After reading (and fawning all over) Waiting for Tom Hanks, I knew I would need more Kerry Winfrey in my life in short order. Per usual my best friend . . . .
Full Disclosure: That is the branch that is 15 minutes away from my house. My branch (a/k/a The Pornbrary) is not pretty . . . .
But I digress. Long story long, the library had a copy of this one to lend me.
Note to all grown-ups: This is 100,000,000,0000% Young Adult so if you are not a fan, just stay far away. Note to all parents: This is a PG-13 selection that most would probably fine benign for even middle-grade readers.
As the title says, the story here is about Jolie. Born with a severe underbite, Jolie is scheduled to go under the knife in a couple of months in order to realign her jaw and hopefully ease some of the headaches and difficulty eating she has always had to deal with. She’s also banking on a transformation like you only see in the movies . . . . .
After viewing a “medical mishaps” type of reality show, Jolie starts to fear the worst and decides to make a little bucket list of sorts of things to accomplish before she either bites it or bites it . . . . .
Items include eating more than just the Chicken Wanton Tacos on the Applebee’s Happy Hour menu – to which I ask whyyyyyyyy???? They’re pretty perfect and cost like $3 . . . . .
Reading Jane Eyre. Doing something a little dangerous . . . . .
And most importantly of all . . . . .
Having her first kiss with Noah Reed. Little does Jolie know that she’ll find out so much more about herself, venturing out of her comfort zone, discovering that beauty truly does radiate from within and maybe the boy she was looking for was right there the whole time.
This book is for the teen who is simply looking for a sweet little romance. No angst, little drama, just a nice read : )
