Today I finished “The Last Little Blue Envelope” by Maureen Johnson. Judge me if you want that this book is “teen” fiction, but I truly enjoyed it. In fact it’s one of those books I saw at B&N and thought “Sweet! Another one!” See, this book is a part 2. The first Book is called “13 Little Blue Envelopes” also by Maureen Johnson and is a book I enjoyed probably about a year ago. That book was also a quick read, but it was enjoyable. The premise behind “13 Little Blue Envelopes” is that a 17 year old girl living in New York gets a set of letters from her Aunt, who she finds out has been living in London. Well, the envelopes are numbered and each letter has instructions of something Ginny (Main character) is supposed to do IN EUROPE! Of course, she goes on quite the adventure. “The Last Little Blue Envelope” picks up where “13 Little Blue Envelopes” ended. It took me two days to read this book, partly because it was an easy read, partly because it’s only 282 pages, and mostly because it was fun to read and I couldn’t put it down. I would categorize this book in the same “grouping” as “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”. It is enjoyable like those books, and the writing style is very similar. Plus, there’s a slight hint of teenage romance, and what girl doesn’t enjoy that once and a while? (Now, I’m not talking ROMANCE like you’d find in a trashy novel, or apparently “50 Shades of Gray”, but the sweet innocent romance of teenagers.) This book was just as adventuresome as the first and equally as entertaining. In fact I was laughing at a bit in the story, and my dear Husband was laughing at me for laughing out loud. What can I say? That part was funny. If you’d like a quick adventure that’s easy to read and light hearted, I’d recommend this book.
Well, off to the next book.
Until Next Time~
