Daisy Crispin is at a crossroads. In one direction lies the promised land--life at college, away from her embarrassing and overprotective parents. In the other direction is reality--her strapped bank account, an ailing father, and family priorities. Daisy knows the "perfect" daughter wouldn't have to think twice. But maybe Daisy was never really perfect on any level, because she does not want her life to look the way her parents think it should. She won't let that stop her, though. Now that she has been given an exciting free trip to Argentina before going to college, she's thrilled--until her parents decide to go along with her.
Hilarious and all too true to life, "Perfectly Ridiculous" gives teen girls more of what they want and love to read from Kristin Billerbeck.
Kristin does it to me every time and I cannot wait for more. I'm on a bit of an action-thriller kick and I did not want to read a young adult novel this week, but the tour is now and I needed to get it accomplished. Low and behold of course once I start I cannot stop and I'm incapable of putting the book down and all I want to do is turn the next page. I loved Perfectly Dateless and I was glad to see that I enjoyed Perfectly Invisible even more, but now I have to say that Perfectly Ridiculous is my favorite in the series. Each novel does add on the one before, but I think you might be able to get away with reading it alone.
She touches on the heart of what every teenage girl has felt in wanting that connection. I think it is definitely a recommended read and one I'll save for my daughters. Just like the rest of the series. I hope that she'll write more like these in the future.
