Pink & Green #2
My Summer of Pink & Green: Pink & Green Book Two
At the end of My Life in Pink & Green, Lucy Desberg had just won the grant that would save her family’s pharmacy—and turn it into a modern eco-spa. Now it’s summer, and the work has begun in earnest. Lucy figures that with the spa opening and her sister, Claudia, home, she’ll have a great summer. But her sister brings a new boyfriend, and their investor brings his extremely irritating daughter, Bevin. Plus there’s a new spa coordinator in charge of the plans, and so Lucy finds herself at loose ends. What’s a girl to do? A makeover, of course. But this time Lucy’s makeover skills might not smooth over the cracks in her happy family . . .

About the author
Lisa Greenwald
37 books479 followersA long bio can be kind of boring, so instead I'm going to pretend
that a famous journalist (maybe Barbara Walters) is interviewing me.
The only thing is, I'm making up the questions.
If you think of any other questions you'd like me to answer, send me an email and ask away!
Q. Where did you grow up?
A. I lived in Fairfield, Connecticut until the end of fifth grade and then I moved to Roslyn Heights, New York. That's on Long Island. But I don't have a bad Lawn Guyland accent, I promise.
Q. Do you have any siblings?
A. Yes, I have two younger brothers. I always wanted a sister, but it's kind of nice being the only daughter in the family, and my brothers and I are really close.
Q. What about the rest of your family? Are you close with them too?
A. Yes, family is really important to me. I talk to my parents and grandparents every day.
Q. Are you married?
A. Yes, to a fabulous guy named Dave. We met at sleep away camp when I was sixteen.
Q. Do you have any kids?
A. Yes, my daughter Aleah Violet Rosenberg was born on May 28th, 2010 and I personally think she's the cutest baby in the world, but of course I am biased.
Q. Do you have any pets?
A. I had a miniature toy poodle named Yoffi, but he died in 2007. I miss him so much.
Q. That's sad. Do you think you will get another dog?
A. I would love to adopt one very soon!
Q. What is your favorite book?
A. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt is my favorite book in the whole entire world. I read it in sixth grade in Ms. Mayer's class. I have read many books since then, but Tuck Everlasting is still my absolute favorite.
Q. What is your favorite movie?
A. I have two. Clueless and Avalon.
Q. What's one of the craziest things that's ever happened to you?
A. I won a radio contest at the end of eighth grade! Someone from Z100 called me up and asked me to say the "phrase that pays" and I answered correctly. I won a thousand dollars.
Q. Did you always want to be a writer?
A. No, not always. I wanted to be a hair stylist, then a concert pianist, then a rabbi. But I always loved making up stories, so I think writing is the perfect job for me.
Q. Where did you go to college?
A. I went to Binghamton University in upstate New York. I was an English major with a concentration in creative writing. It's reallllllllly cold in Binghamton. Then two years after I graduated college, I went to The New School to get my MFA in writing for children.
Q. You mentioned that you met Dave at sleep away camp. Did you really like sleep away camp?
A. YES! I loved it. I went to Eisner Camp in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. I would go back to camp forever if only I could. Sleep away camp is the best place in the world.
Q. Tell me some other things you really like.
A. Okay. Here's a short list: sleeping late, fancy hotels, reading and writing (duh!,) peanut m&ms, flip flops, sweatpants, people watching, New York City, cheese omelets, weddings, pedicures, looking at old pictures and re-reading old cards and letters.
Q. Tell me some things you really dislike.
A. Peas, mean people, rats and mice, sweating, pants and skirts with a side zipper, spicy food, uncomfortable shoes, people clipping their nails on the subway, feeling lonely or thinking about other people who might feel lonely.
Q. MY LIFE IN PINK & GREEN is about a pharmacy. Do you really like pharmacies?
A. Yes, I love them! I love the way they smell and the way the aisles are arranged. I love when the pharmacists know the customers and I love looking at all the beauty products.
Q. Do you write every day?
A. I try to, but in addition to writing I also work in the library at The Birch Wathen Lenox School in Manhattan. I love being around kids and books and talking to kids about books!
Q. I don't have any more questions. Is there anything else you'd like to add?
A. Just that I hope readers like my book, and I'd love to hear from all of them if they want to talk to me!

