Goodreads: At the end of My Life in Pink & Green, Lucy Desberg had just won the grant that would save her family’s pharmacy—and turn it into a modern eco-spa. Now it’s summer, and the work has begun in earnest. Lucy figures that with the spa opening and her sister, Claudia, home, she’ll have a great summer. But her sister brings a new boyfriend, and their investor brings his extremely irritating daughter, Bevin. Plus there’s a new spa coordinator in charge of the plans, and so Lucy finds herself at loose ends. What’s a girl to do? A makeover, of course. But this time Lucy’s makeover skills might not smooth over the cracks in her happy family . . .
Ope’s Opinion: If you are a middle school student or if you know a middle school student, I highly recommend this book for a good summer read!
The story is a fun read. It will keep your attention from beginning to the end. The story moves at nice quick pace.
Lucy is the main character and she is a contrast between being immature and adult like – which I think is typical middle school students. They are in that time of life where they want to be adults, but are still enjoying their childhoods. I think Lisa wrote Lucy in a way that most readers can relate to that time in their life – no matter what age they are now.
Let me say that even my almost four year old granddaughter loved the cover! She picked up my copy of the book and said, ” Can we read this?”. The nice thing is I felt like I could read it to her – there was no foul language and the characters were ones I wouldn’t mind her knowing.
Rating: Four Chairs – I like this book so much I know several friends to share it with.
My (7th grader) niece was reading this book over the weekend. When I asked her if it was good she smiled and said yes!
