Geena Sloane has her summer all planned out. She’s even thought up a code name for the plan – Operation Girlfriend. Geena’s cousin Hero is coming home from boarding school and is going to work at Triple Shot Betty’s (the world’s best drive-through espresso stand) with Geena and her best friend Amber. It’s going to be a summer of total girly togetherness – complete with lounging by the pool, giggling about boys and toenail painting.It’s going to be perfect, except: Hero and Amber hate each other on sight. They can barely avoid going for each other’s faces with fingernails bared, and you want to know what’s infinitely worse? They both seem determined to draw Geena into the middle of their war. And as if the cousin/best-friend death match thing wasn’t bad enough, there are an odd assortment of gorgeous guys trying to throw themselves into the mix. Fabu. Just what everyone needs, flying pheromones.But when Sonoma Valley High School’s annointed king starts messing with the girls (and not in a good way, in case you were wondering), Geena, Amber and Hero band together to stand up for girls everywhere. If there’s one thing this summer is going to prove it’s that Bettys united are an unstoppable force.
I have yet to find a cozy, coffee book that measures up to my expectations. This was an okay read, but I’m not hugely impressed.I have to give this book credit where it’s due: although this is categorized as a young adult novel, it doesn’t fulfill the cliche of turning every little event into a life-or-death matter. Some mundane things happened and were treated mundanely, and some kind of crazy, gut-wrenching things happened and were in turn addressed as such. That being said, the end was a little cliche. I can deal with a happily-ever-after ending (if I must), but it was all a little too cleanly wrapped up, and in kind of an unbelievable way.I can’t say I’ll pick the sequel up.
This modern YA book is about a girl who goes with a cousin to another city for the summer, to work in a little coffee shop with another friend. Our heroine soon finds out, however, that nothing and no one are really what they seem. It reminded me of Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier, when that girl discovers the same thing.
Maybe I didn’t read the description enough, I don’t like to have too much given away. But this book is about teenagers. I’m raising one, don’t want to read about one too. Only got 17% through the book before I got the impression that she is not going to reach adulthood anytime soon.
The description may have stated there was writing on the front page but I did not realize it until I received the book. I was disappointed as it was a replacement library book.