A disappointment after the first book. What happened to the smart, funny, and confident protagonist from My Life in Pink & Green? The only characteristic that remains is the "confident" part, and now she's a bit TOO confident. Sure, she came up with these great ideas to expand her family's business, but she can't expect to be put in charge of the whole spa project! She's in 8th grade, for God's sake! Some things have to be left to the adults. I don't see this character do much more than whine about everyone around her and stick her nose into places it doesn't belong.

Remember Jane Austin's EMMA ? This is an EMMA story, only the time is changed to now and the place is changed to small East-coast town and the girl with the "projects" is Lucy.
Lucy has BFF trauma, wanna'boyfriend trauma, family trauma, and this-isn't-happening-to-me-I-don't-want-this-friend trauma, not-being-taken-seriously trauma, and eco-issues trauma -- all bundled up into opening a family business for which she won grant funding.
Wow, is that a lot for one girl's summer? Each chapter begins with a tip from Lucy, which may or may not be fleshed out in that chapter. She's just thirteen years old which begs the question -- what reading audience is this aimed at? There are a few terms the average 13-yr-old might miss-- such as "naan" (an Indian bread) and "pariah". Overall there is humor, frustration, and perhaps all the pieces resolve a bit too simplistically. I'm not sure the average 13-yr-old would relate to a family-owned drug-store cum spa. I think that if the author had added five years to her protagonist and her sister and friends it would have been a better fit for the plot and setting.

I liked this book a lot. I forgot how I felt about the first. I know I liked that too but I can’t remember enough to compare. This one I enjoyed watching he progress of the spa and the different characters Lucy was involved with but it frustrated me how she couldn’t seem to communicate her feelings appropriately to all the people around her and she ended up having to apologize to everyone in the end but no one had to apologize to her! Thought that was a little BS lol. Interested to see how this all ends in the third book.

This book was great! I had to read the first book in the series for English class and I enjoyed it so much that I really wanted to read the second one. This book was awesome. I really recommend this book.

It was a nice summer book to read, I feel like I would’ve liked it more a couple of years ago but oh well! Def not as good as the first one though.

"My Summer of Pink & Green" was a pretty good book! I really enjoyed the plot of this novel. I would definitely recommend this. My favorite character was by far Lucy, I liked how much I could relate to her, she definitely seemed like a real person. Lisa Greenwald described everything in such great detail that I could actually envision the scenes and the setting they took place in. My favorite scene would have to be when their ground breaking of the spa was taking place, Lucy seemed so excited that her idea was becoming a reality! This was when she was actually a part of everything.
There were some things that I didn't like as much. One example being how the plot got really boring the more I got to the end. It made me not want to read it as much as I did before. At the beginning it did keep me guessing about what her future with the spa looks like. Later in the book, things became kind of predictable. You could tell what was going to happen next, or something that has no point is included.
Overall, I enjoyed it more than I disliked it. The beginning was the best part of the novel by far. I would definitely recommend this novel for a younger audience because of the characters. The story is coming from a child.

If you are a middle school student or if you know a middle school student, I highly recommend this book for a good summer read!
The story is a fun read. It will keep your attention from beginning to the end. The story moves at nice quick pace.
Lucy is the main character and she is a contrast between being immature and adult like - which I think is typical middle school students. They are in that time of life where they want to be adults, but are still enjoying their childhoods. I think Lisa wrote Lucy in a way that most readers can relate to that time in their life - no matter what age they are now.
Let me say that even my almost four year old granddaughter loved the cover! She picked up my copy of the book and said, " Can we read this?". The nice thing is I felt like I could read it to her - there was no foul language and the characters were ones I wouldn't mind her knowing.

