Rachel Cohn had me at page 19. That's where she mentioned babies (and may I quote, "apple-cheeked babies so adorable that you just want to pick them up and smother them in kisses") and I just keeled over and fell in love with the whole thing. If that didn't make sense, then you should know that: one of my Achilles' heels are BABIES! I JUST CANNOT RESIST EVEN THE MERE MENTION OF THEM.
Okay, that was a bit out-of-the-point. But I love this book, I LOVE how Cohn writes! It's like she has her own voc...more

This book is fiction but it could also call it realistic fiction. This book is the second in its 3 book series. Shrimp is about an already developed character named Cyd Charisse who just returned from New York, where the last book left off. In this book Cyd charisse returns from New York and is ready to get the love of her life back Shrimp. To briefly summarize this book, a girl named Cyd Charisse nicknamed CC is trying to get whom she believes is the love of her life, Shrimp back. Along the way she meets a girl named Helen who becomes her best friend and Alexi her driver’s nephew who she hates at the beginning of the book but by the end she grows to appreciate. She also befriends the least excepted character Autumn who is the reason for her and Shrimps break up in the first place. I think this book was very interesting. I like how they setup the characters like Alexi the horrible as CC calls him I like how once they introduced him I thought immediately that oh of course they are going to hook up or something in that manner . I am not going to give it away but you will be surprised about what happens between them, I was. This book was descriptive enough it was enough for me to visualize but not too much where it gets boring. Like one scene stuck in my head is where something romantic may or may not happen with CC and Alexi. I also like too other scene with one where CC gets high and goes looking for munchies at shrimps house and he brings her to the freezer for hot pockets and she kisses him but he tells her it just wants to be friends for now and then get into the sexual stuff later maybe. Then later in the book they still pretend to be “just friends” but they end up in CC`s shed and they begin to hook up and now this time Cyd turns Shrimp down and says he was right they should just be friends for right now. I think girls are the mostly candidate for reading this book because it is about a girl growing up and maturing so young girls can relate to her. I think you would like this book if you like the book series the Seven deadly Sins because they are both teen dramas in a less of Gossip girl kind a way its not about rich girls acting like idiots. Those are the people I would recommend this book too.

Shrimp by Rachel Cohn (Simon and Skhusters children publishing division. $6.99) is a contemporary book that is the second of its kind. Shrimp is Rachel Cohn's fourth book.

After graduating college with a B.A., she moved to San Francisco, where she wrote her first book Gingerbread. Soon she moved back to New York, and published numbers of books. Cyd...more

In spite of her motley past, Cyd Charisse, recovering hellion, is such a mixture of naiveté and wistfulness that you can't help but be in her corner. In her first book, Gingerbread, Cyd backslid a few times too often and was shipped off to New York City to spend time with her 'bio dad.'

In Shrimp, Cyd is back home in San Francisco and beginning her senior year at her alternative high school. She is in a hurry to reclaim her lost love and soul mate, Shrimp. With this mission in mind, Cyd Charisse...more

The follow up novel to the fun and spunky "Gingerbread" is even better than expected and it succeeds in drawing the reader deeper into the colorful world of teen Cyd Charisse. I would strongly suggest reading the first book to get the full effect of the depth the author has created, after all knowing where Cyd comes from makes her future even more interesting! Cyd is on the lookout for romance, good food and new friends and finding that perfect cup of coffee someone has her obsessed with...

Cyd Charisse's complicated life continues in book two, with a focus on Shrimp and the mixed-up feelings CC has for him. He is her soulmate? Her one and only, or just her first true love? There's more confusion with the relationships CC has with her half-siblings and parents. I'm really glad I read this novel and will most definitely pick up the last one in the series, but I must say that this novel left me feeling really churned up.

I never read Gingerbread, even though it’s the first in the series/trilogy. I started with Shrimp. And I have to say, I wasn’t lost one bit. Cohn makes it so you don’t feel as though you’re missing out on anything important and MUST start with Gingerbread, and that’s a plus for me.

