                                                                        Forbidden Boy
This is a book that takes place in Los Angeles in the present. I started and finished this book (along with many others) this week. It is about a girl named Julianna who loved 2 things the most
1. art
2. the beach
Her older sister and her father all live in a cute, small, and retro house on the beach. However, rich families are always trying to drive them out so they can add on to their huge mansions around them. Her family had huge mansion houses around them and new ones are always popping up. It is ruining the beach that they live on, the beach Julianna's mother loved. Julianna and her sister lost their mother when they were very young, she died of illness. Julianna's mother was a great artists, and so is Julianna. One of Julianna's goals is to finish all her mothers painting that she left unfinished. So her goal by the end of the summer is to recreate a painting in her mothers style for her mother. She also gets an incredible job. She is working on an eco friendly home that is being built and she gets to work on all the artists aspects of it! She is also the only girl on the construction sight. One day she goes to a party and meats a boy; Remi. Sparks fly and its all woopty doo; wrong. Well, at first it is. Its all great, until she finds out that he is the son of the owners of the monster house next door that is pushing Julianna out of their home. Her and her sister agree that he is off limits, but she continues to see him privately, she cant help it. He is also the boss on the construction sight of the Eco friendly home. Things are going great, until her sister finds out. At one point, during Julianna's and her sister not-speaking point and huge flood happens and destroys Julianna's painting and the house. Julianna fixes the entire house and when her dad gets back she confess about Remi. Her father is completely ok with it, because he believes that what Remis parents are doing is wrong, but Remi is a different person. Her sister forgives her and realizes that it is ok. In the end, Remi also resolves the feud in between the two families, because he comes up with a solution for their house that doesn't involve taking Julianna's away and that doesn't involve destroying the beach in the process either. They all lived Happily ever after.
The End.


***I know this isn't usually included in these posts, but I just wanted to state that this was not my favorite book. It was a little too lovey-dovey for me and was all a little too cliche and simple. Everything turned out picture perfect and there were not to many problems. Also the way the characters were portrayed was very minimal. There was not a lot of depth to it. Also it was just annoying how everything worked out so perfect. The things I liked about this book though was that they showed a back story to Julianna and Remi's lives. Also it raised awareness about trying to save the planet and be Eco friendly and i also enjoyed and related to Juliannas passion for art and some of the struggles she went through. It was an ok novel. 3/5 stars
