Well, Mia has a boyfriend now. And she realizes that she should be excited
but she’s not. It’s not that she hates
Kenny, but she doesn’t feel anything beyond friendship for him and dreads those
moments when she is expected to kiss him.
But in an effort to be nice (and because she can’t have the guy she
really wants) Mia stays in an unhappy relationship.
But what hurts worse is that Michael is apparently now
deeply involved with the fruit fly-cloning senior Judith Gershner. How could Mia ever compete with someone as
smart and advanced as Judith? Her friends
and family all tell her to be honest with Kenny and Michael, but that is far
too sensible a suggestion for someone like Mia.
Plus she really wants to go to the Nondenominational Winter Dance and if
she breaks things off with Kenny and Michael rejects her, then she won’t have a
date. A little selfish but she is
fourteen after all.
More important than this though is her upcoming debut to the
Genovian people. Grandmere has been
preparing her for months but Mia is still terrified that she will screw up
somehow. But it is more possible that
her mom and Mr. Gianni will mess up her carefully laid out feeding and cleaning
schedule for her beloved cat Fat Louie.
This book is much like the others: fun, short, and full of
teenage drama. I know that I probably
should have grown past books like these, but I’m not sure that I will. For some reason the predictability of these
books doesn’t get to me at all.
