Anything But Vampires

I don't know about you but I'm tired of vampires or anything else paranormal. Every once in a while I just want a book with normal people and a normal story. While the characters in this book were normal people, the story was definitely something different. Eleanor is sixteen, rebelling against her parents, into drinking and drugs....and pregnant. She waits to long to have an abortion even if she wanted to, and now has gotten herself married to her boyfriend and baby's father even though she doesn't even know if that's what she wants. When the summer starts she moves with her husband to her in-laws weight-loss summer camp. She's told she has to be a counselor but she knows nothing about dancing or crafts. To top things off, marriage is not all she expected it to be.

Throughout most of the book I hated Eleanor. She was stubborn and whiny and only thought about herself. She begins to learn how to care about, or at least be aware, of others around her while living at the camp. Of course by the end of the book she comes through but I'll let you read it for yourself to see why.
