Confessions of a Not it Girl part 2 (Josie Jackson)
Now that I've gotten deeper into the book, more of the authors humor style has become apparent. Such as whenever she thinks about a boy she even remotely likes, her daydream is in the setting of a Shakespeare play, then, at the end she says "CURTAIN". The main character also compares people to unusual famous folk, or describes them with unusual, yet humorous terms.For example, "...when all of a sudden there was a squeal. Literally a squeal. Like the violent death of some animal."Here is also an example of the sarcasm used in the book. Flirting with this guy she says"I don't like to mix business with pleasure." As the story goes on you get a better feeling for the characters, and everyones very unique personalities, that is one thing this author does well is she gives very good, detailed descriptions even of characters with the tiniest parts, but its makes the story just that much more of an experience. So, onto the summary. Jans love life is slowly progressing, while her best friend, the it girl's, is moving rapidly, she is having a thing with on of her fathers middle aged employees, even though she is only 18. Jan is falling in love with the old neighbor boy.
