"The first book in a really fun coming-of-age trilogy! Addicted to coffee and Shrimp (the person, not the food), California girl Cyd Charisse dreams of life with her father in New York. But when she finally gets the chance to visit, she finds that reality doesn't quite match her daydreams."

" its o.k. "
— Cassidystraw, 2/12/2014" i loved it. its one of the few books that portrayed teenagers in a tragically funny real light. "
— Annalies, 2/7/2014" Pretty good book. I had my doubts since I read another book by this author and didn't really like it. The main character's really funny. "
— Jenny, 2/5/2014" THIS IS AN AWSOME BO0O0K BUT WATCH OUT IT MAY HAVE SUM CURSING I WOULD RECOMMENSD THIS BOOK!! REALLY GUYS YU SHOULD READ IT! "
— Julxz, 2/2/2014" I felt like I was reading a diary! An uninteresting one, for sure. I mean, there are a lot of books out there in diary format, and they're great, and some diaries in real life are even interesting and fun to read. This one? No. The main character is just complaining, telling, and I'm just like, this is better if you have kept it to yourself. "
— Maria, 1/26/2014" UGH!!!!! THIS BOOK WAS ABSOULTLEY SUCKED! THE GIRL THOUGHT SHE WAS COOL, AND WAS OBSESSED WITH HER BOYFRIEND. IT'S NO SURPRISE SHE GOT PREGNANT! "
— Cassidy, 1/23/2014" I liked this! I admit that I was skeptical when I started reading it. Cyd's mental narrative isn't really my style so that did take a bit of getting used to. Otherwise, the story was amusing and a very quick read. "
— Sabrina, 1/22/2014" I did not like this book. The characters were all obnoxious except cyd's brother but their relationship seemed so unrealistic...everyone's did actually, well maybe not unrealistic but more 1dimensional. Anyway, Cyd, the main character, was an annoying teenager and I just didn't find her that interesting... It was a quick read because the story was so flat... Nothing was really developed fully. I don't recommend it "
— Kaela, 1/19/2014" I love Cyd Charisse and all of her quirkiness. I wish that had been me when I was in high school. I got a little tired of her talking to her doll, but no one is perfect, right? "
— Laila, 1/19/2014" It's pretty good book, but my only problem is the main character. She needs more character development. "
— Ella, 12/20/2013" ITS A BOOK AGAINST FAMILY DISCUSSIONS BUT MOST OF ALL ITS A TEEN BOOK DUH!!! "
— ♥Dafne♥, 11/22/2013" This book made me fall in love with young adult fiction k yes bai. "
— Samantha, 9/14/2013" i love CC. "
— Joey, 8/8/2013" i love this book.its great how this girl explains thing in greats detail.it so awsome n so is this second book! "
— Mercedes, 6/24/2013" Really liked this set. It brought back some fond memories of my youth. It did turn out to be a little mature for my almost 13-year-old. "
— Diane, 5/8/2013" If you can get past Cyd Charrise's slang, you'll be ok. Mediocre novel. "
— Kayla, 1/26/2013" The quirky story of Cyde Charisse is absolutely heart warming. Cyde goes from being in a private school to living in California. She goes through a time where she's rebellious and it's touching. This is a good find. "
— Tracy, 12/5/2012" It started off really well and I really enjoyed it. Then in the end or a little after the middle it got boring. "
— Samm, 10/15/2012" Cyd Charise is a fab character, great voice, authentic with a touch of obnoxious. "
— MaryAnn, 10/13/2012" Rachel Cohn is third in my "Author Trifecta" and like Libba and Holly's books, I want to read Rachels again and give proper reviews. But I absolutely adore Rachel and I'll miss the CC series but will definately read anything she writes! "
— Bex, 9/23/2012" I would not recommend this for a 7th grader. I recommend it for a 9th grader and older. "
— Alycia, 7/10/2011" I really liked this book. It has been along time since I have read it. It is written well and isn't too indepth so it makes for a quick read. "
— Morgan, 3/16/2011" I love this book. I was so happy to read more about Cyd. Her adventures and her personal conflics. It's an easy character to fall in love with. The only disapointing part of the book...is knowing you're just about finished and you wish it would just go on, and on "
— Sarah-louise, 2/16/2011" Really goodway to end it except I wish cyd charrise and shrimp would have gotten back together. "
— Zoey, 1/16/2011" this book was not as interesting "
— Wendy, 1/10/2011" Once again, everything this author does creates a rememberence of being young and the development everyone goes through emotionally even as adults. Excellent. "
— Saint, 12/20/2010" This wasn't the best in the series, but it was still a good read. I enjoyed the first book much more, but this book had a sad ending, (no spoilers!) and kind of a sad all around feel to it. I would say that this book is still readable, though, but it wasn't as good as the other two. "
— Annie, 12/6/2010" accidentally read this before gingerbread :O "
— Mackenzie, 9/15/2010" I was listening to this book, and I got bored and turned it off. It seemed like the same old problems happening to the same old whiny girls. "
— TEENS, 7/28/2010" I read half of this. Then I stopped. It wasn't worth the wasted time. "
— Melissa, 6/14/2010" A less-than-inspiring sequel to Gingerbread that shows Cyd coping with her return from visiting bio-dad in NYC. With a new freedom to roam, Cyd decides to gain some girlie friends and try to make things work with Shrimp. Just stop the whining. "
— Alicia, 6/10/2010" The second book in the series about Cyd Charisse a hip young San Francisco teen, her group of friends, and her surfer boyfriend. She is getting pressure from her parents to go to college. However, she hates school and wants to become a barista. "
