Historia
When Sam's best friend gets her first boyfriend, she's not ready to spend the summer listening to the two of them call each other "pookie." Sick of being a third wheel, Sam applies to be a counselor-in-training at Whispering Pines camp in the New York Catskills. But what she doesn't realize is that it's not going to be all Kumbaya sing-alongs and gooey s'mores. If Ashley, the alpha queen of Whispering Pines, doesn't ruin Sam's summer, then her raging crush on the surfer-blond and flirtatious Hunter just might.

He was tall, at least six feet, with dirty blond hair that hung over his eyes. His T-shirt read Nietzsche Is My Homeboy. So, that was Matt. Who Julie Seagles likes. A lot. But there is also Finn. Who she flat out loves. Complicated? Awkward? Completely. But really, how was this freshly-minted Boston transplant and newbie college freshman supposed to know that she would end up living with the family of an old friend of her mother’s? This was all supposed to be temporary.

Resumen del Editor
Isabelle Scott’s life may not be easy, but she loves it. She is a star swimmer and lifeguard, has great friends, and has been spending the summer with Brayden, a cute surfer—though they’re just friends. But her grandmother, with whom she’s lived since her mother died five years earlier, is declining quickly, and Izzie’s whole world is upended. She’s whisked away from the poor, rough neighborhood where she grew up to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousins in the exclusive Emerald Cove.
Mirabelle Monroe leads a charmed life: her father is a former baseball star about to run for the United States Senate. She’s popular and beautiful and has a super cute jock boyfriend. But when her cousin, Izzie, comes to live with her family, her well-ordered world starts to unravel. It doesn’t help that Mira’s best friend and queen bee, Savannah, hates Izzie from the start, maybe because Izzie seems to be so close to Savannah’s boyfriend, Brayden. And Mira doesn’t know whether to choose her friends and status at school or her family.
As Izzie and Mira try to navigate their new lives, family secrets are dug up and the girls learn what friends and family truly mean.
Jen Calonita certainly has the inside scoop on young Hollywood. A former senior entertainment editor at Teen People, she has interviewed everyone from Reese Witherspoon to Zac Efron.

Sixteen-year-old Finley Price has perfected two things: how to direct a world-class production and how to fly way, way under the radar. The only person who ever seems to notice Finley is her best friend and godparents' son, Oliver Bertram. Since Finley moved in with her godparents after the death of her father, she and Oliver have grown close. If Finley could just take Oliver's constant encouragement to heart and step out of the shadows, she'd finally chase her dream of joining the prestigious Mansfield Theater.

Historia
Norris is clever, cynical, and quite possibly too smart for his own good. A Black French Canadian, he knows from watching American sitcoms that those three things don’t bode well when you are moving to Texas. Plunked into a new high school, Norris finds himself cataloging everyone he meets: the Cheerleaders, the Jocks, the Loners, and even the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Making a ton of friends has never been a priority for him, and this way he can at least amuse himself until it’s time to go back to Canada, where he belongs. Yet those labels soon become actual people to Norris....

Cameron Bates (Cam) could have almost any girl at Franklin High School...except for the one he wants. Unfortunately Bebe seems to be immune to his flirty charm and good looks, which means one of two things: a) she's completely oblivious to how he feels, or b) she's just not into him. If that's the case, declaring his love would be disastrous for their friendship. Bianca Barnes (Bebe) has a huge problem: the universe hates her. Every time she admits feelings for a boy, he ends up falling for her sweet, popular, and beautiful sister Beth.

And Jo reluctantly agrees.

Great Characters!
I cannot believe how taken I am with Belles!
This is not a genre I enjoy at all - there is nothing more painful or vapid to me then pretty rich girls going to pretty rich girl parties and wallowing in pretty rich girl drama.
So why did I buy this book? I honestly have no idea! I think it was an expiring-credits impulse-purchase and it sat in my library for well over a year before I gave it a chance.
Then why the hell did I love it so much?!?! I think that all comes down to the characters.
Calontia has crafted related characters despite the over-the-top uber-wealthy prep-school world they inhabit.
They are all character you've seen before like the rags-to-riches girl out of her depth on a red carpet, the popular girl who feels out of place in the mean girl clique and begins to fancy the artsy scholarship student over her QB BF or the rich boy who doesn't want his parents lavish lifestyle and hides his love of surfing.
But Calonita has written them with all with real heart so I actually CARED about their otherwise 'champagne problems'.
She made them sympathetic and believable so I was completely invested in the story despite knowing exactly where it was going (including the 'twist' ending) from chapter one.
I loved it so much I have immediately purchased the next two books in the series and can't wait to spend more time in the characters lives!
I highly recommend this to YA readers who like luxe worlds and character dramas as it easily the best and most relatable I've ever read.

Perfect for the CW
Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I first heard her narrate "Stay" and I loved her performance. She does a great job in this book also. She definitely adds to the high school melodrama.
Was Belles worth the listening time?
It was a nice book. This would be perfect as a CW show. There was definitely a lot of "mean girl" drama which worked well with the story's setting: an opulent high school in the south where the rich kids rule. This is not a complicated tale. Very easy listen.
Any additional comments?
I thought I would try this book because it was on sale. It's not a favorite of mine but it was good for what it was.

Like a modern day Great Gatsby!
I was drawn to this series bc I love Jen Calonita’s writing. This is my first introduction to Julia Whelan who does an outstanding job with all of the voices. I particularly love the one she does for Mira. Even the men are convincing and easily distinguishable. Their accents are so charming that I found myself, a born and raised NYer mimicking the belles in my speech from time to time haha.
This book is aimed at teens but I’m in my 30s and loved it. I really wish books like this would be classified as young adult/adult and not just the former. This book has a sprawling list of characters but I found them all easy to follow. I def fell in love with Emerald Cove and its rich slew of characters!
(Spoilers) As an english major, avid reader and inspiring writer, I was able to spot the main twist from the very beginning but that did not make it any less enjoyable and I was of course still hungry for the specific details. I love how the story is told in third person from both Mira and Izzy, not just one or the other.
I am not much for politics but Bill’s career plays a much needed role in this intricate tale. I found Aunt Maureen to be amazing the way she welcomed Izzy into their home and family with such grace and sincerity. I wish they would have made Izzy and Mira more than 2 months apart, I’d say 4-6 would have been a little more believable and classy. But it was good groundwork that he and Maureen were high school sweethearts. Otherwise it would have seemed too convenient that he knocked up two different women in same year.
All of the plot points of the story are very compelling. We have our two protagonists trying to coexist together and then the villainous Savannah and love interests for the girls along with their mysterious family drama. Very exciting stuff! It is amazing how I was able to feel for both girls whose feelings are valid despite their drastically different upbringings.
My impatience and hatred for Savannah was palpable as the story went on after she put both girls through such hell in different ways. Glad she got hers in the end. It was amazing how many different plotlines were going on but they all flowed into each other nicely. I loved how Izzy helped Mira be more of herself and how Mira helped temper Izzy’s rough edges.
The toxic relationship of Savannah and Brayden was very well done. Ppl often forget how abusive women can be, it does not only come from men. Mira’s cute but doomed relationship with Taylor was also very interesting and highlighted well what happens when ppl want different things.
I loved the dynamic between Emerald Cove and Harborside. Was really like a modern day great gatsby for teens! It just goes to show that ppl can be different or the same from all walks of life. So many from Emerald Cove were ugly on the inside and while they had more money, did not contribute as much to society as Izzy did.
All in all, def a major recommend!

Nice!
I enjoyed the story and all the characters. One of the early work of narrator it seems. I am a fan but couldn’t recognize her voice here. Thumbs up for me.
