Book Review
The book I am reviewing is “Shrimp” by Rachel Cohn. This book is fiction but it could also call it realistic fiction. This book is the second in its 3 book series. Shrimp is about an already developed character named Cyd Charisse who just returned from New York, where the last book left off. In this book Cyd charisse returns from New York and is ready to get the love of her life back Shrimp. To briefly summarize this book, a girl named Cyd Charisse nicknamed CC is trying to get whom she believes is the love of her life, Shrimp back. Along the way she meets a girl named Helen who becomes her best friend and Alexi her driver’s nephew who she hates at the beginning of the book but by the end she grows to appreciate. She also befriends the least excepted character Autumn who is the reason for her and Shrimps break up in the first place. I think this book was very interesting. I like how they setup the characters like Alexi the horrible as CC calls him I like how once they introduced him I thought immediately that oh of course they are going to hook up or something in that manner . I am not going to give it away but you will be surprised about what happens between them, I was. This book was descriptive enough it was enough for me to visualize but not too much where it gets boring. Like one scene stuck in my head is where something romantic may or may not happen with CC and Alexi. I also like too other scene with one where CC gets high and goes looking for munchies at shrimps house and he brings her to the freezer for hot pockets and she kisses him but he tells her it just wants to be friends for now and then get into the sexual stuff later maybe. Then later in the book they still pretend to be “just friends” but they end up in CC`s shed and they begin to hook up and now this time Cyd turns Shrimp down and says he was right they should just be friends for right now. I think girls are the mostly candidate for reading this book because it is about a girl growing up and maturing so young girls can relate to her. I think you would like this book if you like the book series the Seven deadly Sins because they are both teen dramas in a less of Gossip girl kind a way its not about rich girls acting like idiots. Those are the people I would recommend this book too.
