Overview / 简介: |
It's almost summer on Cape Cod, where Willa Havisham and Joey Kennelly are finally enjoying their status as the most compatible couple at Bramble Academy. When the community theater advertises auditions for Our Town, Willa and Joey seem fated to play the romantic leads. But when Marielle, the dazzling new girl, offers up some dramatic competition, Willa turns greener than the lawn at her parents' inn.
With two inn weddings the same weekend in June, Willa, who is now the official assistant wedding planner, has enough to do just helping Chef Rosie bake the wedding cakes of the century, and keeping sixteen beauty pageant bridesmaids in check. When a dance with a Southern gentleman sends her spinning under the stars, there's no telling what is destined for Willa and Joey.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Summer isn’t going as expected for 14-year-old Willa. Her mom’s pregnant; her beloved church minister is moving away; and she doesn’t get the part she wanted in a theater production. Set in idyllic Cape Cod with colorful, though sometimes stock characters, this third title in the Wedding Planner’s Daughter series explores realistic issues of friendship and family, including Willa’s growing appreciation for her stepfather Sam and a sympathetic portrayal of her mother’s grief after a miscarriage. Willa’s spirited, engaging first person narrative is abundantly sprinkled with literary allusions and quotes from titles collected in an appended booklist. Grades 6-9. --Shelle Rosenfeld --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This is the continuing story of Willa Havisham, a high school freshman from Cape Cod. She is a wonderful girl, very reminiscent of Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables; she's a dreamer, reader, fantasizer, and all-around decent girl with a loving home and spirit. In this book Willa is helping to plan two weddings on the same weekend, and she is looking for a new community project (her last one was helping the local library raise funds). Her boyfriend, JFK/Joey, also plays a key role in the story; he forms a relationship with a new girl in town that Willa has mixed feelings about. Willa's feelings towards her stepfather Sam also come to the forefront in this story. Overall, this is an excellent series and this 3rd book is much better than the 2nd one was (Cupid Chronicles) because it gets back to exploring the character of Willa and her fanciful musings about love and life. It's a really great story for tween girls. I'm giving it five stars because of the quality of writing for this age group and the decent character and storyline it offers.
