Fancy White Trash
Abby has a plan. A plan to find her One True Love, and to avoid getting impregnated while in high school, causing her to drop out and never graduate like her two older sisters. And with this plan, she has come up with five rules - rules she developed through her many hours watching soap operas and her sisters’ mistakes - in order to find her One True Love:
Rule #1 - Find Someone New.
Rule #2 - No Baggage from Past Relationships.
Rule #3 - Looks Aren’t Everything.
Rule #4 - Don’t Need Him.
Rule #5 - Get Out of Town.
Only problem is that her best friend’s older brother, Jackson, has just come back to town, and while Abby has the hots for him, he definitely DOES NOT fit in with the rules.
I’m somewhat torn about this book. On one hand, I found it perversely entertaining. On the other hand, the author didn’t make me empathize with or care for any of the characters. The main character, and her family, are exactly what the title implies - white trash. I don’t understand what motivated these characters, and the author didn’t make that any easier. Especially when we get into the details about how Abby’s step-father also dated her oldest sister, and is her other sister’s daughter’s father, and is still sleeping with her oldest sister while still being married to her mom. Um, yeah. It was like watching an episode of Jerry Springer. And unless you’re a fan of Jerry Springer, I would suggest you skip this one.
You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.
Eeeeew. Uh, yeah. Skipping as suggested. *salutes*
