Honey baby sweetheart pdf

May 30, Someoneyouknow rated it it was ok. I've read this book several months ago and I didn't particularly enjoy it. The writing style is pretty good, but I had a problem with the characters and the way the author tells her story - like it's a cautionary tale and it should teach teenagers what to avoid in life and how to behave. I absolutely hate it when the author tries to teach the readers a lesson! The moral of this tale is simple : you shouldn't let other people influence you in a bad way, you shouldn't value your boyfriend's opinio I've read this book several months ago and I didn't particularly enjoy it.

The moral of this tale is simple : you shouldn't let other people influence you in a bad way, you shouldn't value your boyfriend's opinions more than your family's,love is not always the answer, you should be an honest person, a good daughter, yadda yadda yadda. My second big problem with this book was all the members of the Book Club and the storyline with Charles and Rose.

I mean, it was just plain boring to read about them because I dislike reading about old people and the author wrote like a pages revolving around them!!! What's so interesting about a couple of old geezers who have been in love for 50 years and finally get to meet each other again?

I also felt that the author simply used the characters Ruby and Travis and her Mom's and Dad's too to prove several points - i.

This is definitely not the worst book I read, the writer has a way with words, but the story was too long and moralizing.

Ruby McQueen's summer is not turning out at all like she'd thought it would - this "Quiet Girl" is managing to be loud in all sorts of unexpected ways.

There so much about this book, and these characters that I loved - Ruby was as real to me as a fictional character can be: Sixteen year old NTE was right there with her while she did all sorts of stupid things, not knowing how to make herself stop.

There was the relationship between Ruby and her mother, Ann, which felt so true that it almost hurt Ruby McQueen's summer is not turning out at all like she'd thought it would - this "Quiet Girl" is managing to be loud in all sorts of unexpected ways. There was the relationship between Ruby and her mother, Ann, which felt so true that it almost hurt; or the elderly members of Ann's Book Club, who were so funny, so honest, and so realistic that you almost feel you could run into them at your own library.

Anyways, there were a million good things about this book, and I have at least 6 sticky notes sticking out of it in three different colors, because I never am reading in the same place , so that's a real sign to me that it was pretty awesome.

Must pick up some more Deb Caletti books - if you're a Sarah Dessen fan, then this is your kind of writer too. Aug 11, Brenda Lane rated it really liked it Shelves: read-in As to the plot it was quite amazing, sure it's not the most action packed book in history but it was so poetic and deep and I was able to personally relate to the main character.

I love all the secondary characters they were so real and well created I'm quite sure this is one of my favorite books ever. Mar 28, Lisa rated it it was amazing. Brilliant book.

It was a free read on Riveted and since I had yet to read a book by Deb Caletti, I decided to give it a read. There are two main storylines. First, while walking home from work she passes the new Becker house and one day meets Travis Becker. This sets off a fast and spiraling relationship. She rides on his motorcycle, walks along train tracks, skips out on work, and jumps out the way of a car at the last second.

Being with Travis is dangerous and Ruby knows this, but she wants to be around him. Until Travis asks her to do something that she regrets and hurts someone she cares for. The second storyline is after this event, when Ruby's mother drags Ruby to the Casserole Queens book club, a book club of old ladies and Harold.

When they find out that the book they are reading is connected to one of the Queen's lost loves, the book club turns into a kidnapping from a senior home and a road trip.

The writing in this book was wonderful. Every small detail was described and every character gets careful attention. I really loved the narration in this sense and it really made me feel like I was within the setting.

The observations from Ruby as she tells us these small details did not feel at all like an interruption or unnecessary, they felt natural. They made me feel like I was really seeing these places through her eyes and hearing her tell me the story. That said, her narration did bother at some points when she would step aside and hint that there were darker things to come, they had no idea what was about to happen, etc. I'm not really a fan of narration that vaguely hints at what is to come in an unhelpful manner.

I don't mind past tense, but there is no reason for these vague hints as they don't really do anything for the story. Unlike other books with multiple storylines, these did not weave very well with each other. The Travis Plot focuses on Ruby as she starts up a relationship with a rich, bad boy. This did explore unhealthy relationships a little, along with first love, but it was very quick.

We did not see very many in the moment interactions with Ruby and Travis, but we are told enough to know that he does not have respect for the rules and that he has no regards for Ruby's safety. This was fine because it showed that a "bad boy" isn't always who you want and you should not change yourself for that, but once we get into the Book Club Plot, Travis is barely mentioned.

I will mention that the Travis Plot also had a lot of scenes involving Ruby's dad, who left her mother, but still comes home every once and a while and that her mother always remains hopeful that Ruby's dad will stay this time.

