Personal Response: I gave Envy, by Robin Wasserman a four star rating. I did not enjoy the sequel quite as much as the first, but Wasserman’s writing has me hooked. I found myself unable to put the book down yearning to read more. I found the language the author used to be fitting with the age of the characters. The story of six teenagers’ high school drama was anything but boring.
Plot:
The waiting game is not easily played by people who are use to getting exactly what they want. Kane, Harper, Miranda, and Kaia were sick of playing this game. Kane and Harper were waiting like puppy dogs drooling just waiting for something to fall from the table as Beth and Adam were still dating. Miranda was sick of being alone, and she was sick of waiting for Kane to notice her. Kaia was sick of …show more content…
She was confident and always in demand, but she wanted more than her normal random hook ups. She wanted Adam, her best friend and next door neighbor. He was attractive and sensitive, and he was dating Beth. She was all around beautiful and sweet, and her schedule was always jam packed. Kane desperately wanted her. He was the gifted jock whom Miranda pined over. Miranda was Harper’s best friend. Though she didn’t have the looks the other girls had, she had brains. Although, somehow she was hopelessly in love with Kane. Kaia was still an outsider to town, but she still was devious in her mischief. Especially in her pursuit of Jack Powell. He was the most sought after man: he looks, an accent, and money. The friends all wanted something they didn’t have, and it drove each of them crazy.
Setting:
The story took place in the small town of Grace, California. The small town added to the story. Since there wasn’t much to do for fun and recreation, the teens were always looking for the least objectionable options. Based on the references to technology, cars, and fashion trends, I was able to tell the story was set in relatively modern times.

reasons why calling is vulnerable to envy. (Chapter 15) Envy strikes at the place where our giftedness and our deepest desires are intertwined with our sense of calling. To understand ourselves, we need to know not only our gifts but also the deepest desires we long to fulfill. Our desires, needless to say, are not simply to fulfill God’s call because for every similar food and conscious desire we have other desires less conscious and often much less worthy.
