Jan 05, Victoria Scott rated it really liked it Shelves: posted-on-blog. If you're looking for a light, happy read, this is it. It took me a day to read, and that's not all in Sundae Girl go. You know, procrastinating on the internet, going out and meaning to buy clothes, etc etc. Despite it being short, I adored it. Let's start with Carter. He is the absolute cutest kid I've ever laid eyes on. If I was 13, I would want him to take me on dates. As Sundae Girl is, I'm happy with being his best friend. And shipping him and Jude like mad. Here, let me con If you're looking for Sundae Girl light, happy read, this is it. Here, let me convince you of his adorableness. Valentine's Day. Carter has been crushing very noticeably on Jude for Sundae Girl while now, so we expect him to do something. And Sundae Girl does he do, you ask? He sneaks little lollies,Candy Conversation Hearts for Valentine's Day with messages on them - kiss me, hug me, I love u - into her books, and bag, and locker, and even her boots after sport. I mean, what Sundae Girl could you possibly ask for? Sundae Girl loved how he refused to give up, no matter how many Sundae Girl Jude refused him. He was by far the best bit of this book. Although, I would've Sundae Girl a little more detail about those two. He just liked her, and that was that. He seemed like the kind of guy that gets bored easily roller-skates and BMXing, for example. What made her the exception? While we had the light-hearted Carter, it wasn't all fun and girly. Jude's Mum was the centre of the plot. She was, although she wouldn't admit it, an alcoholic. She denied it furiously, and even her parents liked to pretend it wasn't happening. But Sundae Girl was. She made Sundae Girl, she embarrassed Jude, she treated her parents and her boyfriend horribly. But she was what made the book more real. She gave a reason for all the other Sundae Girl bits that wouldn't have made sense. Plus, she made me like Jude, because I felt so Sundae Girl for her. Sundae Girl could go on about this, but I really don't want to ruin it for you. Because you are going to read it, right? The Sundae Girl thing I'd change is the length. It was meant to be a short, sweet book. But I really wanted more detail. I Sundae Girl to know if their happy ever after really lasted. I wanted to know what Giovanni the Mum's boyfriend did in his spare time, and how they met, and all those sorts of things. I wanted to know more about the grandparents. Really, I wanted more depth. However, that's not to say it wasn't still amazing! A perfect book to get out of a reading slump, or when you just don't want to think. View all 5 comments. Cathy Cassidy - Wikipedia Written by guitarist Chris Steinthe song was Sundae Girl by Debbie Harry 's cat, who was named Sunday Man—the cat had recently run away, inspiring the song's "plaintive" nature. The single was a number 1 hit in the UK and Ireland and reached the top Sundae Girl in several European countries. It has since seen critical acclaim and has been included on several compilation albums. Stein recalled, "I wrote that one all by myself, but I was so nervous about having my own song, I asked [ Debbie Harry ] to put her name on it. We left [the credit] to me in the long run. Stein explained, "The cat ran away we were very sad. It was just a sort of plaintive, evocative number. The early demo of the song had impressed producer Mike Chapmanwho was initially wary of Sundae Girl band's sloppy performing. Blondie recorded a French-language version of Sundae Girl track. It also appears on the cassette release of Eat Sundae Girl the Beat. For Blondie's first greatest hits album The Best of Blondie inproducer Mike Chapman created a special mix which incorporated one verse sung in French. The bilingual version appears on the compilation Greatest Hits. The single reached number one in the UK, topping the charts for three weeks in May The single also reached number one in Ireland and was a top ten hit across Europe. Despite the commercial success abroad, the song was not released as a single in the band's home country of the US. In Blondie themselves re-recorded the song and offered it to be included in the CBGB's film soundtrack. The compilation was part of a 2-disc set called Blondie 4 0 Ever which included their 10th studio album Ghosts of Download and marked the 40th anniversary of the forming of the band. Rolling Stone wrote of the song, "The melting, Sundae Girl 'Sunday Girl' features Debbie Harry's voice at its thickest Sundae Girl most cynically sweet, proving she was always a one-girl girl group. Paste ranked the song as the band's Sundae Girl best, calling it "among the band's best pop efforts" and writing, Sundae Girl lines like 'I know a Sundae Girl from a lonely street, cold as ice cream but still as sweet' bolster the catchy hook and show the band's reverence for complicated-but- all-too-familiar teen love stories. The shoegazing band Lush performed the French version of this song for their Black Sessions. Lush frontwoman Miki Berenyi stated during an interview that she had been "completely obsessed" with Blondie when she was younger, praising the band's lyricism. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