I think the book ended and left me... questioning what happens next I guess. It ended nicely with Lucy eventually starting to date Yamir but it doesn't have an epilogue which I prefer at the end of a book if it ends the way this one did. The book kind f wrapped everything up which was nice i guess, but it did it very quickly and it felt like the author was just trying to end the book already. This was kind of disappointing considering this was the sequel to "My Life In Pink And Green". I thought that book ended nicely and though it did end on a cliffhanger it was okay because i knew there was a sequel. This book was different because it ended the same way as the first one but another book doesn't come after this one so it kind of leaves me to wonder what's happened and that makes me uncomfortable.

My Summer of Pink and Green is a great book about a young 12yr old girl in the seventh grade surviving a summer with her older sisters new boyfriend to get used to, crushes and difficultly with friends but doesn't mean it's not a great book it's just girl things! It's very girly and fun and if your a girly girl that is in seventh or eighth grade that doesn't like a lot of science fiction or horror, or mystery but age appropriate GIRLY books, this is a great book for you I totally recommend it! I recommend it especially for the summer time too! (You might enjoy it a little more)

A teen book left in my bathroom by one if my children, started reading as I needed some reading material one day. It was a light, quick, easy to skim through book.
Main character was whiney and a stereotypical 13 year old. She kind of irritated me when she complained about the adults in her life, trying to keep her on track and responsible for her actions.
I often over thought statements in the book and kept expecting more. I also felt there were “holes” in the logistics.
Anyway, it was a quick read and I need to remind myself that it wasn’t written for 45 year old.

This book was okay. In the middle of this book, it got a little boring. I kept reading and it's actually not that bad. I kind of like this book, you should read it!

I read this book very fast because it's such a good story. It's very organized and was very detailed with lots of great characters and an amazing plot.
July 19, 2025
To be fair, I didn't read the first book in this series, got this one from a library sale, so I can't make a comparison between the two. However, on its own, this book comes across as extremely unrealistic for a contemporary novel. Especially the adult characters!
Lucy helped her family get a grant to expand their floundering pharmacy into a spa. This was what happened in the first book. Now the spa is under construction, set to open Labor Day weekend, and Lucy wants to be on site every day to supervise things. This part makes sense from a preteen perspective. She was the reason they got the grant and the spa was her idea, so she thinks it is essentially her project. She's going to oversee it and she's going to work at the spa once it opens. At thirteen years old! Don't spas have to have licensed cosmetologists? And aren't there child labor laws?
And the worst part is that the adults in her life let her go on believing that she's going to be doing these things. When her older sister Claudia tries to tell Lucy the truth, that she's not going to have such a big role in the spa, the adults shut her down. Why? Do they think it's cute to lead Lucy on and let her believe these lies, only to break her heart later when the truth comes out? Terrible parenting!
And how are all the adults involved (Mom, Grandma, Gary, Anais) so incompetent that Lucy is the only one who can figure out how to keep things on track and get customers into the spa? Would not happen! Even if Mom is described as scatterbrained, Grandma is on top of things, and Anais is a spa consultant. She would for sure figure out all of this before Lucy!
The side plots with Lucy's friend Sunny and Lucy's crush on Sunny's brother Yamir are boring and do nothing for the story. They are in there because they are characters from the first book and these plots with first crushes and losing a BFF to her boyfriend are typical middle grade tropes. I wanted to see more with Lucy and her sister Claudia. Claudia brought her own boyfriend home from college, shattering Lucy's dream of spending the summer with her sister. There was no resolution to this plot. I wanted to see the sisters spend one afternoon together, just the two of them.

