[quote=Anonymous]What is everyone reading this month?
I just finished listening to "My life with the Walter boys".

What is it about?
It is a book for teens.  It is about a 16 year old girl whose parents and older sister all died in a car crash.  She had been living in a penthouse apartment in NYC and attending a private school for girls.  After her family died, she went to live with her mom's childhood BFF on a horse ranch in Colorado.  The family she moves in with has 12 kids, plus her.  There are 11 boys and one other girl.

What do you think of it?
I thought it was dumb, from beginning to end.  It was not at all what I was expecting.  I had expected it would be about the girl's adjustment from city life to rural life, and from being part of a small family to being part of a big family.  Instead it was mostly about teenage horniness and her trying to decide which of the teenage boys she most wanted to date. The author wrote the book so that there were  sets of twin teenage boys, and teenage boy cousins living there. 
I looked up the author at some point while listening.  She wrote it on wattpad when she was 15. It has been made into a netflix show.

Why did you pick that particular book to read?
I thought it was going to be like a Little house on the prairie type of book.
Boy was I wrong.  I kept listening to it mostly just because it was already downloaded and kept playing while I did yardwork.

How did you acquire the book? 
Downloaded it from my library website. [/quote]
