I have a friend going through a bit of a slump and she’s not much of a reader but would like to get more into it so she watches less TV. When I asked her what her favorite show is, she said Jersey Shore. Judgment aside, does anyone have recommendations about literary guidos, fictional fist pumping, or Snooki-like protagonists?

Light reading with a Jersey flair: the entire Janet Evanovich series about reluctant bounty hunter and Jersey girl Stephanie Plum. They’re actually kind of a hoot. The first book is *One for the Money.* They’re also good audiobooks if your friend is a reluctant reader.
She might like Jackie Collins… start with Lucky.
Sloppy Firsts by Megan McCafferty. The first book in a series of YA novels that take place on the Jersey Shore. The narrator isn’t Snooki-like, but makes plenty of snarky observations about her Snooki-like classmates.
