RAISIN RODRIGUEZ AND THE BIG TIME SMOOCH: Judy Goldschmidt: Razorbill: Young Adult: 208 pagesIn this sequel to The Secret Blog of Raisin Rodriguez (2005), seventh-grader Raisin continues her blog with two California girlfriends. Her current preoccupation is classmate CJ Mullen (who works as a cartoonist with Raisin on a zine, CoolerThanYou) and getting him to kiss her. Predictably, Raisin is a lot more naive than she seems at first: she doesn't recognize Spin the Bottle when she encounters it at a party; she misses clues that her best friends, Lynn and Jeremy, have become a couple; and she passes up an opportunity for a practice kiss with a boy she doesn't care about.
I enjoyed reading about Raisin’s adventures trying to woo CJ. This was another quick read and an enjoyable book. Judy Goldschmidt had me guessing the whole time…would Raisin ever get to kiss her true love CJ? I would recommend this book to those that enjoyed The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.
