Second Helpings and Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty are part of the continuing series that began with Sloppy Firsts. Both books tell the story of Jessica Darling and her high school friends. We see them grow up, graduate from high school and head off to college. Readers will observe the hell of high school and the freedom of college. Readers will experience the joys and pitfalls of young love and the disaster of those terrible break up.
These books were great and well written. They were funny and sad all at the same time. The author has a great voice. I know there will be a fourth book. However, I would be very careful about recommending these to high school students. The language is definitely blue with lots of sexual experiences discussed in great detail.
