“Life is funny, baby, and that's no joke”
(Cyd Charisse, Book 1)
Genre: General Fiction, Real Life
Honors: None Found
Review: Cyd Charisse is a bit of an unruly teen, or at least so her parent's think. So they send her to live with her biological father in New York City for a few weeks. Perfect timeing since Cyd just broke up with her boyfriend Shrimp. Cyd hasn't seen her birth father since she was a little girl and she doesn't know what to expect. What she finds is an instant bond with her "new" older brother, but a tremulous bond with her "new" older sister, and not much of a bond at all with her father. The whole situations brings Cyd closer to her family she left, and hopes to reconcile with Shrimp.
Opinion: I really liked this book, I love Cyd. I think that she was a very relatable portayal of a teenage girl. She faced serious problems and had to deal with them and she grew throughout the course of the novel, but stayed true to herself at the same time.
Ideas: I would recommend this book to teens who like to read real life situations, no fantasy, or magic, and the romance is real so it can be painful. It was a very easy read and flowed real well so I would pick up another Rachel Cohn book, maybe the sequel to this Shrimp.
