Summary: Jack Grammer is a dorky senior at City High School with no love life. With only a few weeks before prom he asks and gets rejected. Two friends, Natalie and Percy, post an ad on the school's website (that everyone sees) that asks all the girls in school to email him if they want to be his prom date (without Jack's permission!). After figuring this out Jack is upset, but is shocked that he received that he not only received a response, but more than 49 (and counting) responses! At LEAST 49 girls wanted to go to prom with Jack Grammer! How do you pick from all these girls? He and his friends narrow to 24 girls and then schedule for Jack to go on dates with them, and then at the end of the week he will choose who he's going to go to prom with!

Why I Read This Book:

I read this book because I had received it as a gift.

Likes:

  • I love Alex Bradly! His writing kept me on my toes and made me keep turning the page even when I was extremely exhausted! He's pretty funny too. :D
  • My favorite character is Jack. Not just because he's the main character, but because he seems like a funny, dorky guy who always stays with his few friends and has some pretty awkward moments! He's clueless about the "opposite sex" and still realizes what's going on around him and his life.
  • I love the situation. A boy in high school who's clueless how to get a girl then changes from a dorky nobody to a popular "player" who's been out with the cutest girls in school.
  • I like figuring out all the pieces to the puzzle. It's really complicated but when everything is spelled out it makes so much sense!

Dislikes:

  • I thought the ending of this book was pretty cheesy. I wasn't really upset about it but I thought that something better could have happened.

Last Minute Thoughts: Is there a second book? I want to find out what happens after Jack graduates and goes to college! What happens with him and Adrian Swift? I want to know!!!!!!

Buy: 24 Girls in 7 Days

Rating: I give this book 4 Treasure Chests!

Is it supposed to be a funny read? Reminds me of a movie from 1987 by Patrick Dempsey called Can’t Buy Me Love. He begins as a nerd, then becomes Mr. Cool.
