Sigh.Lauren Myracle should stop writing books.I mean, I did enjoy her Winnie books, mostly because when I was eleven, I read eleven, and so on, and she carried me through my tween years and had a lot of the same issues I was faced with. I will always appreciate her for that.But I feel she has really said everything she has to say, as far as I can tell. Many many times.And guess what?It's. Getting. On. My. Nerves. Here's a basic plot breakdown of her books:-Our heroine feels restless for someThis one just didn't work for me. The narrator--elder sister, Carly--starts off deep, then becomes incredibly shallow; she's kind and loving and protective of her younger sister, Anna, then she's suddenly spiteful, all because Anna is the prettier of the two.Also, the story felt kind of cliche to me in parts. Carly tries to be a free spirit, her own person, comfortable in her own skin, and she ends up being shallower than her own, "hot" sister ever was. There are other analogies, too, that
I like this but I found Anna (Carly's sister)a bit of a dimwit/crybaby. The one thing I hate about Anna's character was always when she was begging for forgiveness for the things she shouldn't have done in the first place to cause this kind of situation. I kinda also find it hard to believe that Carly would ever forgive her and stand out for her for the times she made a really big mistake. Then there was the time when she refused to take the dive into the water. At that point I just labeled her
I had judged Lauren Myracle for what looked like cloying books but had no idea how good of a writer she was until I read Peace, Love and Baby Ducks. Not one of those "geek chic" books for YA librarians, this book is super relatable.A teen librarian I work with had mentioned that I wouldn't like it because I don't like "girly" books. I just don't like Sarah Dessen. This book has a few pop culture reference but only a few, so it won't date so badly.Dealing with identity, family, school, and
I was pleasantly surprised by this book which I expected to be more annoying in its fluffiness. It's still pretty fluffy, but well paced with some interesting characters.
The Short of ItBaby sister isnt the baby anymore.The Long of ItCarly, the older sister by one year, returns from her summer trip helping the environment. Her parents might secretly think shes a hippie or cause seeker. Upon her return, her newest decision was to stop shaving her legs. Anna is entirely opposite. Even though shes younger only by one year, shes definitely the baby and princess in the family. Anna also fits in with the country club lifestyle that their parents provide (Carly snubs
The reason i read this book was because I read the first page in the book. The first page wasn't the very begining of the story and from what i read, I needed to read more than that first page. It just proves that the begginings of books need to be made intruiging so that people want to read more. This book i have put under my own choice. I decided that this novel was a book that taught me about another lifestyle other than my own, this could include a poor family, a rich family, a book about
