My Life in Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald

This is an interesting book about a girl who's family owns a pharmacy that is slowly going bankrupt. She creates a makeup business at the back of the pharmacy to try to save it. When the makeup business shows potential, it's up to her and her friends to try to convince her spacey mom and stubborn grandmother to help. Things That I liked: This was something that I normally wouldn't even look at. It looked like something that was dying to be made into a chick flick. But surprisingly it was okay. The writing style drew you in and the characters had some personality. Things I didn't Like: The adult figures in this book were a little flat. Some of their decisions didn't quite make sense. And this girl finds herself falling in love with her best friends brother. Greenwald spends a lot of pages talking about how disgusting he is. And by the end they are totally in love but the guy is still disgusting and the girl is still the same. None of the characters really progressed. They built the book's ending up and then it fell short of expectations. All in all just an okay book. I'd give it 2 out of 5 stars.
