Grist by: Heather Waldorf

Adriana Mascareno chose the book "Grist" by Heather Waldorf because the cover cought my eyes, one reason is the features that the girl was showing with her face expressions. Another way of how the cover of the book cought my eyes was the way the background was featured of the sun set and the girl with her half face on the cover. It realy made me wonder what the book was about. And if it is really worth reading, or is the book as good as the cover makes it seem

The summary of the book that I was reading is, a girl named Charlie who is only sixteen which in time she learns to bury her feelings were no one will notice what is going on with her. And during one of the summers where this book takes place she wants to bury her feelings more down in the gutter then she has ever had, and to make things worse her dad has just got a new girlfriend and on top of that problem her best friend, Sam has just moved to Australia and will probably never return and the reason that this summer is so more interesting then the others is because she decides to go to her grandparents lake which is called Lake Ringrose. Which also means that she is going to try to leave her feelings behind her and try to have a fun summer. but the question is will she?

If I could ask the Author three questions and why, one would be did the story have to start out so boring? How long has she been building up these sad feelings? But those are the only things that i could really ask the Aurthor because everything else was perfectly fine and no matter if the book really was that boring in the begging towards the middle of the book it was already getting mine attention.
