      I just started reading Girl Overboard by Aimee Ferris.  I chose this book for many reasons.  The first reason why I chose this book was that it is about a girl, Marina, who is dreaming about becoming a marine biologist which is one of my ideal careers, so this book is relatable.  Another reason I chose this book is that it is about Marina, and a program which enables her to get some hands-on experience with fellow marine lovers, who are appearing to cause drama for the protagonist.  I also choose this book because, in the description on the back of the book, it seems to entail some romance issues. 
      One of the romance issues is that Marina has a boyfriend but doesn't know if she is willing to give up her other hopes and dreams to be stuck in her hometown, Vermont with him. Another issue is during her program, Students Across the Seven Seas or S.A.S.S. for short, she meets a handsome and romantic Australian boy, Link, who will be in the program with her.  She also meets  other girls who are quick to flirt with Link.  She also meets Link's roommate, Ryan, who is a shy photographer who spends a lot of time in the dark room, processing his pictures. 
       My prediction is that Marina will not fall for Link but rather his eccentric roommate and photographer, Ryan, and break-up with her boyfriend back home. I predict that they will be the perfect couple, but, I believe that at the end of the book, Marina will also give up Ryan in order to fulfill her career as a marine biologist.  I think that in the future, Marina will have a successful and joyful career, and will not worry about her choice to break-up with her old boyfriend or Ryan.

  1. Sounds really interesting! I like how you included your predictions of who Marina will fall for, an how they will end up. Let me know how it turns out!
