Author:	Megan McCafferty

The new series that got me hooked. It's one of the smartest, wittiest teenage books I've ever read! (and given my love for teenage novels, that's saying something.) ang galing nung author! I especially love her wordplay. sobrang genius! ex: Heirhead, celibait, blandsome, ePISSanies, purGUYtory. She made typical teenage novels with a twist. and of course, let's not hide the real reason for my love for this series, the leading man Marcus Flutie. Don't let the name fool you. sobrang gay pero wow! I am charmed by his character and his mind. his predictable unpredictability keeps me wanting more. you never know what he's gonna do next but when he does something, you're gonna say, "that is so Marcus" hahaha :) feeling close. Jessica Darling as the lead character and the "narrator" is not too bad as well. i love her insights about life and love and everything. nkarelate ako dun sa iba and ung iba nman eyeopener for me. all in all, this series did a good job in portraying the "growing up" process of all the characters starting from highschool until just after graduating from college (so from 16-23 years old.) My favorite is the 2nd book kaya i used that for the photo :) I can't wait for the 5th and final book to come out next year!!

fave lines from each book:

SLOPPY FIRSTS

"When you say too much about anything important, it always ends up sounding more trivial than it is. Words trash it."

"You can only be in a bad mood for so long before you have to face up to the fact that it isn't a bad mood at all. It's just your sucky personality."

"I'm continually waiting for something better that never comes. Maybe it would help if I knew what I wanted."

"I thought I'd show you what you miss when you don't look hard enough"

SECOND HELPINGS

"sometimes knowing something is bad for you isn't enough to stop you from doing it."

"When I really want something, I mean really, really want something, I just can't believe that I'll ever actually get it."

"I just don't see the point of beating myself up. I think it's more productive to concentrate on being a better person right now than punishing myself for who I was in the past."

"Because I've learned that you can't control what other people are going to think about you. The best you can do in life is not piss yourself off."

CHARMED THIRDS

"Why are you focusing on what didn't happen instead of what can happen next?"

"Most people talk when they have nothing to say. I'm not talking because I have too much to say. None of which I'd want you to hear" THE BESSSTT!

"Love may have the longest arms, but it can still fall short of an embrace."

"The only way our relationship would be worth having is if you knew what you were missing without it."

"The only way to appreciate something's value is to distance yourself from it for a while."

FOURTH COMINGS

"You can only really, really hurt the ones you really, really love."

"I think the heart of who we are stays pretty much the same. What changes is how these core traits manifest itself over time"

"No matter how much I write, there will always be something else I should have said."
