A unique and thoughtful story, I was quite surprised by how much I ended up liking this book. I have to admit that this is not the type of book I gravitate towards. The idea, a bunch of Moms creating a book club and pretty much forcing their kids to take part in it, didn't intrigue me. The very transparent way of bringing four completely different girls together, throwing them into a friendship that probably wouldn't last much longer than the end of summer, I thought might come out to be a li

A unique and insightful story. We begin in Delaware during summer vacation.

Well, this book was a big bowl of meh. A bunch of Moms decide to start a book club and force their daughters to join with them, and we have a bunch of girls from very different backgrounds (of course), who get into trouble and at the end there is some unfathomable and thrown it at the last moment tragedy.
There is Bland, oops, I mean Adrienne, who is the human equivalent of tapioca pudding, CeeCee, the bad girl, of course, anyone named CeeCee is going to be a bad girl, Jill, the smart More...

I enjoyed the writing better than the story. Truthfully, the story is really interesting but it is not lively. It doesn’t have a dull moment or anything like that, but somehow, the story lacks zeal. I’m tempted to say the protagonist, Adrienne, is a flat and a tad bit annoying character; CeeCee was a better character because of her outspoken/crazy/look-at-me personality. Simply put, I didn’t care much for the characters at all. The girls were inanely sardonic and bland. Also: I didn’t see the po

This was a pretty interesting read. I liked how the main character Adrienne connected her life to books she has read. The story is about four girls who come together with their moms over the summer to read books to prepare for AP English in the Fall. All the girls aren't really friends in school, but they come together and help each other learn and grow over the summer more about themselves. If you like Sisterhood of Traveling Pants or Peaches Series you would like this story.

As a lover of books, the "book club book" always makes me excited. Needless to say, I'm still looking for one I love. This book has all the right ingredients but for me, fell short. Maybe it's because I love a happy ending. This book had some great lines and parts that were really well written. It just didn't catch my fancy.

I didn't really enjoy this all that much. There were some funny parts, and at times I appreciated the quirky story. The problem is that it moved really slow and by the end, not much had really happened.

Ugh, this book is too dull and I have too many books I could be reading instead.
Might go back to it later.
Yawn.
