Please be patient with the fewer and far-between posts....we have a new 'half' born in April and things are slow as we adjust and try desperately for more sleep. (It's a girl!)

Top Ten Uses For An Unworn Prom Dress, by Tina Ferraro

Top Ten Uses For an Unworn Prom Dress, by Tina Ferraro
Young Adult, 2007

Nicolette Antonovich buys THE perfect prom dress, only to get dropped just before prom. Not having the heart to ditch the dress, she starts a mental list of things to do with an unworn prom dress, all while she's trying to save her mother's career/their house, have her dad as part of her life, fix the problems with her best friend, and try to figure out her love life.
Surprisingly cute, I was pleased there weren't so many of the cliches that are rampant in teen drama books now. Her best friend wasn't perfect, and while Rascal is much more how I remember high school guys being, (than say the other guys she hangs out with), it was fairly realistic. Props on the dress - it sounded fabulous.
Graded a B-.

I finished it the other day and will agree, it was a cute book.
