Book Reviews of Enthusiasm
Book Review: Cute and light
Summary: 4 Stars
Enthusiasm is a fluffy, comfy book filled with references to Jane Austen and some of her works, most notably Pride & Prejudice.
A YA book, it was recommended to me by my teen daughter, so of course I had to read it. A quick, fun read, with a cast of cute and quirky (though unrealistic at times) characters, Enthusiasm is definitely marketed to capitalize on the teen fascination with boys, crushes, first kisses and clueless parents.
Very sweet and light fare, although as a mom I do take issue with the current trend in having male characters enter the heroine's bedroom at night to *just cuddle*. Sure, it might sound romantic and squee-worthy when you read it in a book, but girls, please trust me on this one: if a boy climbs into your bedroom at night, he's got more on his mind then a cuddle and a good night's sleep.
Otherwise, Shulman has penned a lighthearted teen tale that's worth a few hours reading time. Just remember to keep your windows bolted....
