Lucy is back, and looking forward to spending the summer helping her mother and grandmother open the spa for which Lucy helped get a grant. Her sister Claudia is home from college, but has brought home Bean, her boyfriend, ostensibly to help with the spa. The main investor has brought his daughter, Bevin, from New York, and Anais, the spa consultant, is helping too. This doesn't leave much room for Lucy, and she feels unneeded. It doesn't help that her father may not be able to make it back to the US for his regular visit. Her friends, too, are being difficult. Is Yamir really her boyfriend? Is Sunny mad at her? Lucy tries to have a positive attitude and realize that whining doesn't help, only her own efforts can, but it's hard when so much is going on.
Strengths: I adored My Life in Pink and Green, and Greenwald titles are very popular with my students. Definitely will buy this one.
Weaknesses: Lucy seemed to whine more in this book, but it's a small quibble!
