Greenland, Shannon The Summer My Life Began 250 pg. Speak, 2012. Content - PG. $7.99. Elizabeth Margaret (Em) is restricted by her families rigid set of rules and life outline. She figures nothing will change until an unexpected letter arrives from a mysterious aunt she has never met. Em's aunt invites her to spend the summer at her Bed and Breakfast on the outer banks of North Carolina. Deciding to take the plunge, Em dives into a summer full of romance, freedom, and change and finds that by the end, she is ready to make some life choices she never dreamed she'd have the chance to make.
Definitely a beach read. The story line about family and forgiveness is something we've all read, although there was a major twist. The writing style was simple but kept my attention. The character development was decent, and everything worked out a little too perfectly. Nothing to rave about- just a quick, easy read. MS/HS - OPTIONAL. Whitney, Library-Teacher.
