Peaches

I really like this book a lot. Great summer friendship book about 3 girls who are from different worlds socially but navigate their teenage years together working on a peach farm in Georgia.

Birdie, Leeda, and Murphy have absolutely nothing in common, save for the fact that they have to spend the summer working in a peach orchard. Leeda, the debutante whose father owns the orchard, is being punished for dating Rex, who's from the wrong end of town. Murphy, the wild child, is being punished for sneaking onto the orchard one night with a guy from who knows where. Birdie, Leeda's slightly chubby cousin, isn't being punished, but her mother thinks the job could be good for her. Although the three girls couldn't be more different, working together every day for months is bound to bring them together -- right? Several "misunderstandings" in the beginning make it seem impossible. But as the summer wears on, the girls come to understand each other better, and they find themselves getting along. This story about unlikely friendship is sweet without being sickly so, and the girls' acceptance of each other and the lessons they learn are far from preachy. The writing and characters present make this book as juicy as the cover, and as delectable.

oh my god! i loved this book so much i read it in two days and then i read it again the next day! the book PEACHES is about 3 very different girls (murphy-the rebel/tramp; leeda-the sweet and innocent; and birdie-loner home schooler girl that wishes she had a friend] who get together at a peachorchard [owned by birdie's dad//leeda's uncle] Murphy has to go there because she has to do voluntary work for sneaking onto the orchard. leeda has to be there because she WAS going to spend the spring break w/her [studly] boyfriend Rex but her [unloving] parents changed there mind and Birdie has to be there because her mom ran off on her and her dad so she hs to work EXTRA hard on keeping the peaches *perfect* i know what you might be thinking.. ' BiG WH00P, A PEACH 0RCHARD iN GE0RGiA.. ' but it was one of the best books i have ever read.. and im a big fan of "Y0UNG ADULT" teen books and read attleast 2 a month. i DEFiNATLEYrecomend this book to every girl that likes juicy friend ships and even juicier guys!

I absoultly loved this book! It was a great summer read and a great find! It was very insightful and it had humor and it showed how inportant friendship can be. Even if the people who become your friends are people you would never expect. It shows how making sacrifices in life helps you to grow stronger as a person. I loved this book and i cant wait to read the second one , " The secret of Peaches". I recomend this book for teenagers who just want a feel good read.

I really liked this book. While there are slight similarities to, say, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Peaches is its own great book. I actually liked it even better than The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It was sweet, and funny, and made me want to read more. So A+

I saw that the author of the Taveling Pants books recommended Peaches, and since I LOVED those books, I had to read this one. It's about three girls who probably wouldn't be friends, but then they spend a summer together. I really liked all of the girls in different ways, even though I think I'm most like Birdie (the shyest one). Anyway, I read this book in one weekend because I couldn't put it down. I was so sad when it was over!Everyone should definitely read this book!
