I'm still reading The Summer I Turned Pretty, by Jenny Han. It is getting really interesting. I'm at the part where Belly is hanging out with this guy she met at a Latin convention. She is starting to like him, but Conrad doesn't really like him. I wonder if Conrad is jealous or just protective. Also, Belly has mentioned a couple times that Conrad and Jeremiah's mom is getting weak. I wonder if her cancer is coming back.
I've gotten used to the author going back in time and going back to real life. I actually enjoy it, because she gives us background information that we need to know. Another thing I like that Lauren Scott mentioned when we were talking about this book in class is that she writes in vivid detail. I actually feel like I'm at Cousins Beach, which makes me want it to be Spring Break really bad! The way she describes the characters makes you feel like you are at the beach, because she talks about everyone being tan. I really am enjoying these books, and I do think that if you are interested in "chick" books, this is a good book for you.

This book is definitely a chick book! I like the way you explain how Jenny Han writes, it definitely gives you an exact picture of what is going on in the setting and location.
