"New Year's Eve" by Caroline B. Cooney was funny and refreshing. It's the story of a group of girls who are looking forward to their big night on New Year's Eve. They get all dressed up, cut their hair and get ready to have the time of their life.Unfortunatly, like more things, especially when you're a teenager, this particular New Year's Eve doesn't work out like they plan, and they find themselves in some pretty racey situations that they never thought would have before...including little brothers, an ex-boyfriend and a turned-down marriage proposal. And, one of the girls finds love where she leasts expects it.I really liked "New Year's Eve." It kept me laughing and wanting to read more...it almost makes me wish I would have read this book as a teenager, and not some 15+ years later...I give it 4 stars.
