Book Description
Amy is trapped in family vacation hell- until she and Clover, her teenage aunt, get a chance to interview a hot U.S. movie star with a secret.
Could this summer be any worse? Thirteen-year-old Amy’s dreamy boyfriend, Seth, is off to Rome, while she gets to spend two weeks on a tiny Irish island with a nagging mom and a neurotic aunt locked in a feud, not to mention a crazy stepdad and a surly cousin. Good thing Clover, teen advice columnist supreme, is there to keep Amy from going completely nuts! It doesn’t help Amy’s changeable mood that Seth keeps mentioning some girl in his e-mails, or that Amy feels an electric attraction to the mysterious young gardener next door. So when The Goss magazine unexpectedly sends Clover to glitzy Miami to write a revealing piece on a hot young actor (with Amy as her sidekick, of course) it couldn’t come at a better time. U.S. of A-mazing- here they come!

3.0 out of 5 stars
So - so, Mar 26 2011
By Tina "Tina" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ask Amy Green: Summer Secrets (Hardcover)
This is the second book in the series and as I had read the first one, I was curious to read this second installment.The premise of the books are cute and fun. Amy - a very typical teen, finds herself in a blended family with lots of people surrounding her. She has found "her true love???" and has somehow become a lifeline of advice to others.
As I am typing this, I realize that the main problem I had with this book is that there is, indeed, too much going on at the same time. It feels as though the author is trying to make her storyline (and her main character) too ecclectic - especially when she literally surrounds her with so many people who basically have their own (weird and at times funny) storylines of their own.
I kept trying to keep the main thread going - that of Amy and Seth trying to be together, but everything else in the storyline just kept getting in the way.
This was not a horrible read, just not as much fun as I would have hoped - although I still do enjoy Amy and her very particular way of thinking and dealing with situations.
Listmania!
