Ally Ryan, come on down to the Jersey Shore and forget your troubles!He's So Not Worth It is a great book but one that I had a lot of trouble with. She's So Dead To Us was one of my favorite books of 2010 and I have to say that this one did not match up with the first. I did still enjoy it and I am, of course, dying for the next book but I did not love it like I thought I would.
Have you recently been humiliated in front of your friends and family at your former best friend's birthday party? Was your almost boyfriend partly responsible for that humiliation by withholding some vital information about where your estranged father is? Did you come home to find said estranged father sitting on your stoop?
If so, then it sounds like you could use a vacation! The Jersey Shore is the place to be. Your mother may be living with her boyfriend of only a few months, but at least the stunt Shannen pulled has put some of your friends back in your court. Even so, you're still angry and what better way to get over Jake than to blow off some steam with local guy, Cooper? People will hardly recognize your new attitude, but the old one wasn't getting you anywhere, so who cares!
Jake Graydon, an exciting opportunity is waiting for you in the service industry!
Are your grades so low your parents have grounded you for the summer? Did you the girl you really like unceremoniously leave you behind? Would you rather eat dirt than see your friends again? Then a job at the local coffee shop is just the ticket! Surprisingly, Ally's father is the new manager so you get to be reminded of her nearly every day. Maybe it's time to start flirting with your best friend's ex or even taking school a bit more seriously. Especially when you finally see Ally and she's hanging around with some loser and it's couldn't be more clear that she is over you.
Have a great summer!
I don't want to give anything away about what happened in the first book so this review is a little hard to write. He's So Not Worth It picked up right where She's So Dead To Us left off so it took no time for me to get back into the story. I still love all the characters but they did some very stupid things in this book. I wanted to smack them all at least once! They were so stupid! The thing I had the most issues with was the relationships. Nobody was willing to forgive each other so instead they hooked up with other people. It's not something I particularly liked reading about.
The story was good overall. I loved Annie's diary entries about the Cresties. They cracked me up. I thought they whole book was pretty comical. The whole thing with Ally's relationship with Jake and her parents relationship was fun to read about. Lots of teen angst was involved. I also liked reading about Ally's relationship with the Cresties. I didn't hate them so much in this book.
Overall, He's So Not Worth It is a great, fun, easy read. Kieran Scott is a favorite author of mine so I can't not recommend her books. And that ending! Wow!
