So if this is a draft of my review for SLJ, am I breaking copyright to post it here? Not sure. They do pass them on to Follett and Amazon, and I see them on the public library catalog, too. Anyway, here goes:Caletti invites readers into Scarlett Hughes life and all its maybes. The introspective teen copes when her charismatic sister Juliet shows up pregnant and married after a Portland hotel singing job. Both Scarlett and her mother quickly come to adore the husbandScarlett perhaps a little tooIt's funny. I had never heard of Deb Caletti before. She doesn't have the following, it seems, of Dessen. This is a shame, because I think she may have a little something on her. It's a double-shame, really, because Caletti's book covers are created to look like your garden variety chick-lit Dessen knock-offs. But it seems like Caletti's writing is denser than Dessen's, in a good way, mostly. There are moments where things get a little too abstractly poetic, but mainly, the story keeps moving in
When Scarletts sister, Juliet returns home Scarlett and her mother are surprised to find out that not only is Juliet married and pregnant at 20, but her and her new husband, Hayden and his huge dog Zeus are moving in. Scarlett has a knack for making other peoples problems her own and sticking her nose into situations that it probably shouldnt be in. That being said, Hayden turns out to be a beautiful note writer and Scarlett finds every note that he leaves for Juliet and slowly starts to fall
How is it that I'm just now experiencing Deb Caletti? I had no idea what I was missing. I had seen her books on the shelf countless times and had simply scanned over them, assuming she was just another teen author like Sarah Dessen. Wrong. Her writing is beyond that. It is beautiful and emotional. It reminded me of an older and more sophisticated teen version of a Kate DiCamillo book. It had the memorable, quirky characters and the flowing writing that I just love. I really never thought I would
Seventeen year old Scarlet Ellis lives on Parrish Island with her mother. She is known for being the designated listener at school, and spends much of her time observing people and finding ways to be useful to them. One day, Scarlets older sister, Juliet, comes home from Portland, where she has been working as a hotel singer, pregnant, and with her new husband (neither Scarlet or her mother were aware of this) and his big furry dog named Zeus in tow. All this happens in the first fifteen pages.
I have been a Caletti fan for a long time. She's an exceptional writer, and her books always have keen observations and a quirky, relatable cast of characters. The Six Rules of Maybe was no exception. It was so adorably Caletti, but the problem was, it was nothing more than that. All I enjoyed about this book were the characters and writing.The plot, unfortunately, was dull and meandering. The initial set-up is like an indulgent Lifetime movie, full of drama and potential family blow-outs. But
I did not like the ending to this book. The ending is pretty much why I rated this book a 1 out of 5. The rest of the book would probably be a 3 out of 5. I like books where the guy and the girl fall in love and live happily ever after. However, in this scenario I suppose it would be sorta wrong..... but still... *sigh* Juliet's character just annoyed me completely and she totally did not deserve Hayden. Despite this, the book is well written, although it is a bit slow, and I like the Six Rules
