Have you ever wanted to live the life of the rich and beautiful?? Zoey Dean does a great job of making you feel like one. “ ‘ Rich Americans! From Beverly Hills, California;’ shouted Sam in English. ‘ My father is Jackson Shape. The famous actor! (Dean 266) ’” That’s the line Samantha Sharpe always uses to get out of a tight situation. Which is often….
From the last three books, a girl named Anna goes to Beverly Hills at the middle of her senior year. She graduated early and is heading off to Yale in the fall. She decides to move to Beverly Hills until the summer because she wanted to find herself, start something new. While she’s in Beverly Hills, she falls in love, and makes new friends, with enemies as well.
This book begins when she finds that she needs to take a break from boys, her perfect mother (being perfect gets to a point when it annoys you,) and her rehab-stunt- sister. She takes her dad’s offer on going to Mexico. While she’s driving there, she realizes it’s going to be a long car ride, but not for long. In Mexico, she starts letting out her wild side.
In the book, I liked how Dean puts many different conflicts to keep you awake. Even though there’s more than one series, if you read any one of the books, you won’t feel that you have to read the other books to understand the one you’re reading, (If you just picked up a book from the series and you haven’t read the ones before it.) Dean fills you in on what happens in the books before it, bits by bits. The further you read on, the more she recaps about what happens before that book. I also liked the reaction you get after reading a chapter. Like you might feel surprised, sad, happy, excited, disappointed, etc… It makes the book that much more interesting. Dean also gives a lot of sensory details so that you can picture the setting and the action that going on.
Tall Cool One shows you that’s it’s okay to have a little fun and that you should be happy with the way you are/look. Sam tries dealing with her body image and have someone who will actually like her for who she is and not her famous dad. Oh, and Anna, Anna, you’ll just have read about her. All I can tell you is that this a great book that you should defiantly read. I recommend this book to teenagers because they can relate....less
