Perfectly Ridiculous - review

Perfectly Ridiculous is a fun YA novel about a "normal" teenage girl, quirks and all. It is the third in the Universally Misunderstood series by Kristin Billerbeck. Perfectly Dateless was about the start of Daisy Crispin's senior year. Perfectly Invisible was about the end of her senior year and graduation. And now Perfectly Ridiculous is about the summer following graduation when Daisy goes on a mission trip/vacation to South America. This is the stage of life my daughter is in, so I thought she would enjoy it. She hasn't read it yet, but I thought it was fun.

Here's the publisher's synopsis:

 Daisy Crispin is at a crossroads. In one direction lies the promised land—life at college, away from her embarrassing and overprotective parents. In the other direction is reality—her strapped bank account, an ailing father, and family priorities. Daisy knows the “perfect” daughter wouldn’t have to think twice. But maybe Daisy was never really perfect on any level, because she does not want her life to look the way her parents think it should. She won’t let that stop her, though. Now that she has been given an exciting free trip to Argentina before going to college, she’s thrilled—until her parents decide to go along with her.
