Retro Friday Review: Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty
February 25, 2011
Retro Friday Reviews is a meme hosted by Angie of Angieville. Basically, you spotlight older titles. If Jessica Darling was a real life person, she would be three years older than me. If she had gone to my school, she would have been someone I looked up to, I am sure. Sloppy Firsts by Megan […]
