Bella Kirkwood -New York socialite, fashionista, school advice columnist and Oklahoma Cowgirl? Bella doesnt think so either, and shes determined to get a one-way ticket back to her glamorous life in the city, one way or another. But, God has other plans, like new friends, and irritating editor and a mystery that Bella just cant help but stick her nose in.
So Not Happening is the funniest book Ive ever read, and my favorite read of this year. I mean, youd be hard pressed to find a YA novel where the characters dont morph, turn or transits into some mythical teen creature, with really good taste in clothes. Jenny B. Jones has written a snarky New Yorker, named Bella, and I cant tell you how much I LOVE her. She is so fresh, salad would be jealous, and in Bellas mind, her life is a royal mess, but as long as her Jimmy Choos dont have cow poop on them, its not completely over. Bella is very real and believable, and I feel like she could be my sister from another mister. LOL And dont even get me started on Luke Sullivan. He is super hot without even having to take his shirt off. Edward, without the lame sparkles and freaky pale skin. Jacob, without the long Rapunzle hair and need to howl at the moon. Like Justin Timberlake, before.well, you get what mean. Anyways, even with all the hilarity, the book carries a strong Godly message about being open to whatever God may have planned for you, whether that means talking to strange people, or moving to a Podunk town in the middle of Oklahoma, and all without having to bore you to tears.
And though its summer, there was some serious chemistry between Bella and her too-handsome-for-words, cowboy editor, Luke. I love theyre love-hate relationship. Bella cant stand Luke, and for that matter, neither can Luke, but there are more than just snarky words flying between these two. I cant wait to see where Ms. Jones takes her A Charmed Life characters next, and since I came into this series late, it wont be long. This book is the perfect summer read, for the young adult and young at heart!

My Thoughts: The first time I saw this was down the book aisle at Wal-mart. It caught my eye. I just knew I had to read it. We meet Bella who is just a normal girl from New York. She likes fashion and is somewhat spoiled. She is forced to move to a country town in Oklahoma because her mom got remarried to some guy she met on the Internet. Bella gets stuck with two stepbrothers, one which is around the same age as she is. We also meet her boyfriend Hunter from New York. I did not like him at all, from the get go. Something about the guy just annoyed me. We also meet Luke, who works on the newspaper at the new school with Bella. Now, I did like him. Bella finds a interesting story with the football players of town. I don't want to give away the book but this is such a cute story. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments throughout the book. Also, enough quality characters to keep the story interesting. Even though i could see what was going to happen with Bella's best friend, I still wanted the smack the best friend a few times! Arrg! I also really liked Bella and Luke. Their first kiss was so amazing, it had me smiling as it was happening! What is the mystery story behind the football players? What about with Bella and Hunter? Bella and Luke? I can't wait to read book 2.
Overall: Really liked it a lot. Liked the characters and it was a cute story.
Cover: Makes me want to know the story between the green purse and the pig.
