I wonder if the main character, Izzie, will invite a boy who likes her, named Rob to her sister's wedding.

This book keeps me interested because it's a coming-of-age story, and the events that take place leave off at cliff hangers, and to know what happens in those certain events, you have to keep reading.

The main character Isabelle is my favorite character because she is the youngest in her family and is growing up wanting to experience adulthood.

I chose this book because the summary is a good attention grabber that made me want to read the book. The book has an easy flow and is interesting.

"But back home, we bumped into everyone at church: relatives, friends, Mom's socialite cronies, Dad's business associates, and customers at the restaurant" (111).

Vicenza isn't being honest with certain people in her life at her new school. Her life is now changing and her luck begins to change for the good.

person vs self - Vicenza is trying to make friends at a new school and her education is taking her to a higher class so she has to leave the only friend she made. The other conflict is she is lying to her friend from her home country about her life in her new home.

Fresh off the Boat takes place in San Francisco in 2000. My favorite scene so far is when Vicenza meets Isobel because it's the first friend she made since she moved to San Francisco.

Brittany "It turned out they were all waving and smiling and cooing over my little sister, BRITTANY" (9).

My book's mood is suspenseful because the main character might lose her job, and we don't know what will happen to her future until later in the book.

I like this part because I like how they describe each room. It helps me visualize what's going on as I read. "This one is about the size of my flat, with pale walls and stone mullioned windows overlooking the garden" (Sophia Kinsella).

The big idea is that Samantha works hard at her job no matter the stresses it brings her.

The big idea in the book The Undomestic Goddess Samantha is under pressure to make it to the top as one of the youngest workers in her work level. She either over works herself or she distances herself from her job and learns how to be a young woman with little stress and being around a relaxing environment.

I picture a restaurant scene where waiters serve someone for their birthday, the cake is decorated, and people are singing "Happy Birthday." (Kinsella 29-31)
