This book was a huge disappointment and a success. Why?
Issue #1: I felt that Joanna Philbin was simply recycling old plots. This book just felt similar to The Daughters.
Issue #2: I don't get it. The ending. So...Is there going to be another book or what? I hate books like these.
Issue #3: Really? A fourteen/fifteen years old drinking? I don't think that is a good example for our young audience.
Issue #4: The characters...For the first book, the characters were exciting. People you just want to explore and dig. The second book was fascinating. It goes in more detail. The third book was like "We got that figure out so yeah go on." Now this book, The Daughters Join the Party, is just annoying.
Issue #5: Recycled Personality. I really want to see different characters not characters with different names.
The good parts were the:
Positive Side: Humor. I love the humor in this book. This book makes you laugh in different places. It really gets readers to be more emotional.
Positive Side #2: The speeches. WOW! I love Emma's speech. They are so beautiful. They come from the heart and readers can really see that. She is so open and like a free spirit. Unfortunately other characters don't like that.
Positive Side #3: Emma's character, the exception to Issue #4. I really love Emma. Out of the four girls, I love Emma the most. She is badass. She doesn't listen to adults. She doesn't pay attention to the rules. She speaks her mind (even though that causes a lot of problems.) She is kind, thoughtful (sometimes), and intelligent. Readers everywhere will love Emma.
Positive Side #4: The love interest. I love how the author describes him. It just makes him and Emma even more adorable.
Positive Side #5: The conflicts at home. Emma's brother has a lot of problems. He's stressed out. He is pushed by peer pressure. It was taking a toll on Emma's life. I like how the author uses that as a variable in the book.
This book's rating is a three out of five. Not bad. I wish I didn't read the few books before this one.