I do like how the family struggles and the Travis Plot went together. They were described similarly at points. I liked the Book Club Plot the best out of the two storylines. I just liked the interactions between the Casserole Queens. The Casserole Queens find out that one of their newest members who has just suffered a stroke may have been romantically involved with a famous author they are reading a memoir from.

They want to reunite them on a road trip and since I love road trips in books, I loved the inclusion of this, as well as the bookish moments. There are some oddly humorous moments in this part, but it is a bit bittersweet. There is a lot of healing with this part, with Ruby kind of dealing with what happened with Travis not much though because he is barely mentioned , but also Ruby's mother healing from what happened with Ruby's father, and Ruby and her mother getting back on soild ground together.

Of course, love is involved in this part to, but it was a sweeter love than what Ruby had with Travis and I liked how these two types of love were shown, with very different age groups. I also liked that there was not a major romantic focus for Ruby because it felt more realistic.

While the storylines felt a bit separate for me and some parts went by too quickly, I loved the writing in this book. I will likely be reading more from Deb Caletti in the future.

To say that I was utterly conflicted about this book would be an understatement. I was incredulous at some of the characters, I had difficulty digesting what the author really wanted to convey, and I had trouble joining together the two seemingly disjointed sub-stories involved.

Suddenly, all she ever thought Originally posted here. Suddenly, all she ever thought she was went flying out the window — she finds herself doing things she never would have done as The Quiet Girl , and justifies her actions by invoking love.

The first half of the book was all about Ruby and her shenanigans with Travis. Yes, shenanigans. I initially failed to grasp the entire point of her risky and intrepid actions; she annoyed me all the way to my fingertips. She allowed herself to be wrapped around Travis' rich little finger, who wheedled and charmed shamelessly.

In any case, Travis was depicted that way — as someone who has the effect of transforming The Quiet Girl into The Unthinking Girl in, oh, just five minutes?

Yes, Ruby does a complete turnaround in the first few seconds minutes that Travis enters her life — or rather, she enters their front gate and presto! They were making out before she was out the door. For reals, yo. But at the time I was reading them, I was simply irked. But of course, she had to do all those in order for the author to stress on a valid point.

All I had to do was to figure them out. Quite honestly, this part was for me the highlight of the book. Not the road trip, no, or the part where some risky plan was involved which was a tad unrealistic, to be candid , but the part where love finds a way to become. This is especially true in the case of the old people, Charlie and Lillian albeit with a little outside help, yes.

For me, it was pure and simple stupidity, to which we all succumb once in our lives. Perhaps, when we were sixteen? My own childhood was very quiet and uneventful, as far as I can recall, as life was more simple way back. Ruby's errant behavior made me contemplate about how I would raise my own daughter to become more responsible, how to act accordingly when faced with a particular situation, how to weigh her options before deciding on anything. More important, however, I realized how much I would have to prepare for the eventual heartaches that she will inevitably suffer as she adds more teen years to her age.

When my daughter becomes sixteen, I will do absolutely everything in my power for her not to become Ruby. Is it any surprise that it is lifted from the story of the older people, not Ruby's? Oct 06, Melanie Barrall rated it it was amazing. Her dad, Chip had left her family a little after Chip Jr. Ann still loved Chip and so whenever he came to visit, she would be in a great mood and buy expensive food for them, even though it was hard becau Honey, Baby, Sweetheart by Deb Caletti- pages In the book Honey, Baby, Sweetheart, by Deb Caletti, Ruby Mc Queen, the protagonist, is 16 years old and lives in the small town of Nine Mile Falls, Texas with her mom, Ann and her brother, Chip Jr.

Ann still loved Chip and so whenever he came to visit, she would be in a great mood and buy expensive food for them, even though it was hard because she was only a librarian. Ruby and her mom learned to protect each other. Ruby falls in love with the rich, stunning, daredevil, Travis Becker. As soon as she meets him, Travis takes her on his motorcycle.

Around him, she becomes the opposite of her normal self- the quiet one. She becomes more risky and does immoral things she would never dreamed of doing herself.

Travis pulls her into situations that she hates. With him, she loses more than she gains. At the club they find out that one of the members used to be dating the writer, Charles Whitney, and was part of this love story. They decided that they should bring her back to her long lost lover for the rest of her life. Being involved in the Casserole Queens, Ruby and her mom are able to let go of their heartaches, and Ruby was able to let go of her former lover.

I think that one of the main morals of this book is that sometime you might love a person for what they look like or something they own or what they do. Maybe you love something they do that changes you. In this book, Ruby thought she was in love with Travis, but she ended up not liking the things he made her do. He tore her apart with his actions.

She finds out that maybe, she was just in love with his motorcycle. I rate this book 5 stars because I think the story is well told. Ruby ends up following her conscious and does the right thing. The story has many lessons and I really love the way it teaches them. It teaches about love and also moral values. I like the way the story is told and the foreshadowing that builds suspense. It definitely made me want to keep reading!

