Explanation To Books The Book of Luke

Emily Abbott has always been considered the Girl Most Likely to Be Nice -- but lately being nice hasn't done her any good. Her parents have decided to move the family from Chicago back to their hometown of Boston in the middle of Emily's senior year. Only Emily's first real boyfriend, Sean, is in Chicago, and so is her shot at class valedictorian and early admission to the Ivy League. What's a nice girl to do?

Then Sean dumps Emily on moving day and her father announces he's staying behind in Chicago "to tie up loose ends," and Emily decides that what a nice girl needs to do is to stop being nice.

She reconnects with her best friends in Boston, Josie and Lucy, only to discover that they too have been on the receiving end of some glaring Guy Don'ts. So when the girls have to come up with something to put in the senior class time capsule, they know exactly what to do. They'll create a not-so-nice reference guide for future generations of guys -- an instruction book that teaches them the right way to treat girls.

But when her friends draft Emily to test out their tips on Luke Preston -- the hottest, most popular guy in school, who just broke up with Josie by email -- Emily soon finds that Luke is the trickiest of test subjects . . . and that even a nice girl like Emily has a few things to learn about love.

Assessment Epithetical Books The Book of Luke

This book was a trainwreck that happened in really slow motion. It started off kind of shaky but then picked up speed and then it just kind of crashed. And for about 150 pages it just kept getting worse and worse. It's a totally cliche story. Character development is weak and there's so much pointless dialogue that you feel like you're totally drowning in lame conversation. Skip.

There's a quote in the book that I think best describes Emily, it says something like "Doing nice things doesn't make you nice if you don't mean it; it just makes you a liar." coz that one sentence fit her to a T. Throughout the book, she keeps saying that she is tired of how people label her as a nice person. She does things that is the opposite of how she feels but she'd do it because it was the right/nice thing to do. So its no surprise that Emily eventually tries to get rid of her goody two

I had a really hard time relating to the main character. I can't really believe that someone who is supposedly so nice could do what she did to Luke. It makes it look like her being nice for most of her life was just her being fake; she was only nice because that's the correct way to act. I also don't see how continuously lying could ever seem like a good idea; of course it's only going to cause more problems in the end. She had so many chances to tell the truth. I have no clue why she would

This review might come across as harsh, and I apologize...I'm just in a bad mood.On my Young Adult Contemporary Romance Spree, I stumbled upon this book and decided to give it a shot. My thoughts at the end of the book was--meh. I thought the book wasn't that bad but it wasn't great either. Although the story is a bit different from the books I've read, I think the execution was pretty meh. Yes, I'm using a lot of "mehs" because this book should've been called 'The Book of Meh'. No joke. I

Let me start with the fact even the title has the love interests name in it. What?! Come on. Why aren't we teaching young readers NOT to fall for the vacuous, selfish and frankly RUDE guy at school who expects you to like him, and the rubbish way he treats you, which inherently suggests he's not that bothered about making an effort with you. Because, let's face it, why does he need to?The thing is, I actually read this book as a young teenager and loved it. Since then I've become more critical

I like reading teen contemporary romance because it's closer to the reality of what could happen to me (hopeless romantic in me thinking), or at least most of the time it is, but this was nothing special.I actually got extremely annoyed with the female characters--they're all made out to be snobby and controlling of their boyfriends--which is already true for 75% of the female population. Give guys a break, jeeze.
