Janette Rallison Knows How to Write Drama!!!!

Loved it. Janette Rallison really knows how to keep a reader entertained and her brand of humor is so subtle. At times, I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Her protrayal of a high school play gone awry is priceless.

Awesome Book!

There is simply no other way to put it-- this book is hilarious. I was lying on my bed reading it and laughing out loud! If you love humor with a touch of everything else this book is perfect. It ends off perfectly. At first I thought the book looked a little babyish, but it was just sooo awesome. Enjoy!

Wasn't On My To Do List, but...

I almost didn't read this book because of the cover. Sounds horrible, I know, never judge a book by it's cover. But the girl on the cover looked about eleven years old and it didn't seem very interesting. But I read the back, and I thought, maybe I'll read this sometime. So I put it aside, and then one day I picked it up, and started reading, and I didn't stop until I was done. This is a cute book about a girl named Jessica (who is still in highschool, but NOT eleven years old!) who wants to act. Then a guy named Jordan moves to her town, and... actually, you should read the book. What I thought when I first picked up the book was that it would be poorly written. On the contrary, I found the writing to be funny, the heroine to be funny and smart. I appreciated everything that happened, and the honest way the author wrote the book. It was a good read. The only thing that was wrong with it was it's length - I wanted more. :) So I guess the morale was never to judge a book by it's cover - you may be pleasantly surprised.

Jessica the Drama Queen

Janette Rallison is true to her funny form in this story of Jessica who dreams of Hollywood. When the hunk of her dreams moves to town, she almost screws up their budding romance by divulging his secret: his dad is a famous movie actor. If you like your humor screwball as I do, you'll like this book.
