Outside Reading

   This week I started a new book called, The Summer I Turned Pretty, by Jenny Han.  So far, it is a really good book.  It is about two families that have been friends forever, and they always go to the beach during the entire summer together.  In one family is the narrator, Isabella or Belly, her brother Steven, and her mom Laurel.  In the other family are two boys, Conrad and Jeremiah, and their mom Susana.  Belly has always liked Conrad, but at the part I am at now, she is starting to develop feelings Jeremiah.
   I haven't read that much, but so far it is a really good book.  One thing that I like about Han's writing is the way she writes the book.  Her chapters aren't that long, which I like.  She also will go back in time when Belly was younger and talk about things that happened at that time.  I find that a little confusing because at times I don't know wether it is happening at that time or in the past.  I think I just have to get used to it.  It is a really good book, but I think girls would like this book more than guys.
