TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS
Tina Ferraro
Delacorte Press
April 2007
978-0-385-73368-7
Paperback
Young Adult Romance

 

Nicolette is the most popular, pretty, and normal girl in her school…Not!! In her sophomore year, she was stood up by the most popular guy in school, and she even had a beautiful dress. She can’t seem to let go of her unworn prom dress either, as a result she makes a list of the top ten uses for an unworn prom dress, all of them seem to be extremely good reasons too. As she’s thinking up uses for her unworn prom dress she also has to battle her best friend and all the people at school who think her best friend’s brother is getting friends with benefits.  On top of everything else, she also has to deal with her divorced parents and her mom edging closer and closer to losing their house. 

WOW! WOW! WOW! Okay now this reviewer can properly express her feelings about this one of a kind book. In all of this reviewer’s life she has never read a book twice however this may change starting with this book.  After reading the first page, this reader could not put the book down, literally.  The richness of this book can not be expressed in words, the reviewer honestly didn’t have to feel like Nicolette because not even after two pages this reviewer figured out she WAS Nicolette (okay well sort of).  The connection between Nicolette and Jared, her best friends’ brother was so captivating that this reviewer got lost within the book.  One of the best things about this book was how believable it is, the other thing that was great about the book is the numerous similar qualities of this reviewer and Nicolette.  This book also stands out extremely from the others because there has never been a book that had a main character who was almost this reviewer’s own twin.
