How to Ruin a Summer Vacation by Simone Elkeles
5.0
LOVED IT LOVED IT LOVED IT!!
It wasn't perfect and it doesn't necessarily have an action plot which is what I usually enjoy, but it was good nonetheless.
I wasn't so sure if I was going to like the protagonist since she just seemed...spoiled? I don't know how to describe her but I didn't think I would like her. Turns out, I LOVED her. She is so snarky and tells it how it is. I connected with her and it's probably because I'm as blunt as she is. She's an insecure girl who is lost and confused because she felt that her father didn't want her. I love her attitude!! I don't know what that says about me but I do. :)
I basically loved all of the characters in this book. They all had their own unique personalities so there was a lot of diversity. There were also a few Jewish lessons? I guess you can say, which made me learn new things but that wasn't the focus of the story. That was a part of how Amy started to grow up.
My only complaint is that I wish the "suspense" part of the story lasted longer. I think it only lasted for a page or two so I didn't feel the emotion that the scene should've called for. It feels like a missed opportunity.