As far as characters go, Cyd is very likeable. I love her voice: it’s relatable, edgy, spunky. And Shrimp – he’s adorable. At first the two of them seem shallow and underdeveloped, but then their personalities expand...more

Expositon:Cyd Charess is a seventeen year old girl. Just coming back from visiting her biological dad, Frank, she is exited to return home on her birthday. She came home to her favorite food cupcakes. Getting back to her normal routine she realizes she is still broken up with her old boyfriend, Shrimp. She goes to his usual spot where he goes to hang out only to find out he is not there. She finds out that he is still on his trip in Austalia with his parents. Other then that she finds out her old crush, Shrimp's older brother, is engaged. Going on a walk she meets a girl at her school Helen. They become friends.

Conflicts:When Shrimp gets back a few weeks after school started he claims he just wants to be friends with her. She verbally agrees but in her head she hates this idea. Almost done with highschool Cyd starts thinking about her future. She wants to own a coffee shop and not go to college. Her mom clearly doesn't like this idea and keeps giving her brochures to colleges. One day Cyd goes out with Helen and runs into Anveli. Anveli is a guy Cyd has always hated. He came back because he wanted a break from college. She now keeps running into him alot but she doesn't mind because she is too focused on Shrimp.

Climax:Wanting to get back with Shrimp she is being constantly reminded about why they broke up. Cyd accused Shrimp on sleeping with a girl he hangs out with a lot. Now everytime she sees Shrimp she sees the girl. With all this going on she finds out her grandma died. Knowing that her funeral is on the same day as the wedding Cyd fights with her mom. Her mother's condition was she has to stay with Aveli. At the wedding Shrimp and Cyd get back together. They both decide that they want to move in after highschool. That would only apply to her because Shrimp dropped out.

Resolution:Shrimp wanted to move back to Austalia, but Cyd did not want to. It doesn't work out for them because she wanted to own a coffee shop and he wanted to travel the world. In the end before he leaves they both get a tatoo to remember their first love. Cyd gets a small shrimp, and Shrimp gets a small coffee cup.

Theme: One of the many themes in Shrimp is Perseverance. Syd never gave up on Shrimp and continued to plot to get him back. No matter how much he insisted on staying friends she kept on it. This is simmilar to Charlie in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Charlie always wanted to fit in with the group. In little ways he always wanted to feel accepted like give them all presents or just by agreeing with them. Their situation were different and Cyd was bolder then Charlie. (less)

There will totally be spoilers in here just kinda thrown in so if you haven't read the book and want to don't read this because I'm going to ruin the ending big time.

The whole book is about Shrimp, now that's to be expected because of the title, but really the whole story is about CC wanting to just have Shrimp because she feels that they are soul mates. Now thats not that bad right? Well if that's how the story went it wouldn't have been, but no. In the end CC decides that she really doesn't want Shrimp so they break up. This really aggravated me for the fact that I felt like I had wasted time reading this book. Not that I loved their whole romance or anything (I honestly thought it was way over the top sexual, which being a teen I understand hormones, but come on! Constantly wanting to bang someone's brains out? I don't think so). From the beggining I figured they'd get together and when they weren't I was mad. Especially since through the first and second book he was all CC could think about. In other words I really really really hated the ending!

Other things I didn't like: The writing style. I felt it was very wordy. Like I felt I was reading someone's diary instead of a story. Also in my opinion things didn't move smoothly from one chapter to another. It was like end one chapter: I asked A&H about Shrimp and then the beggining of the next was something completely different!

Also I thought this book would be funny (especially since the back said it would be) but I found it more aggravating then funny. Even though I did laugh a few times.

Now I did like a few things: I felt like this book moved faster then the first one in the series, and I really do like all of the characters. I just they seemed real to me. For every one of the characters I knew someone in real life that I thought would play them well, so I guess the book was really easy to relate to or just realistic.

I read Gingerbread when I was in middle school, and when I found out there was a sequel called "Shrimp" I couldn't find it anywhere!! But since I have recently reacquainted myself with my local library, I finally came across it and read it. Now, I don't know what the problem was... maybe I should have re-read Gingerbread first because it was so many years ago that I read it, or maybe I just didn't like the story anymore the way I did the first time.

