Julianne's Summer Rules:
- Finish all art projects by August
- Survive summer job surrounded by cute boys
- Hit the beach every day
- Avoid the new neighbors (even though their son is hot!)
When Julianne falls for Remi at a bonfire party, her summer is off to a perfect start. Sure, her obnoxious new neighbors are muscling her family off their beachfront property, but she has weeks of fun in the sun to look forward to, a painting to finish, and an amazing guy to get to know. Then Jules discovers that her awful new neighbors are Remi's parents. That makes him a forbidden boy—but she can't seem to let him go. What do you do when your worst enemy is also the boy of your dreams?

This review is from: Forbidden Boy (Paperback)
Julianne falls for a boy she meets at a party at the beginning of the summer. He gives her his phone number, but without realizing it she drops it in the sand. Fortunately, they bump into each other again and the sparks fly.
Then she discovers he's the son of the family who has moved next door and is trying to force her family out of their beach home -- as well as destroy the beach with their monster house in the process. Her sister declares that Remi is off limits and part of Julianne agrees. However, she sees him everyday at her great summer job. She's found the perfect guy who gets her and she's not about to let him go. So they sneak around until they get caught. How can Julianne decide between her family and the boy she loves? Hailey Abbott writes the perfect summer novel filled with love, angst, and drama. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

Good for a light read,
By J. Hiles - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forbidden Boy (Paperback)
It was nothing spectacular. The prose were, though not painful, fairly basic. The plot was less than riveting, and the characterization minimal.
The only thing that really annoyed me though, was how perfectly everything worked out. Even when there was conflict it was either easily solved, or so stupid I had the urge to bang the character's head against the wall. And as for the characterization, most of them can pretty much be taken at face value. Not a lot of depth, but then again, books like this do not call for much. There were no insecurities, everyone was stunningly attractive, and the characters clicked right away, no sexual tension and very few complications. Julianne, the heroine, often gushes about this or that, becoming particularly cheesy when it comes to Remi, her love interest. I'm not saying it's a horrible book. It's actually very fitting for its genre, and I can easily see it in the hands of many teens. As long as you're looking for a light, feel-good romance that does not require a lot of critical thinking, this book is perfect. All in all, it was okay, but if you're in search of something probable, thought provoking, or with depth, then this is not the book for you. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Forbidden-NOT,
By Inna Mikhaylova "MagicBookWorm" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forbidden Boy (Paperback)
I loved this book. I literally took this book to the beach. I recommend this book to those who want a light,noncomplicated and fun read filled with hot and SMART guys/girls that love architecture and art as well as some eco-friendly stuff. This book only made me want to know more about the characters and have them keep talking in their funny sarcastic manner(Julianne, the main character, and I have a lot incommon which I never found in any book I ever read).
I never read this genre, and being a college graduate I needed something light. I judged the book by the name and cover (yes i judged the book by it's cover) it looked like a Gossip Girl/90210/Previliged but I was wrong. Abbott writes a pretty teen/real life story that's relatable, has substance, is fun, happy and sad as well as just the good old smiling and tearing up here and there book. The book has a minor setback. Abbott is not very clear with ages/schools/physical details. Some sentences you have to reread because you're not sure why the person is talking when clearly the paragraph was about someone else. Apart from the writing being a little amateur and sometimes lacks more details where you want more, the book is really easy and light. P.S. I didn't research the author's age or bio so I am only judging the writing from my standpoint. |
