BOUNCE

In my book bounce by Natasha Friend. It dealt with real life situations,Like my main character Evyn was force to move to Boston and leave her best friend Jules behind because her dad was re-marring. Also she was force to move and live with Eleni {her fathers new wife} and her 6 kids.It was really tough for Evyn to move in and adjust to the new living conditions. During the book I saw how even though Evyn's mom died Evyn still would talk to her when she was going through tough times in her life. When she talks to her mom it helps her with her problems. But I think even though its gonna take a long time for Evyn to get use to the idea of having a new mom and six new siblings I think she will adjust well. I noticed that Eleni is trying everything to get close to Evyn and Evyn hates it all.If I were Evyn I wouldn't want to get close to her either, but you cant be mad forever. Also another thing I noticed was that Mackey Evyn's brother didn't even care about the fact his dad was getting married. But really I think he did care he didn't want to show it.But the adjusting to the family changes wasn't the only thing Evyn had to deal with she had to make new friends and adjust to a different school. At one part in the book she starts to make friends, but its only because her new step-brother Ajax is very popular, and all the girls like him. So the only reason they talk to Evyn is to get information about who he likes. In the book Evyn starts to notice how her dad changes. Like they start calling him a different name and he starts dressing different and she hates the fact that Eleni shows so much affection to her father. If I could ever give Evyn any advice I would say that she should at least try to get to know her new family before she judges them.

  1. Omgg iread this book too taylor ! its amazing to see how we both have similar ideas and opinions on the main character as well as the book. I havent gone through any of the situations that evyn has gone through, so icouldnt exactly connect to her and make connections with the characters. how do you connect to the main characters of books if their lives arent exactly like yours ?
