About this ebook

In this sequel to How to Ruin a Summer Vacation, EVERYTHING in sixteen-year-old Amy Nelson Barak’s life is going wrong! Her mom got married and moved to the suburbs, and now they are going to have a baby. Amy moves in with her dad in Chicago and signs him up for an online dating service. His first four dates are that night . . . What else? Her dog Mutt impregnated her grumpy neighbor’s prized poodle, so Amy will actually have to get a part-time job to pay for half the veterinary bill. And there’s this totally annoying boy, Nathan Rubin, who just moved into her apartment building. Luckily, Amy has a cute boyfriend named Avi. Only he’s more like a non-boyfriend considering Avi is in the Israeli army for the next three years. What’s a girl to do when everyone is conspiring to ruin her life?

Ratings and reviews

Read this book a few years ago and just happened to stumble upon it and let me just say it had me hooked all over again. Truly love this book! My only regret is that I have already finished all 3 books of the series. Still wishing the author would make one more. Believe me when I say you will fall in love with the main characters and this series will leave you with wanting more.

I looove Simone Elkeles's style of writing. Her book is super addicting and fun to read. Please, I'm BEGGING you, to read this book! It is sooo amazing! By the way: It's the sequel to How to Ruin my Summer Vacation.

Definitely my fav out of all the books. It had me up out my seat running around screaming " WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?!?"
