Synopses & Reviews
Like any self-respecting girl her age, Jess wants to be devastatingly gorgeous, popular, and intelligent. But unfortunately, her best friend, Flora, has beaten her to it. Now Jess needs a new focus. The stunningly gorgeous Ben Jones seems the obvious choice. But can Ben Jones focus on anything that takes longer than a free kick? Perhaps Fred, who's sweet and clever but really needs a haircut, will help Jess through her teen-life crisis. But what of Flora's long-held secret crush? With her particular combination of charm and insanity, Jess heroically tries to keep it all together—with hilarious results.
Synopsis
Fifteen-year-old Jess, living with her mum, separated from her father in Cornwall, and with a best friend who seems to do everything perfectly, finds her own assets through humor.
Synopsis
Saddled with beautiful Fiona as a best friend, Jess Jordan launches a campaign to get her would-be soul mate Ben to notice her, and instead brings on a cavalcade of mortification and disaster, not the least of which is a minestrone explosion in her bra and a school-wide viewing of a videotape that features a topless Jess referring to her breasts and Bonnie and Clyde. Reissue.