My Summer of Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald is about young Lucy Desberg who is a very good problem solver. So far her summer is going well. She earns a grant that allows her family to sustain their pharmacy and her friend has her first boyfriend. However, her summer changes soon. Her sister and best friend start to hang out with their boyfriends more and this leaves her feeling lonely and this forces her to hang out with the pharmacy's renovator's daughter. She also gets gently pushed aside from the renovation of the pharmacy.
Lisa Greenwald uses thorough writing skills which allows for vivid pictures and images. The book is very descriptive and this allows for a better reading experience. However, for some readers who get easily bored, this book may seem very long and not interesting. I would suggest reading this in small sections to avoid the cycle of long chapters.
The book is also sectioned into "Lucy's tips" which I think was interesting. The tips for each chapter allowed for the reader to understand the meaning and the theme for each chapter before they read the chapter. This allows the reader to think about this theme while reading the chapter and thus they can make better pictures of the chapter and better understand the chapter's hidden meaning. I found this intriguing.
Overall, the book My Summer of Pink and Green by Lisa Greenwald is a decent book that is lengthy but intriguing if you allow it to take the time to develop ideas. I would only suggest this to people that have the time and patience to read and let the book develop. I enjoyed reading this book but would have appreciated it more if it was slightly shorter and took less time to develop the plot.

So, book one in this series is probably one of my favorite middle-grade contemporaries. I loved it so much! Unfortunately, I couldn't say exactly the same for this book. I feel like it had a lot of potential, but it suffered from sequel syndrome.
There were some similarities from the first: the adults drove me insane and I loved the messages that kids can do things too as well the importance of being eco friendly. However, the characters didn't grab me as much as they did in the first book. Lucy's love interest annoyed me a lot, and while I understand that he's an awkward teenage boy, he just got on my nerves for the most part. Even Lucy got on my nerves a bit in this book.
That being said, I really did like the plot and I loved that we got to see the Spa completed! The messages that were present in this book are all so important for people of this age to learn. I'm very excited to read the final book and see how the series finishes!

I didn’t read the first book in this series as this was a donation to my LFL. I had a hard time with the writing on this one- the tone and mindset of Lucy were very new age millennial and she did not come off as a likable character. A tad self-centered with some paranoid busybody on the side. There was a lot of teenage angst and girlfriend tiffs that I just couldn’t stop myself rolling my eyes at- would possibly recommend to middle school girls as a silly escape reader not to be taken seriously at all.

"It's summer. Claudia's home. The ground breaking for the spa is happening tomorrow" (14)
I loved the first book, but I found the second book to be lacking. I thought the plot wasn't really that interesting and I really didn't like the winning throughout. I thought there could be more eco facts.
This book was a quick read, as I read it in 1 day!
I would recommend this book to anyone into eco dramas!

This was a young adult novel I picked up at a library kiosk. The main character had won a grant for her family's pharmacy business in book #1, which I have not read. The grant was used to turn part of the business into an eco-spa. The book details the family's life & the building of the spa. It was an okay read, however it was meant for a younger audience that the typical young adult books.

April 27, 2018I have fond memories of this- it made mini me feel like I could take over the world like Lucy. I think the ending was beautiful and left me content with wanting more. Just now, Years! After reading this, I learn that there’s a 3rd book in this series. I will not be reading it for the sake of maintaining happy memories.
June 21, 2017
In this installment, Lucy comes off as a snobby, entitled brat - a key example of the sequel not living up to the original, though it did maintain some of the things I loved about the established 'verse.

This is the second book to " My life in pink and green " and I think it's pretty good! I would recommend this book to many people! It's a book for a little bit older kids, but it does NOT have any foul words
November 6, 2017
Although I really liked My Life In Pink and Green I DID NOT enjoy this book. It was very boring and was basically pages and pages of the main character complaining about her life. It was not good and I do not not plan to read the next book.

I didn't really like this one because even though it's still the same character, the way she deals with things is so annoyingly predictable and I don't like predictable books. I might read the next book, but I'm not sure. if you want to stop at the first book, you can.

I read it because my daughter brought it home and handed it to me. I hadn't read the first book, though, so I felt like I was missing a bit of context and affection for the characters. I'm definitely not the target audience but the characters grated on me. A teen girl might love this book, though!

I read this book from 2019 to 2020. I did like it, but honestly don't remember much from the book. But for ages around 5th, or 6th grade I would definitely recommend reading this if you are bored, or during summer.
