It's a Big Fat Greek Wedding......except, instead of matrimonial, Phoebe and her mum will be experiencing mythological bliss.Greek islands, balmy breezes, hot demigods, crazy stepsisters, friendship bracelets and IMing into the wee hours of the morning - this and more melds together in a fantastic Y...
The good: a sports-minded teenage girl who isn't primarily interested in clothes or boys; a slightly different boarding school; a very strong portrayal of friendship; quick pace.

Jessica is able to bring the characters to life, each person having their own distinct voice. Oh. My. Gods. was a rea...
