Plot Summary of Second Helpings
"In this sequel Jessica "not so" Darling is another year older but not so much wiser. She is still trying to deal with her overly helpful family, still wrestling with the question of to date or not to date Marcus Flutie, and still trying to tolerate her all too typical high school friends. When the time comes for Jessica to apply to college everyone thinks they know what's best; her family, her friends, her teachers, and her boyfriend. But what does Jessica really want? "
Stacie M Eisemann, Resident Scholar