King… Last year, the cat was completely enchanted by the Cohn/Levithan collaboration Dash and Lily’s Book of Dares. The result was first checking out what David Levithan was capable of all on his own… The result: Boy Meets Boy, the perfect antidote to doom, gloom and vampire books. Rachel Cohn’s solo-efforts were a little harder to come by for the cat, though, as both Gingerbread and Shrimp were no longer available, except as discarded library books (like, for real???) for the incredible price of 0.01£ each + shipping charges (again, for real??).

In Gingerbread Cyd Charisse gets kicked out of a fancy New England boarding school after a couple of indiscretions with a certain boy, which also, but not exclusively involved drugs, and returns to San Francisco, where she’s better known as the Little Hellion, a true attestation of her rebellious spirit. In San Francisco, she continues her wild adventures, involving coffee and a boy called Shrimp who she is convinced is her True Love. Cyd’s mother clearly cannot handle Cyd and after she’s been up to one too many tricks she has to spend the summer with her biological father Frank, who she’s seen only once in her life, when she was five, and whose only claim to fame was that he gave her a rag doll – Gingerbread – which Cyd still carries around everywhere, and that he helped her deal with a certain Problem she had. Enter a summer in New York City. In Shrimp, Cyd is back in San Francisco after having spent that summer in New York with her bio-dad and her brother Danny and his boyfriend Aaron. Set on rekindling the romance with her True Love Shrimp, Cyd also has to make decisions about her future: college or no college, Shrimp or no Shrimp.

The question whether Cohn’s books are worth the £0.02 is indisputable (I mean, seriously?). In the Cohn/Levithan collaborations it was never a question as to whose writing the cat preferred, because both authors wrote so convincingly and in character, that it was hard to pick a favorite. But after reading solo work by both authors it’s not difficult to see that Levithan is where the heart lies and Cohn is where the edge is: Cyd Charisse is nothing if not an individualist, tense to the max, outspoken in her opinions, and pushes boundaries like no other. Definitely a character that you can’t like all of the time, lots of angst going on there, almost all of the time!

The beauty of the Cohn/Levithan collaboration, though, is that they make each other better in what they are already good at. This is especially true for Rachel Cohn. Cyd Charisse is the definition of edge. But the edge in Cohn’s writing is definitely toned down by Levithan’s heart. Luckily Cohn doesn’t lose the edge, of course, but it’s quite understandable that for some the Cyd Charisse series might come over as too harsh, too gratuitous, too much like your typical teen rebel story with a character you will love to hate. However, the typical teenage antics that Cyd is up to, are just that: typical teenage antics, hiding away a lot of anger and especially fears and insecurities (there’s a lot of stuff that is unresolved, especially concerning her ‘Problem’ with the boy of the boarding school).

Gingerbread was Cohn’s debut novel. There are a few issues, of course, but Cohn’s witty brilliance definitely shines through, and with Cyd Charisse she’s created a character that you will love to hate at first, appreciate and understand later (Shrimp is definitely more fleshed out than Gingerbread), and maybe even love by the end of the trilogy (don’t know, still need to read Cupcake). Still prefer the collaborations with David Levithan, though…

Meanwhile, Cyd is torn: Between her New York family and her San Fransisco family, between who she is and who her parents expect her to be, between wanting Shrimp back and being angry with him. Quite possibly even better than the first book in the series!

This book was very good. CC wanted her "true love" to come back. She grew up over the summer very fast, when she went to her bio-dad's house in New York. There she meet her step-brother Danny who became her best friend. She was planning on what to do with her life after high school. CC ended up getting Shrimp back, but soon realized in order to go on her in life that she has to leave him.

Finally read this on my Kindle after NEVER being able to find a real copy that matches my Gingerbread and Cupcake covers. It was cool to read more about CC and get to know Shrimp a little better. He's definitely hot (um, sort of reminds me of my boyfriend, actually), but not the "perfect boy," which I guess is a good thing. I'm looking forward to Cupcake.

Quotes from Shrimp

“Why do adults think every girl who isn’t some overachieving nitwit needs to be reassured about her intelligence? Folks, my self-esteem is just fine, thanks. I may not be school smart, and I may do extremely stupid things sometimes, but I know I’m smart. And I’d give me some serious Vegas odds to kick the ass of Sarah Scholar at life-skills moral combat any day.” — 7 people liked it
