Virgo: A very fat man will sit next to you on the bus, and he won't have had a bath since Christmas. So begins the story of Jess Jordan.  Each day begins with a funny horrorscope from her absent dad that gives her a laugh.  But being a 15-year-old girl isn't filled with laughs.  Take, for instance, Ben Jones.  He is the current object of her affection but she is sure he doesn't share her feelings.  And her perfect best friend, Flora, who tends to get all the guys.  And her amazing imagination that sometimes gets her into trouble.  And then, of course, there's the minestrone soup.  You'll have to read the book to find out about that.  If you are a fan of Louise Rennison or Meg Cabot, you are sure to enjoy this book.
