I thought that the premise of this novel sounded great. A straight-A student, who doesn't want to be perfect anymore and who doesn't want to go to Columbia all of a sudden.I also thought that the Jelly Bean Theory was interesting.But the execution was not so well done. I would have expected Poppy to...
I should point out that I normally don’t read young adult fiction. It’s just not a genre that totally grasps my interest; however, I will admit to wanting to read Jolene Stockman’s The Jellybean Crisis based on the cover alone. I mean, look at it! It’s gorgeous!

She used to live by a jelly bean theory where she would eat up all the jelly beans she didn’t like first or fob them off to her brother and save the best (the red ones) until last. I remember doing this with my skittles when I was younger, but Popp...
