Here is the rest of the summary!


My Summary:

Marrying Mr. Nielsson. Jon's father. Nanette doesn't get what she wants. So she holds a grudge agistant Celeste. Taviana found a home with a bunch of other guys, she starts a great life again.


My Review:
At this part of the book, I was shocked. I did not exspect Celeste to go and marry Mr.Nielsson! I expected her to run off with Jon! Which made me upset and confused. I was also shocked to find out that Celeste did not run off with Jon.

Post two: SISTER WIFE

The book I have been reading for the past while, is Sister Wife.
Written by Shelley Hrdlitschka.
My Summary
This book focuses mainly on three girls named Celeste, Taviana and Nanette. Each girl has problem of their own. Celeste who is turning fifteen, is forced to marry an older man since she is to become a sister wife.Though secretly Celeste loves a boy named Jon. Which causes troubles for Celeste. Taviana moved in with Celeste and Nanette because her mother could not handle her in her condition. Now Taviana is forced to move out because of her actions. Nanette, being a pure daughter. She is wanting to marry a man already. Though she is only 13.
My Review:
I thought this book was extremely well done. I loved the twists and turns the author had put in the book. I enjoyed reading about how Celeste and Jon end up together or not, or how Taviana is going to manage on her own. I also thought that the book was well detailed, I could imagine very well, myself in the places of Celeste, Nanette and Taviana.
Recommendations:
I would recommend this book to the group age of female teenagers, because in this book. As soon as you turn fifteen you are assigned to an older man to become one of his wives. It would show female teenagers what life would be like if they had been forced to become a Sister Wife, working around the house all day with a bunch of other women. Married to the same man. We should be respectful of the advantages and freedom we have.

Books, I found had found the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future ~ Jim Bishop ~

Most people feel that when they are invovled in a novel, that it is a relaxing and comfortable activity to do. I feel that when you find your spot on the couch at home, and you just let your muscules relax. You start reading and soon enough your driffted into the book. I also belive this defines the meaning of the subtitle "Books, I found had found the power to make time stand still, retreat or fly into the future. By Jim Bishop. " , meaning how when you are reading a book, and you are too interested in the book and you sort of just drift off into the scene and everything around you does not seem to move. Because of how invovled you are. It seems as if time had stopped or as if you had been invovled in the novel as one of the main characters. I chose this because I belive that this quote is true, for many people of course. I belive it also describes me alot aswell, when I read a novel. I am amazed by the story line and I imagine myself as the main character. Last year, I did very well with reading many novels, all sorts of types. I enjoy reading books and just cuddling into the couch driffting off into the story line.
