Bridget Jones’s Diary meets Mean Girls as lovably flawed high school student Chloe Snow chronicles her junior year as she navigates the highs and lows of family, friendship, school, and losing her virginity.
I’ll be honest: junior year has been a disaster.
My horrible mom is back from Mexico.
My dad’s girlfriend is living in our house.
Did I mention my parents aren’t divorced yet?
On the plus side, I lost my virginity!...and then the whole school found out and I got slut-shamed.
Then, somehow, I got popular! But according to some people, it turned me into a monster, and I’m pretty sure everyone hates me now.
Oh, and there was the Thanksgiving fiasco, and the prom queen debacle, and the illegal middle-of-the-night drive to the hospital.
Want to hear the whole wild story? You’ll have to read my notes.
I’m not usually one to enjoy covers with real human faces on them (I like illustrated people most of the time though!) but these covers are so playful and in tune with the books themselves. All of the covers for the first three books really reflect Chloe’s kind-of goofy personality quite well. I love the color scheme for this one too! Some of my favorites.
I’m kind of obsessed with this collection that I pulled together! I have the focal point of the cover as one of the main pieces of the collage: big blue heart-shaped sunglasses. I included a planner/diary that matches the cover’s color scheme because obviously this book is written as diary entries. There’s a pretty close replica of Chloe’s pink sweater and some denim shorts with blue sandals to go with it. I include some pinky/purple makeup items, like the blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow palette. I also added a contour kit for bronzed skin and a backpack for her to take during junior year of high school.

YAY!! Thanks for being on the tour– you always kill it!! I love what you picked out to go with the cover!! And I’m with you on not usually liking real people on covers, but I also feel like it works with the feel of these books. And this cover is super cute– even if they forgot about Snickers 🙁
