After reading the first book in this series I was hooked and wanted to know more about what happens in Frogs and French Kisses. Rachel's problems go beyond those of her sister and her mother due to the fact she is the only normal human being in the family. Having recently broken up with her boyfriend (or kind of boyfriend), Raf, she asks Miri to plant a love spell on him. Miri at first strongly refuses, but after Rachel undergoes some horrible abuse at the hands of some bullying A-list girls at

Was I the only one who cracked up at the TV-kept-playing-the-sounds-of-music part??HAHAHAHAHAHA NEXT!!!!

YOU GUYS SHOULD READ THIS BOOKNo, really. You should. I'm damn serious at this moment. The ending was surprising.Miri was annoying, I mean, I understand you want to be good and save the world (everyone would want to do good for the world when they have magical powers right?) But she did more-than-enough magic, oblivious of the fact that it can go hazardous and catastrophic. But it doesn't really matter, because she's not the protagonist. The sequel starts when Rachel and Miri try to levitate on

REVIEW: Frogs & French Kisses (Magic in Manhattan, #2), Sarah MlynowskiRATING: 2.5/5 starsI mostly finished rereading this one because it's been on my "currently reading" shelf for about a year. I needed something to take with me to the theatre before my sister's show. I'm pretty sad to be rating this so low, because there are a few standout moments, but most of them only stand out to me because of my memories with the audiobook voice actors. Namely: the line about mono toward the end, to which

Rachel is still annoying, but seems to be learning (at least until the ending). The book got a bit preachy and heavy-handed with the "with great power comes great responsibility" idea. The reference to Spiderman in the book reminded me of the quote. Anyway, stuff happens, things get messed up, more stuff happens and things get "fixed" (more or less). Pretty standard stuff for one of these books.

the first book in the series i read. very captivating. a very upbeat read.

Frogs& French Kisses Random House, Inc, 2006, 275pp., $ 8.99Sarah Mlynowski ISBN 978-0-385-73185-0 Would you rather read a book that is entertaining and funny, or a book that is sad and depressing? A book that is entertaining will make you happy and laugh all the time. It can also, make you not want to put the book down. That is what I felt like, when I read Frogs & French Kisses. I couldn’t put the book down. It was like the book was glued to my fingers. Fourteen year old Rachel spends

Welcome to my 300th book review!!! It felt like going from 100 to 200 reviews took no time at all, but finally getting to 300 has felt like a looong time coming. In reality the time between both of those was 16 months.I didn’t rate this second book as highly as the first one in this series because I couldn’t think of anything I didn’t like in the first book, whereas the same cannot be said for this one. I had some problems with some characters in this book, as well as the content. Miri… Was… Pre...

this one was even better than the first one...so yes, M I am so gonna read the rest of the series! honestly a surprisingly fun read!

Again, some cute & funny moments. Again, pretty self-centered MC.

I expected more of a run-off of the first one toward the end. Boy was I wrong! This book is just as wonderful and heart filling as the first book if not more. This time the love is on her not her father! Lol, so cute and I sat down and only got up twice, once to say "Thanks" to my mom for the book, and the second, to tell my dad that the chickens got in the garage while he was gone, so he wouldn't step in the mess that they left. Clean and very cutesy, this one gives me very high expectations on...

Even better than the first! I am officially hooked on this series. The voice Sarah Mlynowski has given Rachel (the main character/narrator) is delightful, funny, and just the right amount of self-obsessed. There is something just so gosh darn pure about her. It truly feels like a 14 year old in the early 2000s is telling the story and I love that. I was telling my mom about the series and how it feels like Rachel and teenage me were basically the same person (minus the magic and Manhattan). The

I didn’t like this as much as the first book for the simple fact that Rachel’s story didn’t really progress at all. I’ll continue on to books 3 and 4 eventually but not anytime soon. On the plus side, I really enjoy this authors writing style.Side note - not sure where the titles come from. Book 1 didn’t have anything to do with a “Bra” storyline and this one with “Frogs” was the same. Very strange titling.

This was another great read growing up that I wanted to reread as an adult. the writing perspective is just hilarious with Rachel talking about all the typical problems a young teenager goes through with crushes and school life. It was just as great as I remember while growing up

I liked this one better than the first one. I thought the main character showed a little more growth in this one.

I don't want to keep listening to this series, the narrartor is getting too annoying for me.

It was great to see Rachel’s growth throughout this book. She really matured and was significantly less selfish by the end of the book. Her mom and Miri were out of control and unlikeable in this book, but STB aka Jennifer really shone. I will say that Rachel’s and Raj’s chemistry and attraction in this book was still flat and shallow, but hopefully it will develop throughout the series.

A cute sequel In this series about a teen girl, her younger witch sister and witch mother. THis second book picks up right where the first left off and focuses on first loves and saving the world.

This one was deeper than the first one was. It was just as fun and quirky and silly, but it dealt with addiction in a different way. They are addicted to magic, and their lives start spiraling. It's fun at first, but slowly, things start changing. There's no alcohol, no drugs. But it was effective.Also, Rachel grew so much as a character in this one. It started off with her just as superficial as before, but she starts to understand things, and not let things get to her, and I was just so proud

Hi Sarah I would love to see you react to this comment but I love your books! This series is the best and this book and spells and sleeping bags made me feel some type of way I don't know how to explain it. It made me feel happy and excited, just so much emotions at once! Love you, never stop being a great author!
