This book is about what happens to Carina after she tells the whole world about her father stealing money from his charity. Carina’s dad tries to send her to a school in California, and that for Carina means no more doing her sports, and seeing her best friends Lizzie and Hudson. Being best friends since they were little girls, Lizzie and Hudson would never let that happen. They call Carina’s mom, and her mom gets Carina sent back to New York City because of her mom and dads divorce agreement. Now, Carina lives on 20 dollars a week, and she can spend it on whatever she wants. The only problem is that her crush invites her to go on a ski trip with him and a group of people and Carina can’t come up with the money. So she has to help out with this charity event in order to get the money. Along the way, she meets someone that helps her solve her problem to the charity event. This is the second book in The Daughters series. I thought that the first book The Daughters was a little better. I thought that this book was okay because I thought that it would be more about the character Lizzie. Because in the first book it was all about her and she seemed like the main character. So I thought it was interesting how the author wrote the second book and made the main character someone else. Through out this book, and when I finished it, I learned not to take advantage of things especially that it takes place in New York City, and that’s where I live. Well, I knew that before, but after reading this book, it made an emphasis on it. Also, since it takes place in New York City, it makes it more relatable and how you should be thankful and appreciate that you live in such a great city.
I thought it was ironic that the introduction to this book is all about how we are a nation consumed by fear, but then the rest of the book is essentially trying to scare you into not using any product that is on the market right now. My favorite was the endorsement of using only water to wash your hands...I'm fairly certain that there have been numerous studies that rinsing your hands in water does nothing to kill germs. And yes, some germs are ok, but I don't really want to be going around with salmonella or e coli on my hands, do you? After reading this endorsement of hand-rinsing in the first chapter, I pretty much rolled my eyes through the rest of the book.
not quality literature, but worth the time.
