This review is from: I'll Love You When You're More Like Me (Keypoint Series) (Paperback)

This book is a typical M.E. Kerr teenage "problem novel" featuring kids who have odd names, somewhat unrealistic life dilemmas (Sabra in this story is a famous teen soap opera star) and a climax that doesn't really go in the direction the reader is thinking. This book focuses on Wally Witherspoon, who is engaged to a pretty girl and all set to take over his father's undertaking business as soon as he gets out of high school, but really doesn't like either the girl or the career. Instead he's still in love with his less pretty but way sexier ex-girlfriend. Enter Sabra St. Amour, a famous teenage soap opera actress whose mother is way, way too overattached to her. It's clear that Sabra and Wally would both like to get away from their pushy families and be able to make the right decisions for themselves on their own, and the book misleads the reader into thinking that Sabra and Wally are going to maybe fall in love or do something nutty like try to run away together. Unfortunately, none of this happens.

This review is from: I'll Love You When You're More Like Me (Hardcover)

Is your father an eccentric man who owns a funeral home? Does he want you to make a living doing the same exact thing he has been doing for years? Do you absolutly dread the idea of this notion?

Well, Wally Witherspoon, a young boy, has to ask himself these questions.

Are you a famous actress? Are you about to be kicked out of your
own show? Do you absolutly hate the idea of being written out of your own show?

Well, Sabra St. Amour has to ask herself these questions?

The thing about these two kids is that the answers to all of these questions are yes, and its about to make a whole heck of a difference in their lives.

What if you were about to meet the perfect girl, but your background is standing in the way?

What if you met that special someone on the beach, and you cannot accept each other for who you are?

Well, all of these what ifs came crashing to a stop when the two kids' worlds collide and they have to recognize each other for who they are.

In this story, Wally and Sabra will change each other forever.

A Kid's Review

M.E. kerr

Finction

This guy loves a othe girl but onforchanaly this girl feels that he very diffent from him. She was about to get marry with him but, changes her main because of there differents. So the guy gets in engage with a girl he does't like at all. He wants to get out of her engega. Becarse he want to go back to his old girl shold her she is not a under taker.

My favorite character was the girlfriend the one he relly loves because she is not afride to tell him what he feels about him. She was a big change in his life because she made him change.

A scene that means something to me is on the second page weree she tells him every thing in his face. This makes a scene for me of love and angrear.

i would say to every body out there to read this book if you are engage with someone you not wnat to be.

one question you I have about this book is how the girl feel went she dump him.

My strongest reasom to recommened this book is because it very intertaing and you will injoind it pretty much.
