This week I am sharing excerpts from a stupendous book I found at the thirft store:
Here’s a brief synopsis: Our heroine is Ellen. She’s a writer (a writer!), who’s improbably dating the most popular boy in school, Jack. Little does she know that Jack is fooling around with Melisha (apparently that’s a name), Ellen’s BEST FRIEND. Then there’s Ellen’s other best friend, Julian (a guy). Julian is in love with Ellen, but he has asthma and other embarrassing medical problems, so obviously it isn’t meant to be (despite the fact that they are “soul mates”- Ellen’s words). So that’s all you need to know to enjoy these stand-out sentences:
PARTY GAME!

“What started as a youthful dalliance had turned as sour as decade-old Heinz 57. Not just sour, but dour. Ellen, Melisha, and Julian ran for the storm cellar as the shadow of that evil dick Jack’s evil dick began to cover the hillside in darkness.”
Whoa, Doppelmeyer! This just turned into the best RL Stine book ever

Ellen got out of her mom’s Honda Accord and strolled into the mall. After indulging in some oh-so tasty Dippin’ Dots, she bought some cute new earrings at Claire’s Boutique. She couldn’t wait to wear them out with Jack on their forthcoming date to the Olive Garden, followed by dessert at TCBY treats. Her heart beat just thinking about it, almost bursting forth from her cute new top from Esprit.
So vivid- I feel like I’m right there with her, Teabo
As Jack rushed past Ellen in the hallway she deeply breathed in his scent expecting him to smell like James Franco in those cologne ads. Instead he smelled like major body odor, and chillie dogs. She stumbled backward against her locker pinching her nose.
What an expertly captured moment of disillusionment, Juniper! Jack really does smell horrible.
