BOOK NAME: Shug
AUTHOR: Jenny Han
I just finished a really good book called Shug. This book is about a girl named Annemarie, only her family calls her Shug. There are two reasons why she is called Shug, one because it is short for sugar, two because of a book called The Color Purple. That is her mom's favorite book. There is a character named Shug Avery in it.
Shug is a very outgoing person and demanding. She comes from a small town and everyone loves her. She has two best friends, Mark and Elaine. She says Mark is her guy best friend and Elaine is her girl best friend. She and Mark have been best friends since forever, and they are neighbors. Then when she gets to junior high everything changes. Mark prefers his guy friends over her, and Elaine starts hanging out with other girls. That makes Shug feel bad because she doesn't like the other girls that Elaine is hanging out with.
To make things worse, Shug's sister Celia is the prettiest girl in town and all the boys love her. Shug thinks of herself as too tall, too freckled and not pretty. She also has to tutor a boy that she hates. She thinks her life is going down the drain. I really enjoyed this book and I think a lot of other girls would too. I liked how you could actually relate to it and that this could happen to a real person. The author described things very well so I could see how everything looked. I think the most interesting part of this book was when she gets her first kiss at the end of it. How exciting!

Nice!!!!
I SO WANT TO READ IT.
Thnks for the info and the low-down!!
This book doesn't sound that bad. I might read it. :)
id like to read it.
It sounds pretty good. I haven't read it, but I think we have it. I kind of wish you didn't give away the ending, though.
I LOVE this book. it was recommended to me by a classmate and i loved it. i ate this book up like a piece of bacon. i think it's sad that her parents fight a lot.
OH MY GOSH!!! My friend read this book and she said I should read it! I did and a fell in love with it!!! It is soooooooo good!!! I think that Annemarie's first kiss was sooooo sweet!! I loved it soooooo much!!!!! Jenny Han is a brilliant writer and I really felt like I could relate to Annemarie!! Does anyone know if she has written any other books!!!! I hope there is a sequel to Shug!! It there is I would soooooo be first in line to buy it!!!!!!
Wow. You're a little excited. I saw the book with a different cover though. It actually showed a live action version of Annemarie and Mark: eating cherry popsicles. My first kiss was in a boys bathroom, so hers was definitely better than mine. Boys bathrooms are GROSS!
My friend's dog name Scot was named after a girl named Scot in the color purple.
Krazyperson9668, Jenny Han is writing a new book called The Summer I Turned Pretty it will be relsed May 5, 2009.
OMG i didn't know that! I wonder if it's a sequel to Shug. It excites me. It would make sense if it was a sequel. After all, Annemarie is saying a lot that she isn't pretty like the other girls or her sister. but we'll have 2 wait & see.
It was really authentic. It was cute, too, and sometimes desperatetly depressing. I recommend this book to all girls who like Chicken Soup. Han makes it big with Shug and it really works.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this looks like such a good book!!!!!!!!!!!!!I have to read it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) ;) :0 <3
