'This book has what every girl wants in a summer' - Sarah Dessen, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Read the next instalments in The Summer I Turned Pretty Series: It's Not Summer Without You and We'll Always Have Summer by bestselling author Jenny Han.
Koseleg og lettlest. Dette trengde eg etter altfor mange djupe og tunge bøker. Skikkeleg koseleg bok, kosa meg gjennom heile. Vanskeleg å leggje frå meg. Hadde alltid lust å lese meir.
3.5 Sterne
Im Endeffekt ist extrem wenig passiert, aber das Gefühl, dass man nur im Sommer hat, wenn man noch zur Schule geht, wurde einfach richtig gut rüber gebracht.
The first of the series was almost readable but each of the next got worse and worse. Nothing in the plot. Sorry, kid. Discouraged my daughter from reading them. (I serve as a recommender/ screener of books, this was an unlucky choice of her)
Terminado en menos de 24 horas... Y de mi reto para 2015 es:
Un libro de autora femenina
Un libro escrito originariamente en otro idioma ya que lo leí en castellano
Un libro que te haga llorar
Un libro que puedas acabar en un día
Me ha encantado! Jenny Han tiene una forma ligera de escribir pero que te engancha hasta límites insospechados. Me ha encantado que sea mi lectura entre lecturas
Full review on Reader's Dialogue: http://readersdialogue.blogspot.com
Belly is one of those characters that has major flaws but you love her anyway. She doesn't come off looking very good with how she deals with Cam, who seems like a nice boy, but as a reader, you totally understand her feelings and forgive her, hoping that she gets clarity, and gets what she wants. Conrad is a bit mysterious, but you can see why Belly loves him through the many flashbacks throughout the story.
I love the way the flashbacks are done. Woven into the story at places where events happening in the present would trigger them, they don't intrude on the story but fit seamlessly into the arc of the summer's tale. Lacking in-text markers except for "Age 11" etc. at the chapter opening, it's clear when the chapter is memories from the past, and they always illuminate what's going on …

It's a tricky technique but done with great skill and style!
I have the next book, It's Not Summer Without You, and I'm looking forward to reading more of Jenny Han's wonderful writing!
