The first book in the beloved, New York Times bestselling series - now with a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Serle Jessica Darling is devastated when her best friend moves away from Pineville, New Jersey. With Hope gone, Jessica has no one she can really talk to. She doesn't relate to the boy-and-shopping obsessed girls at school, or her dad's obsession with track meets, and her mom is too busy planning big sister Bethany's lavish wedding. Jessica is lost more than ever, and her nonexistent love life is only making things worse. Fresh, funny, and utterly compelling, readers fell in love with Jessica Darling's poignant, hilarious voice and have stayed with her through her ups and downs (and her mixed-up feelings about her first love, Marcus Flutie). A modern classic, readers will be excited to return to Pineville, New Jersey and Jessica Darling's world with Sloppy Firsts. Now with a foreword from New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Serle and a new author's note from Megan McCafferty!
