LitPick Review
A teenage girl named Pearl Dewitt and her mother move in
with her mother's brother's on his avocado ranch. Her uncle,
Hoyt, employs migrant workers to help pick the avocado
trees. Her relationship with her best friend is being torn
apart when her best friend becomes some guy's girlfriend,
and her relationship with her mother is the usual but is
under stress when her father exits her life. One day, her
uncle hires a young worker named Amiel and she becomes
intrigued with him. They become friends because they both
need a friend and maybe a little more.
Opinion:
I thought this book is somewhat related to Romeo & Juliet because of the romance
and how each character helps balance out the story. I also
thought how each character gives the reader sneak peeks of
the climax and so on. Unlike Romeo & Juliet, the obstacles
that challenge them are not their families but the way life.
Life can easily let our guards down whenever it feels like it.
I definitely recommend this book for YA readers of a
beautiful love story.<
