Rules of Summer di Joanna Philbin
I just couldn't really care about the characters and the story was not all that compelling but teen girls might like it. It is about the Hamptons after all.
The last of The Daughters books...and the last book on my summer reading list...
I finally finished this book. It took a lot longer to read than the others, not because the book wasn't as good, but because my life was crazier than ever.
The last book in the Daughter series and the one with the most suspenseful subplot of them all.
A great read for those who are young or young at heart.

A great read for those who are young or young at heart.
A great book about a spunky 14-year old spoiled brat of a billionaire who discovers the true value of money, the danger of making assumptions, and the virtue of being honest.
Are you a gawky teen trying to fit in? Or a quirky-looking girl wondering if she has any natural beauty? Are you struggling to differentiate yourself from your parents who seem to be perfect? Or are you just trying to find your place in the world?
Fourteen-year-old Lizzie Summers is the daughter of supermodel Katia Summers and best friends with Hudson Jones, the daughter of a pop star, and Carina Jurgensen, daughter of the multi-media mogul. Lizzie looks more like her father—a short, frizzy redhead freak with bushy eyebrows—than her mother with her tall, blond, lithesome grace. Lizzie hates being part of her mother’s glamorous modeling world until she is discovered by a talented photographer who specializes in showcasing ordinary people for their extraordinary uniqueness.
Plunged into an alternative world of “ugly modeling” where freaks are fabulous, Lizzie’s success catapults her into becoming the face of New Beauty. But with her sudden success comes a price: the relationship with her mother with its fragile understanding, the love of the boy she has always known although only recently loved, and the respect of her English teacher.
The Daughters is the first book in a four book series by Joanna Philbin, daughter of television host Regis Philbin. Joanna knows first-hand what it means to be a daughter of a mega-star and the friendships needed to survive in that peculiar world.
But Joanna also remembers the universality of what it is like to be a teenager. It’s her deep understanding of the issues important to teens: discovering yourself while also trying to fit in, speaking your truth while also respecting the rules and wisdom of your parents, and making mistakes along the way and learning the power of love and forgiveness that makes her story resonate with a deeper, more lasting truth than the latest fashion trends.
Although not The Great Gatsby, The Daughters is a great story about individuality, family relationships, career choices, crushes, and best friends set against the backdrop of a glamorous world.
My twelve-year-old daughter has challenged me to read all four books in the series, so look for my reviews on the other three as I finish them.
Happy reading!
