When she was nine, Megan Meade met a group of terrible, mean, Popsicle-goo-covered boys, the sons of her father's friend -- the McGowan boys. Now, seven years later, Megan's army doctor parents are shipping off to Korea and Megan is being sent to live with the little monsters, who are older now and quite different than she remembered them. Living in a house with seven boys will give Megan, who has never even been kissed, the perfect opportunity to learn everything there is to know about boys. And she'll send all her notes to her best friend, Tracy, in...
Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys
REVIEW:
I picked up this book as soon as I saw its title. I mean it seemed so funny, girly, light and swoon worthy.
But alas, the world is not a wish granting factory :(
Don't get me wrong. The book is sweet but it doesn't offer anything new. It is cute but cliquey.
Megan Meade, the novel's only saving grace, is an army brat who never got to stay in a place for long. Every time she came even close to settling down, her parents got transferred. However, this one time, she draws the line and refuses to go to another army base in Korea.So, her parents leave her with their family friends, the McGowans, who happen to have 7 children, ALL BOYS.
A single 'never been kissed' girl moves into testosterone heaven.
Her first day at McGowan house was really funny. Unfortunately, the plot just went downhill from there. Mainly because the novel wasn't focused on ALL McGowan boys (it should have included the father too, if you ask me). And it also didn't seem as if Megan was actually living, like living, with so many guys.
McGowan #1 or McSpicy (I really didn't bother with their real names) is school's most popular guy with an annoying girlfriend.
McGowan #2 is the nice guy.
McGowan #3 is the punk.
McGowan #4 is different. I liked him.
There are 3 more but they are just there.
Megan Meade's Guide to the McGowan Boys
Observation #1: Being an army brat sucks. Except that this is definitely a better alternative to moving to Korea. Observation #2: Forget evil, laughing, little monsters. These guys have been touched by the Abercrombie gods. They are a blur of toned, suntanned perfection.Megan Meade will have to juggle a new school, a new family, a new crush -- on the boy next door, as in next bedroom door -- and a new life. Will she survive the McGowan boys?
Observation #3: I need a lock on my door. STAT.
Observation #4: Three words: six-pack abs.
Observation #5: Do not even get me started on the state of the bathroom. I'm thinking of calling in a hazmat team. Seriously.
Observation #6: These boys know how to make enemies. Big time.

The plot also did not offer anything new. It was the same old new girl in town story who abra-ca-dabra becomes popular. Also, the end seemed really incomplete. This book had potential however, it disappointed.
RATING: 2/5 Stars
