What would I add to this list?! Without a
doubt, the Jessica Darling series! Megan McCafferty has created one of
my favorite characters (Marcus Flutie) and perhaps my favorite series of all
time--adult or teen fiction!
I did a little better on this list! I've read 28 of these... plus the 5 in the sadly left-out Jessica Darling series :)
