Synopsis

The first audiobook in the beloved, New York Times bestselling series - now with a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Serle

Jessica Darling is devastated when her best friend moves away from Pineville, New Jersey. With Hope gone, Jessica has no one she can really talk to. She doesn’t relate to the boy-and-shopping obsessed girls at school, or her dad’s obsession with track meets, and her mom is too busy planning big sister Bethany’s lavish wedding. Jessica is lost more than ever, and her nonexistent love life is only making things worse.

Fresh, funny, and utterly compelling, readers fell in love with Jessica Darling’s poignant, hilarious voice and have stayed with her through her ups and downs (and her mixed-up feelings about her first love, Marcus Flutie). A modern classic, listeners will be excited to return to Pineville, New Jersey and Jessica Darling’s world with Sloppy Firsts. Now with a foreword from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Serle and a new author's note from Megan McCafferty!

Goodreads review by Nilufer

Happy book birthday to this lovely YA fiction! 🥳 Wow! After the first release in 2001 it seems like nothing much changed with the dynamics in a impressively witty and sarcastic high school girl’s life. Jessica definitely not so Darling (she’s definitely not a sweet girl next door! She has sharper cla......more

For those of you that aren't aware, this book originally came out in 2001 and it was my ABSOLUTE favorite book all throughout middle school and high school.

If you haven’t heard of the Jessica Darling Series before then…well, you’ve been living under a rock, that’s what.

Goodreads review by Emily May

This was a really funny, feel-good novel reminiscent of novels like Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging and other such hilariosity.
