Relation Toward Books The Book of Luke
Emily Abbott has always been considered the Girl Most Likely to Be Nice -- but lately being nice hasn't done her any good. Her parents have decided to move the family from Chicago back to their hometown of Boston in the middle of Emily's senior year. Only Emily's first real boyfriend, Sean, is in Chicago, and so is her shot at class valedictorian and early admission to the Ivy League. What's a nice girl to do?Then Sean dumps Emily on moving day and her father announces he's staying behind in Chicago "to tie up loose ends," and Emily decides that what a nice girl needs to do is to stop being nice.
She reconnects with her best friends in Boston, Josie and Lucy, only to discover that they too have been on the receiving end of some glaring Guy Don'ts. So when the girls have to come up with something to put in the senior class time capsule, they know exactly what to do. They'll create a not-so-nice reference guide for future generations of guys -- an instruction book that teaches them the right way to treat girls.
But when her friends draft Emily to test out their tips on Luke Preston -- the hottest, most popular guy in school, who just broke up with Josie by email -- Emily soon finds that Luke is the trickiest of test subjects . . . and that even a nice girl like Emily has a few things to learn about love.

I lost interest, but it wasn't a bad book. Just average.Dear God, what a terrible book. Now, where to start...The Book of Luke is not anywhere close to its intriguing title. It is instead filled with a bunch of idiotic senior girls who clearly have nothing better to do in their spare time and therefore resort to "testing" out their tips for a guy on how to be a better boyfriend on an equally stupid boy. Let's breakdown the characters, shall we? Emily This girl, who, although comes off as sooooo nice , is really a judgmental nincompoop. Her dad
I had a really hard time relating to the main character. I can't really believe that someone who is supposedly so nice could do what she did to Luke. It makes it look like her being nice for most of her life was just her being fake; she was only nice because that's the correct way to act. I also don't see how continuously lying could ever seem like a good idea; of course it's only going to cause more problems in the end. She had so many chances to tell the truth. I have no clue why she would
To be honest, I loved this book. When I picked it up, I thought it was going to be the cliched good-girl-loves-bad-boy. But oh wait, that's what this story was... But I don't know. I still liked it. I liked the aspect of this girl who had her feelings bottled up for so her, had her real self bottled up for so long, and finally let it all out by being a bitch. (view spoiler)[I'm not saying that what Emily did was right, but that doesn't mean it was specifically wrong either. Well, what I'm trying
This book was a trainwreck that happened in really slow motion. It started off kind of shaky but then picked up speed and then it just kind of crashed. And for about 150 pages it just kept getting worse and worse. It's a totally cliche story. Character development is weak and there's so much pointless dialogue that you feel like you're totally drowning in lame conversation. Skip.
High school senior Emily Abbott has always been nice. Thats what happens when your mother is a nationally known etiquette guru.Well, look where nice has gotten her. Several weeks before Christmas, her dad makes the decision to move the family back to Massachusetts, where they grew up, and then several days later announces that he is going to stay in Chicago for a little while. Then her boyfriend Sean breaks up with her the morning she is leaving on her front step, in front of her whole family.So
Let me start with the fact even the title has the love interests name in it. What?! Come on. Why aren't we teaching young readers NOT to fall for the vacuous, selfish and frankly RUDE guy at school who expects you to like him, and the rubbish way he treats you, which inherently suggests he's not that bothered about making an effort with you. Because, let's face it, why does he need to?The thing is, I actually read this book as a young teenager and loved it. Since then I've become more critical
