Reading response #3:

The Six Rules of Maybe

            The book I’m in the process of reading is called “The Six Rules of Maybe” by Deb Caletti. I’m not very far in the book but so far it something I think I could get into and really enjoy it. This is a fiction book told through the eyes of a teenage girl.

So far I’ve only read the first 3 chapters of the book, but I’m liking it. It is about a girl named Scarlet and her family. The book is told through her eyes as she goes through some surprising and big changes in her family. What has happened so far is her sister has come home from college for a visit, brings a bot they’ve never heard of let alone ever seen and BOOM shock to the family big sis is married to the mystery man and has a baby on the way.    

“And then we saw it. We both did, at the same moment.it caught the sun, so shiny and new was the gold. A wedding band. On the guys finger. We both did the same thing next, mom and me. We looked at Juliet’s left hand. And, yes, there was one there, too. That same gold band.” (pg.5)

 

This quote is one of the big things that happen in the book and it shows how you see through scarlet’s eyes as she discovers the new changes that are unfolding all around her. This is also why  chose the picture of the wedding bands, because other than also finding out her older sister Juliet is pregnant that is the only major thing that has happened.
