Jess Jordan #5
Dívka, 16 - Čokoládové SOS
Vyzkoušený lék na velká trápení Jess dala Fredovi kopačky a pokud bude ten zbabělec chtít, aby ho vzala na milost, musí znovu dobýt její srdce nějakým hrdinským činem po způsobu středověkých rytířů - nebo jí aspoň poslat esemesku. Fred se však k ničemu nemá a navíc si na něj brousí zuby Jodie. Mezitím se do vedlejšího domu přistěhuje moc prima kluk a hned začne Jess balit. A co teď? Má Jess čekat, až se Fred uráčí padnout jí k nohám, nebo ho nadobro pustit z hlavy a začít chodit s klukem od vedle? Ještě že Jess má na podobná trápení vyzkoušený lék - prostě to chce pořádnou porci čokolády.

One of my favorite YA series! Limb, the author, is hilarious. I was so delighted to discover books #3-#6 in this series! I think one would have to scour used bookstores to find a copy, as they were written in GB, and disappointingly out of print.

Oh I love Jess Jordan I do.
I discovered this series accidently a couple of years ago at my local library and I’ve laughed my way through each book ever since.
Chocolate SOS sees Jess in her newly single life after dumping Fred. Although Jess and Fred apart is totally heart-breaking, it was good to see how Jess tried to move on: enter cute new neighbour, Luke.
I think Luke is a fabulous addition to the awesome characters in this series, he really brings something new and refreshing to the story.
Of course, Jess was totally hilarious throughout and I especially loved the sarcastic comments she was constantly throwing at Fred and the loud mouthed Jodie. It was funny to read Jess’s reaction to Fred’s newly formed relationship. Even though she dumped Fred, she is so not over it!
This is a truly hilarious read and I can’t wait to see what happens next when Party Disaster is released in June!

I actually borrowed this book from a friend who did not like to read it, because she found it kind of boring.
I was so happy when she lent it to me, I was so excited to read it even though it was an exams period and I did not have that much of free time.
When I got home I immediately checked it on Goodreads, and got a bit disappointed because it wasn't as famous as I expected.
Yet, I read it.
And I never regret it.
Because this book made my year.
It is definitely, (till now) the best book I read this year.
Five days ago, I started reading it, and every day, it was my cup of tea.
I loved that part of the day when I sit and read this beautiful cheering book.
I loved the high school atmosphere, the teenagers theme and stuff..
I enjoyed how Jess was trying to live her life after dumping Fred, feeling a huge mixture of feelings like rage, regret, sadness.. and of course jealousy.
It never is easy to see the guy you love with another girl, the most loud and popular girl of the class; Jodie.
(She kind of reminded me of plenty of girls I know like her in real life)
Anyways, I loved the entire story, the feelings and memories Jess gets when she's all alone, her disability to get attached to any other guy after Fred, and how she wants him to apologise or at least, show her that he's feeling guilty instead of hanging around with a girl, trying to make her jealous. AND HE DOES, INDEED.
But did she ever managed to make him jealous by hanging around with the boy next door? It does not seem so.
I loved the ending, the coincidence after the kiss, how Luke told her the truth about himself, and how it happens to be exactly the same as hers.
It's sad that I did not read the previous books of this series, though it was not hard for me to understand the events. But I will be glad to read them if I had the chance to.
I recommend this book, to those who just broke up with their mate, and those who want to get rid of the negative vibes around them.
This book will definitely manage to cheer you up.
My rating: 5 stars {Definitely worth it}

