Synopsis:
Perry makes a strong first impression, from her white-girl dreadlocks to her uncensored opinions. When she combs out her dreads on a whim, she catches the eye of a cute guy who's a regular at The Whistle, the diner where she works as a waitress. He mistakes Perry for someone completely different: the girl of his dreams.
Perry tries to become that girl.
But it's so hard to be normal.
And eyebrow piercings are so cute.
With her mother down in LA recording her comeback album, Perry's in charge of the family household, and things are going to change. She starts with paint colors and moves on to doling out retributive punishments for her fifteen-year-old brother.
What Perry really wants, though, is her first boyfriend. She's eighteen, and it's about time!
Boyfriend candidates include: the cute but quiet restaurant regular, the all-too-willing coworker, or the outgoing artist who's eager to whip off his clothes and model. One of these guys loves Perry exactly how she is, but how can she tell which one?
Review:
This novel is in the Young Adult category, but it is a little mature for anyone 18 and under. That said, I don't think anyone 18 and over would find this book very interesting. It is also called a romantic comedy. Well, it isn't very romantic and it it's not funny at all. Like The Princess and the Pea, this one starts out with awkward and childish writing, unlike Princess, this one doesn't get any better. I finished it because I wanted to write the review, and I wanted to see which guy, if any, won Perry's heart.
Perry is 18 and she is ready to lose her virginity and get a boyfriend. Her heart is torn between two guys, Marc a customer at the restaurant she works at and Cooper, Marc's friend. She also considers Toph, a goofy guy that works in the kitchen at her restaurant.
Watching Perry trying to decide between Marc and Cooper was not exciting. She bounces back and forth more than a tennis ball, with about as much intelligence. I didn't like her. I really cannot recommend this book. For younger teens, its inappropriate with talks about sex and masturbation, and to adults, its just silly and trite. Move on, there are better books.
Intended Audience: Young Adult, I recommend at least 17
Kindle
