Book Review: ¤*A Grrreeeaaatttt Read!!!!*¤
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOVED THIS BOOK! This book is about 400 pages long, but it was so good that I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, and it did not take me that long to read. In this book Macy's boyfriend goes away to "brain camp" for the summer. This leaves her alone at the library where her boyfriend's counting on her to take over his job as a clerk for the summer. She thinks the summer will be terrible until she finds herself working for Wish Catering Company the next week, and wanting to quit her job at the library. Macy comes home to find an email from her boyfriend explaining that he wants to be on a break until the end of the summer when he returns because he has mixed feelings from an email she had sent him earlier. Then she meets Wes, a boy that works for Wish. She has never meet anyone like him, an artist and a great listener. She starts to wonder if she could ever have a chance with him. Will Macy go for Wes, the boy she secretly wants to be with? Or go back to her old boyfriend who makes her feel insecure? READ THE BOOK AND FIND OUT, YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!Book Review: great read
Summary: 5 Stars
this book is about macy queen, a girl who is a straight-laced girl who is prepared to face a boring summer when her equally boring boyfriend, jason, is off at camp and macy must take over his tedious job at the library.ever since her father died of a heart attack (not stabbed to death like other critics are saying), macy has tried to become the perfect person, never taking risks, always walking in a straight line. she and her mom hide their feelings inside about mr. queen's death.
then, one night, she stumbles upon WISH catering. soon, she takes a part-time job there (along with that one at the library) and makes friends Mono-tone Monica and Wes, the hot guy who is somehow oblivious to the fact that every girl he comes across secretly (or not so secretly) "sa-woon"s.
many other factors in the story including macy's sister, the return of jason, many fights between macy and macy's mother all lead up to an extremely satisfying ending.
read it and you'll see what i mean.
Book Review: This book is AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't even describe how much I was pulled into the book. The thoughts and feelings it evoked from me with innumerable. It reminded me of myself, my family members, and most of the world's problems with just living in the moment. The word "fine" has put on a whole new meaning, as it's now used to describe the so-called "perfect" facade most people mask themselves in, which doesn't do justice to anyone in the long run. The characters in this book were really likeable and complex - if there was a sequel, I'd definitely pick it up. This is the kind of book where you actually care about the characters and can see their personalities in many of the people around you.
This is the first one of Sarah Dessen's books I've picked up and it won't be the last. It just held my interest to the very end and it made me think a lot about life, especially love. PICK THIS BOOK UP NOW! You won't regret it, I guarentee. It's now one of my favorite and most thought-provoking books I own.
Book Review: Dessen Does it Again
Summary: 5 Stars
As a long time Dessen fan, I was eagerly awaiting this book, but held off reading it until recently, because I am always disappointed when I run out of Dessen books to read. I must say, this was WELL worth the wait, perhaps my favorite book of hers yet.
This story is much deeper than any of her previous novels, but not overly dramatic to the point that it's too heavy to enjoy. The characters are fun, lovable, exciting, and unique making the story even better. Any young woman will be able to relate to Macy as she deals with the loss of her father, rejection from her boyfriend, and new friendships from a group of unlikely people. I fell in love with the story and the characters.
She performed the magic that most writer's aren't able to accomplish: She took a simple plot and filled it with complex characters to live out the story. I was sad when it ended, but it's definitely one of those books you can read again. Very highly recommended.
Book Review: the truth is this book will forever be a favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
if you want the plot look below but this book is touching. its something that would be made into one of those movies where you love the characters and the love plot. i did not run into one line where i thought "how cheesy"..there were some i will admit that werre iffy but they carried along the story with its distict charm. everyone wants to be perfect once and awhile thats why this book apeals. and everyone wants someone who dosnt want there opposite to be perfect. everyone wants to find themselves and have others accept and no one wants to lose a loved one. this book is all around enticing. it brings out emotions and uses every tone you thought possible. i love books you can relate to and this one hits the spot. its exactly what it needs to be and no joking a shiver ran through my back as i read the last two chapters. its exactly how you want to fall in love and the main character has you rooting for her even when she messes up big time...good book! two thumbs up!