A clumsy heroine, a cowardly ex, a bubbly girl chasing said ex and a hot guy next door. A recipe for disaster? Definitely where Jess Jordan is concerned!
Jess has just dumped Fred. Why? Because he dumped her in the deep end, leaving her to organist a charity dinner all by herself before turning up and stealing the show! But really, all Jess is waiting for is for Fred to perform a chivalrous act to win her back. Only, soon, over-enthusiastic Jodie has her eyes set on Fred, and Jess is furious. But then… hottie Luke moves in next door. Can getting Fred back really be as easy as making him jealous? Well, Jess will find out soon, that’s for sure!
I’m not sure how I thought I would find this one. I guess I was thinking that, being oh-so-mature myself, I wouldn’t find Chocolate S.O.S quite as funny as I did. But the wonderful and wacky range of characters were ever amusing – even the gloomy, scary Mr Barclay. Yes: what I got was a book that really did make me laugh myself silly. With a loveable lead gal, a hot boy-next-door and a “spineless” ex-boyfriend, with a love square like no other, Chocolate S.O.S was really funny! In other words: an awesome book!
Jess Jordan was funny – and kind of a drama queen! She was really, hilariously snarky and rather absent-minded. But I loved that she was also a really quick thinker, because it made her really imaginative and witty. In social situations, Jess really did have to be the unluckiest person ever, and sometimes her own worst enemy. I mean, sometimes she believed her own lies! Clutzy, eccentric, bonkers and melodramatic, Jess Jordan was hilarious! She absolutely killed me! But I could also tell that Fred had really hurt her and she still really loved him… Though, her not-thinking-about-Fred routines were absolutely bananas and really funny!
Flora Barclay was the best friend: sweet, supportive. I loved Flo: she was such a good friend! Poor Flo’s family was having a little bit of a crisis, and even though she did have a few minor saying-things-wrong crises, I knew she really loved Jess and that she was, as I said before, really sweet.
I got an outsiders view of Fred Parsons: having not read the books before (except for one before my blogging-days), I was purely judging Fred based of Chocolate S.O.S. I must admit, he baffled me for a while. He had the weirdest way of delivering compliments, and he seemed rather spiteful and odd. I couldn’t figure him out, couldn’t tell what he was thinking. Did he still love Jess? Did he just not care? What I did know what that he was absolutely hilarious – sarcastically and ironically funny. He was in his own words a coward, but I think, really, he’s just shy and maybe insecure.
Luke Appleton, Jess’ new next-door neighbour, was cute, great at cooking and surfing, plus he had a cute smile… He was really polite, but also really confident: rather (in Jess’ own words): “daring and unexpected” in his actions. In my opinion, Luke was wonderfully bonkers and really funny, rather pushy and unpredictable – in a good way. But I found myself wondering more and more what his past was, ‘cause I’m still not sure about the story he gave us…
Luke and Jess were so cute together. They really made me laugh! Dressing up as vamps, chasing each other: they were like little kids! And they wanted zombie babies on leads… And now I do too!
Jodie was a bit of a drama queen, as well as being really loud mouthed and energetic. Almost annoyingly so. She was occasionally sweet – ok, normally, always sweet, but as she’s after Fred and Jess doesn’t like her for that, I don’t like her either.
I love the family dynamics in this, the range. You have Jess’ close-knit, cosy family. The relaxed librarian mother, the sweet, funny, totally loveable gay father and the homicidal-obsessed grandmother (on TV, not in real life! She was hilarious, slightly inappropriate and really sweet!). The ideal family, all of whom felt so, so real to me: I just loved them! You also have Flora’s more privileged family, with her stern father and graceful mother. Luke’s family was also really lovely: just him and his dad, both of them really close. Still not sure about his Mum… something makes me think the story he gave isn’t the truth…
I really do not read enough funny books. Chocolate S.O.S made me realise that I can’t remember the last book I read that can be classed under comedy. Shocking, seeing as I do love a good laugh!
And I found Chocolate S.O.S hilarious! Jess was brilliant, Fred was snarky-funny, and all the other characters were funny in one way or another. But the scene that killed me most was one between Luke and Jess, when they were discussing how a fictional guy would kill his fictional girlfriend. I was almost crying by the time that scene had finished! Somehow Sue managed to portray various dramas in a way that cracked me up – even when I probably shouldn’t be laughing! I found myself laughing at the silliest little every-day chore: Jess was just so bonkers and funny!
The writing was stunning! Normally, I’m not keen on the 3rd person, but I loved the way this was written! I totally got to know Jess and quickly fell in love with her wacky personality. I felt what she did, although my sympathy and cringing were usually accompanied by rather a lot of giggling. I love Sue’s writing: simple, teen and completely hilarious! As for Jess’ tips on getting over your ex… they were absolutely hilarious! And so original! (Lots of choccie involved, of course!)
Now, the chapters are dangerously short: be warned! The kind of short where you go: ‘oh, five pages… It’s only midnight!’ And you end up reading the whole book! I read the book in one day, one day only, with many breaks to do your everyday stuff. It was addictive, hilarious and pure awesome! I loved every moment: even the cringey bits! The bonkers-ness is just irresistible! I can’t wait for Jess’ next book!

This book was funny but just not for me anymore. I should have read this wayyyy earlier and maybe then I would have enjoyed it. But now it was just very childish and Jess was kinda very annoying.

This was a very easy read and a good book. However, I picked this from a charity shop and it's clear that the intended audience in more pre/early teens, rather than a 20 year old. This wasn't my favourite but not because of any fault o the writer but because I was not the intended audience.

L'édition française aura zappé de traduire le tome précédent Girl, 16: Five-Star Fiasco. Cela aurait pu expliquer pourquoi la mère de Jess file un mauvais coton et pourquoi son père squatte chez eux, après avoir tout perdu (hein ? quoi ? comment ?). Parfois, je vous jure... Sans quoi, le ton général est plutôt drôle, mais un peu forcé aussi. Les déboires de Jess ont sincèrement déteint sur l'ambiance générale (elle a rompu avec Fred et s'en mord les doigts, le garçon sort déjà avec une autre fille, le goujat !). J'ai ressenti comme une certaine morosité dans l'air, j'ai moins accroché que les autres fois.

I decided to read this book because it was the next in the series. It fits into the category a book written by a female author. I can't remember any quotes from this book. Something I learned from this book was not to assumptions. A character from this book that I found interesting was Jodie because she seemed like a very interesting person and if she was real I would like to meet her. I also admire her confidence and strong personality.

April 20, 2012I loved it! It was really funny and I love Fred but Luke is awesome too! It would be sooo cool to live Jess' life with all the dramas and laughs she has in it!

Not my favourite Jess book in the series. I found this to be the first time that I really didn't like the character of Fred. I found he was immature and annoying. I really started to love the character of Luke instead!
