Little Miss Red

LITTLE MISS RED

By:  Robin Palmer

FIRST SENTENCE

“Some people- actually a lot of people if you go by the amount of bumper stickers on the road- lead their lives according to the slogan ‘WWJD?’”

SUMMARY

from goodreads

Sophie Greene gets good grades, does the right thing, and has a boyfriend that her parents—and her younger brother—just love. (Too bad she doesn’t love him.)  Sophie dreams of being more like Devon Deveraux, star of her favorite romance novels, but, in reality, Sophie isn’t even daring enough to change her nail polish.  All of that changes when Sophie goes to Florida to visit her grandma Roz, and she finds herself seated next to a wolfishly good looking guy on the plane.  The two hit off, and before she knows it, Sophie’s living on the edge.  But is the drama all it’s cracked up to be?

REVIEW

This book was very loosely based on Little Red Riding Hood.  I say very loosely because Sophie went to visit her grandmother and she met Jack (the adventurous wolf) on the airplane.  That is where the comparison ends.

Instead, the lesson taught was that you should stay true to yourself.  First, Sophie wanted to be like Devon, but Devon was just a made-up character.  Then, Sophie took a walk on the wild side with Jack.  It is okay to try new things, but you must not lose sight of your true self.  I liked the lesson.

The characters were okay.  Sophie was into romance and passion.  Jack was a wild musician and not the best influence on Sophie.  I was annoyed that Sophie kept falling for Jack’s crazy schemes.  It was hard to picture a goody-two-shoes like Sophie actually doing that.  It was pretty unrealistic.

This book was okay…just okay.  It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t all that memorable either.  I was a little disappointed, because I loved Robin Palmer’s Geek Charming.
