This is the sequel of the book that I read earlier in the year, 13 Little Blue Envelopes. It wasn't that long ago, actually. I really enjoyed the first book and I knew there was a sequel and because of those two things I really wanted to find out what was in that last little blue envelope.
Maureen Johnson did not disappoint with this book. I enjoyed it, laughed a fair bit, and face-palmed a few times. (Showing up, unannounced, at the guy-you-like's door, when said guy lives in a different country? Definitely a face palm moment, knowing no good was going to come of it.)
I really like Ginny's character and can definitely relate to her. She is unsure of herself and is convinced her life is boring, even though the evidence speaks to the contrary. I think all teenagers, at least girls, feel like this. They dream of having an amazing life, and often don't realize that they already have one. When the life you are living is yours to you it is normal, not amazing, no matter how much others mike say otherwise it will always seem ordinary. Because it is your normal.
Honestly I liked the first book better, which often happens, but I would still read a third should Johnson ever choose to write one, because I really want to find out what happens to Ginny.
So if you like Young Adult fiction and enjoy reading about people traveling and being extorted then you would enjoy this book. It's fun, funny, and a great read. I would give it 4/5 stars. Come on Maureen, I want a third book.
Note:
I promise my reviews will get better as the year goes on, but I will not promise that they will be great reviews. These are just my own thoughts about the books I read.
