Right off the bat Prom day doesn't go well. Her dress is not good, her shoes are even worse. Her mom gets involved, she starts getting random stains on her dress immediately, Alison keeps trying to mack on Ian, Ian keeps disappearing.... and then she wakes up in a ditch the next morning, DITCHED!
This book was so Ehh for me. Just not what I was expecting at all. I LOVE books about prom and popularity and trying to get the guy to like you. LOVE that stuff when it's done right. This book just didn't get there for me at all.
So you have Justina who shows up at a convenience store in her prom dress and proceeds to tell the middle-aged clerk and another self-proclaimed Cougar the story of her night... stain by stain. Like these women care! And then not only do the women care, they totally relate and agree that kissing moves Heaven and Earth. KISSING! Maybe I'm just too old, but kissing is not a big deal.
Here's the good part: Justina goes on some crazy-amazing adventures during her prom night- and those I loved. The adventures were funny, silly, and the only part of the book I liked. There are these 2 stoner guys Mike and Mike and their dates who take Justina under their wing... and honestly I wish the book was about them! They were funny and endearing. I didn't like Justina... she's so dense, judgemental, and unlikable. In the end Ian DID ditch her... even if there is a reason, it's not good enough to leave your prom date and not let her know what you are doing.
Sorry if this sounded awful, the book is totally read-able. It flows good and I think there is an audience out there for it. I think that audience is middle-grade though.
