I met Louise Plummer once and I really enjoy her writing. This story was just weird though. I thought Sus5an was immature and annoying. I wanted to slap her. I felt no sympathy for her at the end of the book when she got her stupid heart broken. I did like that the story was set in Springville and talked about the Springville Art Museum.Somewhat dated, LDS fiction. Actually, the LDS is not beaten over your head...a good thing. Describes a coming-of-age story of a 17 year old artist from Springville. Not bad.
I really like Louise Plummer and read her blog...she is hilarious. I hadn't read any of her books so thought I would give this a try.I just couldn't get past Sus5an the main character. She has a creepy obsession with her uncle Willy, who disappeared when she was 7. This tells the story of her coming-of-age and realizing what she wants with her life and who she is. She was just so dumb. Really? You want to marry your 40 year old uncle? Hmm.. grow up a little!I think I will try another of her more
This was a good book by a local Utah County author. I haven't read another book quite like this one. When it ended, I felt like it could use a sequel, but I just made one up in my mind. :)
I kinda wanted to beat this character over the head and scream "can't you see he's using you!"
Talk about procrastinating reading a book, this one sat on my shelf for years, with no real reason other than I simply got distracted. I finally picked it up and read a chapter each day while I waited on my crazy computer and internet to boot. Okay, so once I got 3/4 of the way through, I was reading more than a chapter a day, finally reading the final chapters in a huge gulp of satisfaction! I knew exactly what was going to happen to Sus5an, but I had to be there with her, hoping things would
This book I read in seventh grade and really liked it. The story was interesting for me and saddening. I've only read one other book like it, but cannot fortunately remember the name at this time.
