My Big Nose and Other Natural Disasters is downright hilarious. I had to hide my face multiple times in public when I had tears rolling down my face from stifling laughter. The book is classified as "young adult", but I am 25 and loved it all the same. I would recommend it to all my "not-so-young-adult" friends in a heartbeat.
Sydney Salter writes about 17 year old Jory's summer before her big Senior year. Her goals are to knock boots for the first time, find a life passion, and to decide what to do with the rest of her life. She plans to do all this while saving every penny she can in her so called, New Nose Fund bank.
Jory has been lusting after Tyler for 12 months, 7 days and 45 minutes (or something close to that amount of time). She feels like this summer will be her time to shine. He's flirted with her a few times and doesn't seem to notice that shes the "ugly duckling" in her family. On the other hand, he is with a different girl all the time, and shows no desire to ask Jory out on a date anytime soon.
Jory struggles to find her identity in her home life, her friendship circle, her work life and her love life. The natural disasters she brings upon herself are hilarious, and sound to be almost a retelling of what probably actually did happen to the author herself.
