Girl Overboard by Justina Chen Headley
Everybody thinks Syrah is the golden girl. After all, her father Ethan Cheng, billionaire,and she has everything any kid could possibly desire: a waterfront mansion, jet plane, and custom-designed snowboards. But most of what glitters in her life is fool's gold. Her half-siblings hate her, her best friend's girlfriend is ruining their friendship, and her own so-called boyfriend is only after he for her father's name. When he broken heart results in a snowboarding accident that exiles her from the mountains- the one place where she feels free and accepted for who she is, not what she has- can Syrah rehab both her busted-up knee and her bruised heart?

This was a fa-nominal book. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy snowboarding, relationships, and understanding the key to friendship, and also I would recommend this book to the age group of 10 and up. This book taught me a lot about dealing with life and how things happen for a reason. Also that all things that happen may be bad or good, it doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteSo it sounds like this book is more about this girls love for snowboarding than anything else? IS that the reason you were attracted to it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the kind of book that draws to more then one type of person. It might be a good book to read for people who love snowboarding, and they agree about the freedom. It might also draw in people who love (no pun intended) romance kind of books.
ReplyDeleteHow old is the girl in this book? it seems like she's a teenager, but her boyfriend being after her rich fathers name, makes it more like a woman in her 20's.
ReplyDeleteHow does the main character change through out the book? It sounds like she's dealing with a few things that would change the way she acts and thinks in life.
