Ally Ryan, come on down to the Jersey Shore! Have you recently been humiliated at your former best friend's birthday party? Was your almost-boyfriend partly responsible for that humiliation by withholding some vital information about your estranged father? Did you come home to find said estranged father sitting on your doorstep? If so, you really need a vacation! Sun, sea and sand are the perfect way to unwind and forget about your frenemies. Plus, what better way to get over Jake than to hook up with local guy, Cooper. Jake Graydon, an exciting opportunity is waiting for you in the service industry! Are your grades so low you're grounded for the summer? Did you the girl you like unceremoniously dump you? Would you rather eat dirt than see your "friends" again? Then a job at the local coffee shop is just the ticket! Unfortunately, Ally's father is the new manager so you'll be reminded of her nearly every day. Maybe it's time to start flirting with your best friend's ex or even start taking school a bit more seriously. Especially when you finally see Ally and she's hanging around with some loser and it's couldn't be more clear that she is so over you. It's going to be a great summer!

If I was to compare He's So Not Worth It to a current TV show (as I often do), I'd have to go with 90210. There is nothing else that can rival Kieran Scott's ingenious blend of drama, back-stabbing bitchiness and hormonally charged teenagers finding true love at their summer vacation homes. In fact, reading this book is like drinking a cold glass of water on a hot day: you gulp it down, feel momentarily refreshed and then immediately want more. NOW!
This sequel to last year's She's So Dead to Us picks up shortly after where the first book ended. It's vacation time for the residents of Orchard Hill, and Ally Ryan is heading to the Jersey Shore. She needs to escape the humiliation she suffered at the hands of her old Crestie friends, which also means escaping love interest and totally smoking hot Jake Graydon. Ally is definitely someone to admire because I would NEVER have left him alone!
This book digs deeper into Ally's home life and past, with her father gaining a starring role in her life. The dynamic between Ally and her father is great to read, and their relationship shines as one of the best in the series. Ally is still his little girl, no matter what mistakes he's made in the past, and I really like that. Family loyalty goes a long way in life and I'm glad Kieran Scott addressed that in such a strong way. I like her dad, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
He's So Not Worth It is so addictive it's like the pages turn themselves. Ally's relationship with Jake progresses further in the emotional sense, even though for most of the book they aren't together. I love that the story I told from both Ally and Jake's point of view as it really helps to know what they're both thinking. It can also be frustrating at times, though, especially when I know something the characters don't and I just want them to work everything out and live happily ever after. That, however, is looking unlikely thanks to the awful cliffhanger ending of this book. My jaw was literally on the floor after reading it, and I have no idea how my beloved Ally and Jake will get over this little bombshell. Life in Orchard Hill is never quiet (or easy), but I can't wait to find out what happens next. Even more drama is on the horizon!

Another great contemporary read
1 Dec 2011
By Juhina & Farah @ Maji Bookshelf
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The cover is pretty, the synopsis is intriguing, but i have no idea why i didnt pick it up and start reading it. The second book "He's So Not Worth It" also came out, and i also got it, but my TBR list was (and still is) HUGE so it was put in the back burner. Later, when i read somewhere that the series is a page turner, i promised myself id start reading it. Because lets face it, lately all the books are paranormal and you can hardly find a good and mature book (ie, not a tween YA book) that is interesting and fun to read.
boy was i hooked. I finished the first book in less than a day and tackled the second book straight away. Here im glad i only started reading the first when i got the second because Kieran Scott is apparently big on cliffhangers. However the cliffhanger of the second book is 10 times worse than the first book so i still have to wait 8 months until the final installment is released (May 1st, 2012). However even though the first book was slightly more enjoyable and thrilling than the second, i still loved the second book and can't wait to find the end of this fabulous trilogy.
The books are addictive, Kieran Scott knows how to grip her readers, and i recently found out she uses the pen names Emma Harrison AND Kate Brian, both of whom are authors of books i greatly enjoyed. From now on this author(s) will be on my radar for any new published books, because for a lazy day of coffee drinking and lounging her books are EXACTLY what i need.

Review from Worn Pages and Dusty Shelves
26 Sep 2011
By Vivacie
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is complete teen angst. No really. Ally has so much going on
that it's almost a little overwhelming. Still, I am definitely loving
this series. I'd like to point out that even though we do get both
Ally and Jake's POV, we also get Annie's Daily Field Journal (which
is very cute and a breath of fresh air between most chapters). I'd
also recommend this one for older teens.
This time around, Ally Ryan's personality does a 180. She's spending
the summer with her mom, Gray and Quinn as one big happy family,
except Ally is not happy and she wants nothing to do with her mom's
boyfriend. Thus starts the rebellion, with help from Cooper, the local
(very hot) guy. This 'rebellion' lasts the whole book. Ally is
drinking and living it up with Cooper. Cooper seems cool, but he has
his nasty side when he's drunk and a few problems of his own-
otherwise, he's a good character with a bad influence.
Jake is having Ally withdrawals and he's grounded the whole summer.
He's also having to take classes with Chloe (who also does a 180).
I don't particularly like Jake this time around. He's supposed to be
all into Ally and yet he doesn't think twice about jumping another
girls bones. I guess this can also be said for Ally, but Jake just
seemed so genuine that his behavior was enough to make me snarl my
nose.
Let's recap Ally's problems 1) Shannen humiliated her, 2) Jake didn't
tell her about her dad, 3) Her dad is trying to wiggle back into her
life, 4) She's staying down at the shore, where she totally doesn't
want to be, 5) She hates her mom's boyfriend, 6) Her moms is forcing
her back into her old crowd, regardless of what they did to them, 7)
Does one person really need all these problems?
The list goes on, seriously. Ally has more problems in one summer than
I've had in my entire lifetime. One that really stands out is her mom
pushing Ally back with the Cresties. Not to mention her mom wanting
back in as well. Those people torn Ally and her mom to shreds and yet
they (yes they) still want to be apart of the hate-fest? This made me
lower my score to four stars. I absolutely could not stand it.
Assessment: Her mom is completely psycho.
I don't think HSNWI quite lived up to the first book. In it's own way
it's still pretty awesome. It does grace us with yet another cliff
hanger- this one even more shocking than the last.
Will I be reading book number three? Do you even have to ask?
