C comme catastrophe G?niale. Incroyable. Voil? comment aurait du ?tre sa premi?re ann?e de secondaire, mais les choses ne se d?roulent pas comme pr?vu pour Clarissa Delaney. C'est d?j? compliqu? pour elle d'?tre la fille banale d'une vraie reine de beaut?, mais voil? que son meilleur ami Benji ne semble plus savoir se d?fendre, Michael Greenblat n'arr?te pas de lui offrir de dr?les de cadeaux, et Mattie Cohen, la plus grande sainte-nitouche de la classe, croit ?tre son amie. Impossible de faire pire... ? moins que la vie lui r?serve encore des ? catastroph?es ?!
A comme Amour
AMOUR: un mot tout petit, des cons?quences ?normes... Clarissa Delaney n'a jamais vraiment accord? d'importance au mot lui-m?me. Elle est trop pr?occup?e par d'autres probl?mes... en commen?ant par la maladie de sa m?re et la perte de son meilleur ami Benji aux mains d'une bande d'accros de com?die musicale. Comme si ce n'?tait suffisant... voil? que sa copine Mattie la d?laisse pour une amourette et que sa m?re passe le plus clair de son temps avec son bel entra?neur personnel. Clarissa se demande pourquoi les personnes qui comptaient le plus dans sa vie la d?laissent ainsi... puis arrive Michael qui semble vouloir plus qu'une simple amiti?. Est-ce bien l? ce que Clarissa d?sire?
Brilliant. Best-ever. That was how grade seven was supposed to be, but so far things aren't turning out as well as Clarissa Delaney had planned. It's hard enough being the unexceptional daughter of a bona-fide beauty queen, but lately her best friend Benji can't seem to stand up for himself, Michael Greenblat keeps giving her strange gifts and Mattie Cohen, world-class goody-two-shoes, seems to think they are friends. Things can't possibly get any worse... or can there be more "catasrphies" in her life?
Original title: Words That Start With B
Love. Clarissa Delaney has never given much thought to the word herself. She has other things to worry about, like her mother's illness and losing her best friend Benji to a bunch of musical theatre nerds. When her friend Mattie becomes distracted by a crush and her mother starts spending all her time with her handsome personal trainer, Clarissa wonders when she stopped being enough for the people in her life. Enter Michael, who seems to want more than friendship. But is that what Clarissa wants?
In this laugh-out-loud follow-up to Words That Start with B (C comme catastrophe), Clarissa survives two makeovers, discovers a hidden talent for badminton, makes new friends, and learns that while the word may be simple, love itself rarely is.
