Book Overview
Almost sixteen, Iris is five-feet-ten, a straight-A student, and a hotshot athlete who has never broken curfew. So when her mother goes on vacation, how does responsible Iris end up with the car trashed, a disabled hearse in the garage, and a couple of hunky motorcycle guys named Byron and Foster waiting for her phone call? A strong, engaging protagonist propels this fast-moving novel seasoned with laugh-out-loud one-liners. "Full of situations that border on slapstick and peopled by a host of weird characters, the story is a delight because Iris is a delight--funny, ambitious, bright, and tempted to just wrong enough."--Booklist

Good overall
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I thought this book was very good overall. the begining was boring but it got much better. It was a little short though. This book would probably be good for someone who just wants a short read. You might have to get past the boring begining though.
A really, really funny book!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The cover and title of this book turned me off, but after reading a couple of chapters, I couldn't put it down!! It's really funny! I do think to really appreciate the one-liners and situations, the reader should be 13 to 17. Younger kids just wouldn't get the humor. Iris is hysterical, and the characters play off each other so well you wish you could meet them after you're done the book. It's hard to find a humorous young adult novel. If you appreciate funny books, don't pass this one up.
