Absolutely amazing!!!!! Her and Fionas relationship throughout was portrayed in a way that I didnt completely expect it to play; it was surprising, had all the plot twists and turns that I love reading in a book because they just make it more interesting, especially since the back blurb was fairly vague about the changes she was going to go through. I liked that it was vague, though, because it made me more attracted to it and have more confidence that I picked a book that was just my type,I wish this book never ended that's how awesome it was!
Reviewed by Angie Fisher for TeensReadToo.comHow many of us can truly say we know who we are, especially as teenagers? Emily is no different. Sure, she has had the same BFF forever, will graduate from high school next year, and her family seems pretty together. Take away those three things, and she has no idea. That is, until her art teacher recommends her for an invitation-only summer program in Philadelphia. Though she has never thought seriously about her artistic ability (like everyone else,
2.5: The summer before her senior year, Emily leaves the familiarity and confines of her suburban neighborhood each morning to attend art school in the city. While she has always enjoyed art, under the influence of new peers and courses, Emily begins to develop and trust in her own strong aesthetic voice. Author Vivians discussion of composition and materials and her insight into the power of art brings the story to life and is my favorite part of the book. At the same time, Vivians plot and
I would have given this book four stars, because it was great, but not quite to the five-star mark. But then this happened: The girl in the book is going to summer art classes at the art college in Philly. After her first week, she's still self-conscious about her J. Crew tanks tops- she's way too suburby, she feels. So one morning she takes a Sharpie to one of her tank tops and draws a picture of her (now deceased) cat Meowie. Right there on her tank top. I read this on the lightrail back from
Emily feels trapped. Trapped in Cherry Grove, a suburb that practically exudes pool parties and backyard cookouts. Trapped with her best friend Meg, who has recently gotten a boyfriend and isn't paying as much attention to her. And trapped in a school where art isn't appreciated. So when Emily is offered to go to a prestigious art program over the summer of her junior year, she accepts immediately. However, now she's stuck between two completely different worlds: her hometown where everyone
I find it hard to review Same Difference. There is nothing wrong with this book except that within a few days I will probably not remember I ever read it. Same Difference is your standard coming-of-age story. The main character - Emily - feels a little blue, her best friend has a new boy-friend and Emily feels left out. To break the routine of being the third wheel, she decides to pursue her newly found artistic aspirations and attend a summer arts program in the big city nearby - Philadelphia.
