In the tradition of Bridget Jones’s Diary, a lovably flawed high school student chronicles her life as she navigates the highs and lows of family, friendship, school, and love in a diary that sparkles with humor and warmth.
I’m Chloe Snow, and my life is kiiiiind of a disaster.
1. I’m a kissing virgin (so so so embarrassing). 2. My best friend, Hannah, is driving me insane. 3. I think I’m in love with Mac Brody, senior football star, whose girlfriend is so beautiful she doesn’t even need eyeliner. 4. My dad won’t stop asking me if I’m okay. 5. Oh, and my mom moved to Mexico to work on her novel. But it’s fine—she’ll be back soon. She said so.
Mom says the only thing sadder than remembering is forgetting, so I’m going to write down everything that happens to me in this diary. That way, even when I’m ninety, I’ll remember how awkward and horrible and exciting it is to be in high school.
Chloe Snow’s whole world has been turned on its head and high school is just as scary as she thought it would be. Everything’s changing and she’s trying her hardest not to get sucked in by all the drama, but unfortunately thats not the case.
I am on a blog tour for the upcoming third novel, Notes from a Former Virgin, so I decided it was time to re-read the first one (and read the second one which for some reason I never read.) I LOVE THIS BOOK!
Chloe’s freshman year diary is laugh-out-loud funny and so cringeworthy, because its so realistic. I remember being a freshman in high school, wanting to figure out life and seem more grown up than I really am.
The allure of the senior boys pulls Chloe in, making her choose something that might not be the best choices. She experiences first love, friendship breakups and making new friends.
I loved how this book really focuses on the father-daughter relationship. Chloe and her dad have a good relationship, they are close and slowly learn how to communicate better.
Chloe is mature, yet she’s still figuring out how to navigate not being a little kid anymore. Her friends are all starting to date, while she feels like she’s being left behind and at the same time she’s experiencing more adult things than her friends.
I loved this book so much. I really recommend it to anyone looking for a funny, meaningful and quick read!
