LitPick Review
Can you think of a better place to spend summer than New York!? Especially, after a bad break-up and fatal outdoor camp plans! Emma Freeman and Rachel Wolfe decide that at 18 its time to have the holiday of their lives. They agree to become independent, responsible and find work for a whole summer& at least, thats what they were planning on doing. With cash on hand how could the girls not have fun, blow the budget, get totally drunk and meet some super sexy new boys. Though, not everything always goes to plan. Finding a stylish apartment was hard enough but work for Emma turned out to be so much worse. Her dorky boss ensures her painful weeks of annoying jokes and obnoxious comments. On top of her idiot boss, the tension in her work place in increased when she finds out she shares the building with her newest summer crush, who, incidentally she is hiding half her life from. The girls meet some great new people, have a great time and end up one big Hot Mess!!
Opinion:
Looking back on this book I can do nothing but smile and laugh. It was a totally care free and fun loving book. It was so easy to fall in love with the characters and see yourself in their drastic situations. I have lusted, pitied and giggled over the girls many possessions and situations. Being an Aussie girl coming to New York is a dream of mine and this flirty novel only reiterated that for me. I did think that this book was a little simple and predictable but I think that is sort of what I expected. I mean, how deep can summer in NYC go? I also think as this book was written by two authors, Julie Kraut and Shallon Lester, that this would have created a further aspect of difficulty in writing such an amusing novel. Overall I think this was a truly funny, sexy and classy book. It was filled with witty remarks and socialistic themes. I would definitely recommend this book to others, preferably as a beach side summer read or as something to spark up winter.
