Over the summer I read the book Make Lemonade by Virginia Wolff.
It was about  teenager named Jolly, who had two children to take care of on her own. She had to drop out of school to take care of her two children. She had been working at a factory and was barely getting paid enough, until she was fired for no reason.
       She put up a babysitting poster in LaVaughn's school so that she could find a babysitter for her children while she tried to keep a job. LaVaughn signed up because she wanted to make some extra money for a college fund. LaVaughn helps Jolly take care of her children, and fix her life.
It took me a while to really get into the book and start to enjoy it. I liked the story, but a couldn't stand the main character LaVaughn because when Jolly asks LaVaughn for money, she would use it to buy diapers which she needed for Jilly, her daughter. But LaVaughn said that the money wouldn't help, only because she was trying to save up for her college fund. LaVaughn probably would have gotten scholarships to college because she has perfect grades. Jolly really needed the money for something very important.
         Also, LaVaughn's thoughts about Jolly are very rude. She always thought poorly of Jolly, and never thought that Jolly could be good enough. Throughout the book, LaVaughn always thinks, I can't stop babysitting now because I need the money to go to college, so that I won't ever end up like Jolly. She shouldn't be thinking about quitting when Jolly's whole life depends on her. She also only thinks about the money she is getting, not about how she has to help Jolly.
         I think that Jolly deserved someone better than LaVaughn to be a babysitter for her, even though LaVaughn helped her get her life back on track.
