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.
