My First Love and Other Disasters by Francine Pascal

But it’s going to take me two more enormous weeks.

I’m definitely nowhere, sitting around being only fourteen, but it’s absolutely hopeless-I mean, there’s nothing I can do about it until I’m fifteen. Especially seeing as how the person I happen to be madly in love with is seventeen. And for the plans I’m making I absolutely have to be fifteen practically instantly. Except for times like Christmas vacation and summer, it seems like the years take forever to drag by. At least that’s the way they treat us.Īnother drawback is how long it takes. One day you’re the biggest big shot in the entire middle school (among the girls anyway) and the next you’re little Miss Nobody, which is exactly what everyone else in the whole high school seems to think about freshmen. There are so many horrendous things about being fourteen that I’d have a fit if I had to name half of them. Yes sir, thirteen was definitely first-rate.

You’re in the graduating class, and even if it’s only the top of a bunch of little kids, it still makes you feel really special. I recommend this book to the teenagers between 13 to 19 years old who like to read humor, comedy, and romentic book.When I think about all the time I wasted last year moaning about how gross it was to be thirteen, I could kick myself. This scene made me hilarious and inspired me because it is funny to imagine Steffi is just lying in the floor watching Victoria is making out awfully bad and this is disaster for Victoria ever! You've got to picture Steffi still doubled over on the floor'(26). besides, he'll despise me forever if I do.

Like in the book shows, 'I absolutely cannot let him go back down to that cellar again for shoes I'm never going to put on once I take them out of the store. But sadly, it turn out to be the most hysterically funny scene ever. Especially, I like the part where Victoria and her best friend Steffi went to the shoe store where Jim works, for the first mission to get close to him. I really love this book because it is very entertaining, romantic, and also mature than what I thought of. Now, Victoria try to find the way to get close to her first love Jim. But the situation is further complicated by the fact that Jim already has a girlfriend, Gloria. Victoria, now fifteen and having just finished her freshman year of high school, she is so startled and focused on getting her parents to allow her to take a job as a 'Mother helper' to their glamorous divorced neighbor when she spends the summer on Fire Island because of her opportunity to ensnare her crush, the hunky new guy at school, Jim, who will be spending the summer there.
