It has been a few years since I read the prequel to this novel, Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes
. I recall enjoying the book and the adventures that Ginny has due to her aunt’s notes. When I recently heard that the sequel was going to be published this year, I was excited.
Ginny is a little older and a little more sure of herself, but isn’t certain of the path she wants her life to take. She knows what is expected of her – graduate high school, go to college, have a career, start a family. i.e. settle down for the American Dream. Yet Ginny is having trouble figuring out the specifics in regards to her path to that life. This is something that many teens can relate.
There is fun, adventure and humor. All qualities I appreciate.
Dislikes
This sequel felt a little rushed and a bit forced, as if it was written just because people wanted it, not because it was something that the author couldn’t live without sharing. This isn’t to say it wasn’t a decent read…just that it didn’t quite live up to what I expected.
