Last night I got home and tried to read the rest of the book I had open on my kindle, but that didn't happen either. We didn't get home until almost midnight. I did read 3 maybe 4 chapters last night though. I was woken up by the phone this morning and after that I got out of bed and finished the book.
A Little Less Girl by Tess Oliver was actually not bad. I wasn't sure what it was about, in fact I didn't really look at the title until halfway through the book. Even though I wasn't sure where the book was going to go. I figured it out a little later. This is more of a teen or young adult novel with only a hint of romance in it. Maybe good age 15 and older.
There are 2 narrators in this book, Jake and Dani. Each chapter one of them in the narrator, they interchange. This book follows a few weeks in the life of the 2 characters. Starting from the day before they meet each other for the first time.
Jake has to walk home from where a girl from school had supposedly committed suicide the year before because his jeep's transmission went out on him there. Before he headed he noticed that someone left a bowl of lime jell-o with a note saying "If there is no lime jell-o in heaven - D."
He walked into town and was stopped by a lady with tattoos asking directions to Crockett road. It also happened to be the mother to Dani. Dani is cousin to the girl, Amy, that had committed suicide. She knew about Jake West. Her cousin had been crazy about this guy. She also blamed him for the death of her cousin, just like the rest of Raynesville did.
Jake father has made him a deal and will pay for his tranny to be fixed if he takes up the coach of the swim team for the school offer to be assistance coach and join back on the team as a swimmer. He had quit the year before after Amy's death and also allowed his grades to slip.
Dani has decided since they have a preeminent home she was going to join the swim team again. She has started reading her cousin's, Amy, diary to find out why a person who was always full of life would just up and commit suicide. As she reads it she finds that her cousin was trying to lose weight. She was also kind of stalkery towards Jake. Amy recorded every time she seen Jake or if he talked to her and such. That was until she overheard him say something mean about her.
After that is when her diary went down hill. Dani's mission to find out why Amy commtted suicide and not fall for the guy who broke her cousin's spirit. Jake mission is to get through his last year of school and get out of town.,a try not to fall for the cousin of the girl who he beats himself up over when she killed herself.
