review 1: My summer of pink and green was an amazing book. I thought that the author did a good job writing it because it was interesting and easy to understand. In then end of the book Lucy became very forgiving. I think that this was good for her because she said and did some mean things to some of the most important people in her life, and she had to work at getting their trust back. Lucy realized the importance of friendship and understood what it takes to be a good caring friend
review 2: Remember Jane Austin's EMMA ? This is an EMMA story, only the time is changed to now and the place is changed to small East-coast town and the girl with the "projects" is Lucy.Lucy has BFF trauma, wanna'boyfriend trauma, family trauma, and this-isn't-happening-to-me-I-don't-want-t... morehis-friend trauma, not-being-taken-seriously trauma, and eco-issues trauma -- all bundled up into opening a family business for which she won grant funding.Wow, is that a lot for one girl's summer? Each chapter begins with a tip from Lucy, which may or may not be fleshed out in that chapter. She's just thirteen years old which begs the question -- what reading audience is this aimed at? There are a few terms the average 13-yr-old might miss-- such as "naan" (an Indian bread) and "pariah". Overall there is humor, frustration, and perhaps all the pieces resolve a bit too simplistically. I'm not sure the average 13-yr-old would relate to a family-owned drug-store cum spa. I think that if the author had added five years to her protagonist and her sister and friends it would have been a better fit for the plot and setting. less
