Peaches by Jodi Lynn Anderson
4.0
Peaches was a pretty good book but it was full of cliches. It's about three girls who would never be friends in real life.. but certain situations happen and they end up bringing them together. All three girls end up working at the same peach farm for the summer, which sounds interesting because I know zero people who have worked on a farm.
Now these girls were okay characters that I either liked or didn't like. Pretty simple for pretty simple girls. Murphy thinks she is all that and a cherry on top. Apparently everyone guys wants to be with her and she's tired of them all. Sounds high unrealistic but whatever helps her sleep at night.
Then there's Leeda, who is super skinny, pretty, popular, and is basically dating the hottest guy ever: Rex. Basically everyone loves her - well, not her mom.. but who needs her love anyways? She has the people of this town falling in love with her.
Birdie, the last of the three, is the chubby one. She's also shy, awkward, and a total virgin. No sex or kisses have come her way which apparently is frowned upon. She has her insecurities about where and who she is in the beginning - like most girls. However, at the end she is no longer her chubby old self and has a boyfriend.. or a friend with benefits.. I don't really remember what he was. Just know she has kissed a boy people!
Now the girls were very cliche and annoying at times. However, I did end up enjoying the book - probably because of wine but I don't want to point fingers at this point. I probably would've liked this book more if it wasn't filled with cliche moments or people. It wasn't a terrible book but I also didn't have a favorite character either. Each girl goes through their own journey to find who they really are.. but did I like any of them after the book? Nope.
