In the book called “The smart on and the pretty one,” by the author named Claire LaZebnik talks about two main characters, Ava Nickerson and Lauren Nickerson. Two sisters who look alike but couldn’t be more different. Ava Nickerson is a smart and accomplished lawyer. She takes pride in her work and could care less about fashion and beauty.Lauren Nickerson works in a shop and takes pride in being beautiful, loving fashion and cares a great deal about appearance.
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 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.
The book titled, The Smart One And the Pretty One is by the author named Claire LaZebnik. When I first saw the title and the front cover of the book, i thought that this kind of book is going to be about teen girls, and their lives in school or what so ever. However, as I started reading it, I was totally wrong. This book is about two mid - aged women, that are siblings. In addition their sisterly relationship. This is a book about the stories of both of their lives. And the times when they were in conflicts, fun, and hardships.
So as I was saying this book is about two sisters, Lauren And Ava. So i believe the purpose of this book is about the relationship between two sisters, and how through the support of one and another, they complete their goals and other stuff. On page 52 “ I need a debt counselor and you need a boyfriend.” lauren said. “ we are both just trying to help each other out. thats what sisters do, right.” This quote right here is saying that lauren is in deep debt, while ava is lonely without a boyfriend. However, with each others help, the problem is solved. Laauren found a debt counselor, and thanks to lauren, Ava found a boyfriend.
Ashli : Hey ashli, your book review was really good. A suggestion for you may be that you could actually add more commentaries to your quote. Your book sounds fun to read. I like how you gave a biography in your blog post, so i would know what the book is actually about. The book sounds like its a really good book and very interesting. The ending should be more detailed. other than that your book post is awesome :D
