Customer Reviews

A must read!

I read 'Why Girls are Weird' and thought the whole situation was really funny. I was expecting this book to be the same way. I was wrong, but not disappointed. I think this book was a bit more on the serious side and there's some heavier things going on with the main characters, Benny and her family. Overall, I really enjoyed reading it and hope Pamela Ribon decides to write a third book soon!

Loved it Loved it Loved it Loved it

This book was just so great. Pamie developed the characters so well, and has such a talent for being funny without killing the jokes. My heart was pounding during a few of the situations, and other times I was laughing and other times tearing up. It also kept me guessing until the end what Boobs was going to do with her life. Pamie is much more talented than many of the more famous chick-lit writers out there already, and I can only imagine who she'll cast to play Boobs when this is made into a movie.

Well written and worth sharing with others

After reading "Why Girls are Weird", I had immediately preordered this book. It was worth the wait-I loved reading about "Boobs" and the dynamics between her and her mother and sister. I read several chapters aloud to my mother who laughed heartily. Just goes to show, it's not just funny to the 30ish chicks-it's funny all the way around!

Pamie has done it again!

I literally could not put this book down and read it in one sitting. I've always been a fan of The Ribon Writing, and this may be her best yet. Buy this book - you won't regret it!

So good.

If your enjoyed Pamela Ribon's first book "Why Girls are Weird" then read this book. Even if you have not, read this book. It is vey funny, thoughtful and just an all around great read. Benny is a great character and is wonderfully drawn, I enjoyed following her ups and downs. I was through this book in a day and a half and I cannot wait to start it again.
