The+Bridesmaid

The Bridesmaid By Hailey Abbott Haley Abbott has written many books, the Bridesmaid being one. She wrote the sequence of The Summer Boys Novels. She grew up in southern California so she spends most of her time by the beach but now she lives in New York City. She has been a bridesmaid eight times for eight different weddings. The Forbidden Boy and The other Boy are some of the other books she has written. She has three new books coming out in 2009, Summer Girls, Boy Crazy and Flirting with Boys. I personally have only read the last two books of the Summer Boys sequence and I truly believe those book were worth my time. The girls in Summer Boys were all very different and Abby (from Bridesmaid) is exception. Haley Abbott makes all her character very different to each other; they all have different thought, personalities and hobbies. Abbott figures out a way to get their thought just right. Haley Abbott writes in a way that makes you get into a character even though you have nothing in common with; you end up feeling all the emotions that the character feels. The Bridesmaid deals with a teenager, Abby, who is scared and ashamed to express what she wants to her parents and the boy she likes. Abby has to learn to be more open with the people she cares about. The bridesmaid is the story of a teenage girl named Abby who is in her sophomore year of high school. She has three best friend Christopher, Delilah and Carol her sister. Abby’s parent own a weeding planning business, so naturally Abby and Carol grew up around many brides. Abby and Carol hated what the women would become when they were planning a wedding so they made a promise to never get married. After graduating Form College Carol comes home with the news that she’s engaged, both her family are thrilled for her all expects Abby who is afraid that her sister becomes a Bridezilla. Through out the Abby finds love in more way then one. The story takes in a small town outside of Boston. Abby loves where she lives because it not to far from the city and it not as chaotic as a city. This book makes gets you in, it takes your attention away form the real world for a few moments. It was completely worth my time. Haley Abbott makes you the reader compare yourself with Abby. You end up feeling everything that Abby feels. Abby becomes part of you. I would recommend this book to teenage girls who like flicks. I don’t think that a mature adult would enjoy this book nor do I think a boy would like either. This book is that inside of a teenage girl there is nothing more to it.
