From the author of the award-winning THE EARTH, MY BUTT, AND OTHER BIG ROUND THINGS comes the racy story of an overachiever who learns to get over it — and get a life.Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planned out, but the plan does not include having V, her slutty, pot-smoking, sixteen-year-old niece — yes, niece — come to live with her family. Nor does it involve lusting after her boss or dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches every night. What does a control freak like Mara do when things start spinning wildly out of control? With insight, authenticity, and a healthy dose of humor, Carolyn Mackler creates an evolving Type A heroine that every reader will recognize — and root for.

I was lucky enough to find the Italian translation of this book in the kids section at the library. I'm quite perplexed as to why a book aimed at older teens, which openly discusses sex and pot smoking, would be published in an Italian book series for tweens and younger teens (11+), complete with ca...

Will be a short review because I am sick, but I really want to atleast write a bit what I thought of it.Let me say this, I expected many things from the book, and I got more. :) Mara is a wonderful character, she is smart, fun and cute. She grows to much more than that later on, eventually becoming ...
