Told in dairy entries, Banana Splitsville recounts the story of Courtney’s senior year. It isn’t off to a great start, her boyfriend Dave, is going off to college and he just dumped her. Angry and jaded Courtney makes a vow to be boyfriend less for the year. She instead focuses on other things like running for Class Vice President and working at the Truth or Dairy. All while pinning for Dave.It’s obvious that one of Dave’s friends, Grant is interested in more than just being friends with Courtney. Too bad she has that whole vow thing going on, because Grant is really cute!Banana Splitsville is yet another novel by Catherine Clark. Courtney’s character seemed a little vain to me and I had a hard time feeling empathetic toward her or her situation. Her flaws however became her one redeeming quality. And by the end of the novel she had started to grow on me. While Banana Splitsville had its humorous moments, I thought they were far and few compared to Picture Perfect. Overall, Banana Splitsville was a fun, fast and entertaining read. I would have liked to know more about Courtney’s friends Beth and Jane, hopefully I will in the sequel Rocky Road Trip! Courtney is not one to keep a diary. But when her boyfriend Dave dumps her after a year of dating just because he's moving 30 minutes away to go to college, Courtney needs a place to vent. Between dealing with being dumped, running for student council (looks good on college aps), and working at a smoothie place called Truth or Dairy, Courtney's got a lot on her plate for her senior year. And she can't quite tell what the deal is with Tom (a.k.a. the Tom, as in tomcat) the student council president or Grant, one of Dave's best friends who now seems to be following Courtney everywhere she goes... I liked this book. It was light and funny. A great beach or vacation read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieCourtney Von Dragen Smith (book 1) Elenchi di rilievo
She's humiliated, she's angry....and she's through with boys. Or least that's what she says. This is the journal of Courtney Von Dragen Smith: middle child, product of divorce, would-be vegetarian. She writes the first mega-negative page the day after her boyfriend, "Such a Dave," breaks up with her because he's heading off to college. Angry and humiliated, Courtney vows to survive senior year on the anti-guy plan. But can she really give up guys and focus on friends, school, and her job at the hip café Truth or Diary? Or will a stint in student government, an epileptic dog, and a guy named Grant ("like-the-lake") Superior turn her world upside down and prove her journal right? It's true: life can get weirder. 2001 ALA Popular Paperback for YAs Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Told in diary entries, BANANA SPLITSVILLE recounts the story of Courtney's senior year.
It isn't off to a great start -- her boyfriend, Dave, is going off to college and he just dumped her. Angry and jaded, Courtney makes a vow to be boyfriendless for the year. She instead focuses on other things, like running for Class Vice President and working at the Truth or Dairy. All while pining for Dave.
It's obvious that one of Dave's friends, Grant, is interested in more than just being pals with Courtney. Too bad she has that whole vow thing going on, because Grant is really cute!
In this romantic comedy by Catherine Clark, Courtney's character seemed a little vain to me and I had a hard time feeling empathetic toward her or her situation. Her flaws, however, became her one redeeming quality. And by the end of the novel she had started to grow on me.
While BANANA SPLITSVILLE had its humorous moments, I thought they were far and few between compared to PICTURE PERFECT. Overall, though, this was a fun, fast, and entertaining read. I would have liked to know more about Courtney's friends Beth and Jane; hopefully I will in the third book, ROCKY ROAD TRIP! ( )
