review 1: Hildy's summer looks like it is going to be boring-- nothing but working at a farm stand with her friend Ely and putting up with her annoying younger sister Zelda and her serial dating older sister Gus. When she goes to the mall with her friends, she meets Connor, who is working at a coffee shop, and he asks for her phone number. They go out and click right away, which is a vast improvement on Hildy's previous two and a half dates. Soon the two are inseparable, texting all the time and hanging out. However, Connor becomes a bit over protective, and soon Hildy is wondering if she should wear her bikini in public, call Ely on the phone, or spend time with her girl friends. The course of first love never runs smoothly.Strengths: Short, romantic book with lots of good first re... morelationship details ("Isn't it so cute?"). Attractive cover, and no horrible problems. The diary format will appeal to reluctant readers. Will no doubt purchase.Weaknesses: There are a lot of details skipped over-- this does read very much like a real diary. For example, Zelda is ten but has all kinds of melt downs, and is described as "having a syndrome", but this is never explained. Connor is a bit creepier towards the end than I would have liked, but Hildy realizes this before any major problems occur. Didn't like this quite as well as other books by the same author.
review 2: 1.5 en realidad One or two things I learned about love es un libro que no me ha gustado nada.Es el diario de Hildy, que va contando su verano y como se enamora y tal, me ha faltado mucho fondo de historia, era una cosa más simple que el mecanismo de un botijo y varias veces me ha aburrido soberanamente.Además de todo, el chico con el que sale es un celoso de cuidado que no la deja a sol ni a sombra, llamándola cada 5 minutos, mandándole mensajes de texto, etc... ¡Ni respirar vamos! No he visto tío más agobiante en mi vida, y encima Hildy decía "Ay... es que eso lo hace porque me haba blablablabla"Totalmente insufrible.¿Recomiendo este libro? No. Pero, siempre hay un pero, este libro tiene un nivel de inglés muy muy básico, así que solo recomiendo este libro a los que quieran empezar a leer en inglés. Como un libro de transición al idioma, para que nos entendamos.Pero por el contenido de la historia, para nada recomiendo el libro. less
