Hello readers!
It’s Miranda, one of your new TBF bloggers.
So I just finished reading 52 Reasons to Hate My
Father by Jessica Brody, author of My Life Undecided and The Karma Club. For
Meg Cabot fans, this book has your name on it! Take a look:
Being
America’s favorite heiress is a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.
Lexington
Larrabee has never to work a day in her life. After all, she’s the heiress to
the multi-billion-dollar Larrabee Media empire. And heiresses are not supposed
to work. But then again, they’re not supposed to crash brand new Mercedes
convertibles into convenience stores on Sunset Blvd either.
Which
is why, on Lexi’s eighteen birthday, her ever-absent, tycoon father decides to
take a more proactive approach to her wayward life. Every week for the next
year, she will have to take on a different low-wage job if she ever wants to
receive her beloved trust fund. But if there’s anything worse than working as a
maid, a dishwasher, and a fast-food restaurant employee, it’s dealing with
Luke, the arrogant, albeit moderately attractive, college intern her father has
assigned to keep tabs on her.
In
a hilarious “comedy of heiress” about family, forgiveness, good intentions, and
best of all, second chances, Lexi learns that love can be unconditional, money
can be immaterial, and, regardless of age, everyone needs a little saving. And
although she might have 52 reasons to hate her father, she only needs one
reason to love him.
It was so much fun being inside the mind of
Lexington. She’s a bit of a drama queen but has a really kind heart. Brody did
a fantastic job having Lexi grow throughout the book. She became independent
and more down-to-earth.
In the book, we get a glimpse of what a celebrity’s
life might be like and it’s not all that glamorous; her father doesn’t pay any
attention to her, she has numerous “babysitters” and she pretends to be someone
she’s not in front of the paparazzi. As she works through her 52 jobs, Lexi noticed
things she never had; a loving, happy family, faith from others and genuine love.
So add this book to your to-read list. By the end of
the book, you’ll have 52 reasons to love Jessica Brody! Promise.
