woodsen, yet she's fallen into the shadows of Brett Messerschmidt, Callie Vernon & Tinsley Carmichael. Its sort of a let down, but you can't stop reading the books because you're so curious as to whats going on with the others in the books! My favorite - Brett. And this book keeps you waiting to hear more about her! I love The It Girl series!

Excellent shape

This book also came in great shape and on time. Definitely would buy from again.

Love

I really enjoyed this book, it's very well written and funny. Can't wait for Devious!

I have to admit, the IT GIRL series is one of those guilty pleasures that I have. I can't help myself when I know another release is forthcoming. So, I eagerly sat myself down the other night when I had ADORED, the eighth installment in the series, in my hands. The crew has returned from Thanksgiving break and has to buckle down to get ready for finals. As with all the books in the series, ADORED only covers a couple of weeks in the lives of the gang at Waverly. All the players are back, and they've all got drama going on. Callie is recently single, after having broken things off with Easy in INFAMOUS. She's on the prowl for a new beau, but it seems that the pickings are slim at Waverly. Everything changes when she spies an unknown hottie in the cafeteria. Tinsley is back together with Julian, thanks to Yvonne Stidder's party in New York City. But now Tinsley has nagging thoughts that Julian may have lost his virginity already. He's only a freshman! And all Tinsley can do is picture Julian with...Jenny! Jenny has become a small celebrity on campus. A group of freshman girls are filming her for a documentary for their class. The freshmen want to see how someone in the "in" crowd lives. But having a camera in her face at all hours is turning into a nightmare. Brett is spreading herself too thin. After the senior prefect goes missing in action, the faculty comes to Brett and "asks" her to spearhead the Secret Santa program. And then, as if that wasn't enough, she gets suckered into organizing the Holiday Ball. How is she going to fit in studying for finals on top of those responsibilities? And, as always, Heath Ferro is up to his old tricks. He's taken the Secret Santa and turned it into a Secret Satan event. The campus has gone crazy with dirty and sexy gifts rather than the old traditional ones. And let's just say that when a cop turns up in a classroom, emotions are going to boil over! {I laughed out loud at the crazy presents poor Brandon Buchanan receives!} ADORED does not disappoint in all the craziness, mayhem, and hi-jinx that we have come to love. There was definitely some laugh-out-loud moments with this installment! With some of the content in this one, the age 15 and up notation on the back of the cover is a good guide. Reviewed by: Jaglvr

Get "It"

At first, I thought my obsession with GG was waning and I could do without another book about rich, spoiled, mean, and confused girls. But....I gave in to my guilty pleasure and I was not disappointed. I don't want to give away too much, but if you are a Jenny Hump fan, your girl will make you very proud. Jenny shows that average people like you and me, can be adored & admired if we care more about hearts rather than handbags. Oh, and the chicks you love to hate....you will hate more.
