I had a hard enough time with Harmony and Melody in Bumped. They aren't bad names by any means but I just absolutely hate it when characters in books have "themed" names or similar names, because I can't frikkin keep them straight. Their names are: Calla, Daisy, and Violet. And guess what? Their names are THEMED! Yay! I love it when that happens. Summer of Firsts and Lasts follows three sisters who are seemingly distinct in personality but not distinct enough in their voices. But this was not nearly as entertaining as it could have been. I went into this book expecting something like the sisters version of Invincible Summer at camp, instead of the beach. With a camp story, you expect: the grand arson of marshmellows at the end of woodland sticks, songs of kumbaya and jolly good fellows, spaghetti food fights, and zombie-apocalypse-survival-training (Wait, that last one might have just been part of my delusions while I was at camp).īut this was a lot of running around, talking, whining and complaining, and more not-so-intriguing things. But I'm just not sure that this one tickled my fancy camp slippers (with matching pajamas, of course). I was really excited to read a book about summer camp.
