This book is strong in character and story.
Summary:
Cyd is not getting along with her family at all. She has been getting very
attached to her new boyfriend Shrimp and sneaking out a night, etc. Eventually,
Shrimp feels a little trapped and suffocated and says he needs some distance
until school starts. Cyd's mother and step-father decide to send her to New York to meet and
stay with her real dad until the end of summer.
I would recommend this book!
Why?
This book is about relationships with parents, friends, siblings, and
significant others. It's about growing up and dealing with life and the
choices, both good and bad, people make. It's about reconciling differences and
coming to agreements with friends and family.
It's a fast and enjoyable read. The reader will care about Cyd and her problems
and will hope she will come to some understanding of life by the end.
