How to Ruin a Summer Vacation by Simone Elkeles
3.0
Well, after reading the Paradise and the Perfect Chemistry books by Simone I definitely can say I´m a fan of her writing.
She has this unique and very fun way to tell a story and I really like it.
So, I had to start this series of hers as well. Just out of curiousity and pure excitement and... hmm, I´m not too impressed.
It sure is a fun little read. With a lot of humour and drama and politics. But it just was not as great as her other novels. By far not. :(
I really liked the way Simone describes Israel and the current situations. But I could not help but be totally annoyed by Amy, the main character. She was just plain annoying.
The ending of the book suggest that her attitude turns around. So I´m hopeful for the sequel.
