The Smart One And The Pretty One : Ava & Lauren .

In the book called “The smart on and the pretty one,” by the author named Claire LaZebnik talks about two main characters, Ava and Lauren. Ava and Lauren are sisters that lived separately in their lives until recently, Lauren, the pretty one, moved back from New York to LA into their parents house. While, on the other hand, Ava is independent, and also is a lawyer. Although both of them are siblings, there are many differences between the two, such as their personalities, styles of clothing, views on relationships, responsibilities and many other more.
There is one specific quote in the book that shows who Ava and Lauren are. Lauren said out loud, “You’re the important lawyer who knows about contracts and never gets into debt. I am the loser sister.” (page 33) This quote demonstrates that Lauren is buried in debts,  which also shows that she is not responsibility because she owes a lot of debts. Lauren owes so much debts that she has to move back and live with her family again. Lauren is also a person that buys a lot of things which led her into burring in debts. In addition, this shows Lauren has low confidence in her self. She called herself a loser, if she was confident and proud she would not have called herself that...
On the other hand, Ava is totally different. Ava is a lawyer, she is the successful one comparing to Lauren, that is also why Lauren lost confident because she has a sister that is so successful unlike herself. Although Ava is successful in her career, she is not so successful in relationships, or dating guys. Unlike Ava, Lauren has tons of experiences from her ex boyfriends, while Ava only had 1-2 boyfriends.
As the book titled said, “The Smart And The Pretty One,” obviously Ava who is successful lawyer but does not have so many experiences with guys or men is the smart one. On contrast, Lauren the pretty one, spends all her money on clothes, makeups and stuff, which made her into owing lots of debts, however she has many experiences with men.

  1. The book seems very interesting and something out of the usual. The book gives off a vibe that may drag your attention away and keep it! The book may show and relate to things that people face in daily lives. It is apparent that there is excitement and much drama. Can you relate to your book in any ways?
