The Other Boy, by Hailey Abbott

"The Other Boy" by Hailey Abbot,  is about a spoiled girl who has everything every girl wants. Rich parents, a wonderful house, a gorgeous boyfriend. Everything is going well until her Dad makes her go to a farm-kind of a place to do work! She hates working, of course. She got everything she wanted without working, but now she has to learn. The first day of that farm she calls "hell", she meets a nice guy who helps her to get used to the new place. After being very good friends, they develop feelings for each other and the book ends at a very happy note.

This book is the most fun and "girly" book I've ever read. It's considered Romantic Comedy. I just love that kind of books and movies. This book will never let you be bored. I think girls will enjoy it more, because the narrator is a girl and she describes all the feelings she has at the moment and I think us, girls can relate to them. The best part is that she falls in love with a new guy and realizes that her spoiled boyfriend is not as good as this guy. Maddie, the narrator becomes a better person after all these adventures and I think this book teaches us that happiness is NOT only in being rich and having everything given to you without working to get it.

I think the story is something interesting to read for a short story because it talks about the girl's short bad life working at a farm. I think she doesn't want to work because then you would have to wake up early to go to work and you would have to work for a few hours everyday or some days.Another reason why I think she doesn't want to work is because her family is rich, why would you need to work when your family is wealthy, or maybe her parents want her to learn about a life skill in which is working.