I think lots of girls will enjoy this book and some may be able to relate to the story. Jan 10, Derrith rated it really liked it Shelves: young-adult. If you are looking for a typical teen love story,look elsewhere. Yes, it's true that a portion of the book is taken up with the story of how Ruby falls for Travis. But from the beginning,we know things will not work out. I heard that she was a great author but I honestly hated this book. First there was the smell of fresh tumbled earth, and then the smell of mud, and finally ssweetheart cement cxletti asphalt, new wood.

One of the members of the book club, an elderly woman recently debilitated by a stroke, turns out to be the real-life love of an author whose book they are studying.

I'm one of those people doomed to be known by a single, dominant feature. I'm The Quiet Girl. I even heard someone say it a few years ago, as I sat in a bathroom stall. I think it was Wendy Craig, whose ankles I had just whacked with too much pleasure during floor hockey.

And then came the answer: "Oh, is she That Quiet Girl? She is probably right that personality plays a part. I sometimes feel less hardy and cut out for the world than the people around me, too sensitive, the kind of person whose heart goes out to inanimate objects -- the sock without a partner, a field of snow interrupted by footprints, the lone berry on a branch. But it is also true that humiliating experiences can wither your confidence sure as salt on a slug. I was reasonably outgoing in the fifth grade, before I slipped on some glossy advertising circulars in our garage, broke my tailbone, and had to bring an inflatable doughnut to sit on at school.

Before this I would actually raise my hand, stand at the front of a line, not be afraid to be noticed. My stomach seizes up into knots of humiliation just remembering that doughnut. It looks like a toilet seat, Brian Holmes cracked, and the above mentioned Wendy Craig laughed. And he was right; it did -- like those puffy ones that you see in tacky, overdecorated bathrooms.

I had begun to put it all behind me, pardon the pun. I'd nearly erased the memory of Mark Cummings and Dede Potter playing Frisbee with the doughnut during lunch, trying instead to remember what my mother told me, that Brian Holmes would no doubt end up prematurely bald and teaching remedial math, and that Mark Cummings was gay, only he didn't know it yet.

Then it happened again: humiliating experience, part two. Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water. This time it was my own fault. I'd placed a pair of minipads in the armpits of my blouse so I wouldn't soak my underarms with nervous sweat during a science speech, and one sailed out as I motioned to my display board. At home, peeling the paper strips and sticking the pads in my shirt had seemed ingenious.

Why had no one thought of this before? But as soon as I started to speak, I could feel the right one loosen and slip with every small gesture. I tried to keep my arm clutched tight to my side, soldierlike. Just because an organism is one-celled, doesn't mean it is dull and uninteresting. Finally, I had no choice but to flip the page of my board, and down the minipad shot like a toboggan on an icy slope, landing on the floor in white, feminine-hygiene victory.

The crowds roared. So I became quiet. This seemed the safe thing to do when embarrassments hunted me like a stalker hunts a former lover. Again my mother tried her wisdom on me -- Laugh it off, she said. Everyone else is too busy trying to forget their own humiliations to remember yours.

You're no different than anyone else. Why do you think that years later we still have dreams that we went to school and forgot to get dressed? And again, this might be true. Still, it seems to me that if I get a pimple it will be in the middle of my forehead like an Indian bindi, and if the answer is spermatozoa, I'm the one that will be called on. I've just found that it's best to lie low. Quiet People, I can tell you, usually have friends who play the violin way, way too well, and know that continental drift isn't another way you can get your coffee at Starbucks.

Last winter, Sarah made a wild pass of her basketball and whacked Ms. Thronson of Girl's State Volleyball Championship fame on the back of the head. One minute there was Ms. Thronson, her shoulders as big as the back of a dump truck, blowing her whistle -- Threeep!

And the next minute, bam, she was down on her knees as if praying for forgiveness for making us do that unit on wrestling. Sometimes you don't know your own strength. If you are kind, or were one of my friends in the pre-doughnut days, you've cringed for me over the years, sending supportive thoughts with a glance. But maybe, just maybe, when it is my turn to read aloud in English class because reading aloud means that Mrs.

Forrester can grade papers rather than really teach , you also notice that my voice is clearer and stronger than you thought it would be. When I read Fitzgerald, when I read the part about the light at the end of Gatsby's dock, you see that Mrs.

Forrester puts down her red pen and pauses with her coffee cup halfway to her lips, her eyebrows knitted slightly in a look of the softest concentration. That's when you wonder if there might be more to me. More than the glimpse of my coat flying out behind me as I escape out the school doors toward home. At least that's what I hope you think.
