I’ll Love You When You’re More like Me Audiobook, by M. E. Kerr

Publisher Description

Buddy Boyle lives year-round with his family in unfashionable Seaville, New York, in a cramped little house on the bay. Skye Pennington spends the summers nearby on lavish estate complete with ocean view and a butler named Peacock. But Skye and Buddy fall in love anyway. And every once in a while they visit Buddy's estranged grandfather, who makes them forget they're from opposite sides of town. Then a reporter appears, searching for a man known as Gentlehands, a man with a horrifying past. Who is Gentlehands? And what is his connection to Buddy's handsome, aristocratic grandfather? The mystery threatens to shatter Buddy and Skye's relationship, and change their lives forever.

"I know my colleagues are sick of this one, but the kids still LOVE it! It does seem dated, but unfortunately, there is always something in the news to which we can relate it. And I'm a fan of anything that gets kids to read. Kerr does that."

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Terrific "it-was-the-summer-I-fell-in-love" novel, with some classism issues and a nice big dose of moral ambiguity. "

    " Book on CD. It was an interesting story, but I didn't relate well to any of the characters. I like how the main character's feelings were not so cut and dry when he found out the truth about his grandfather, but for all her 'deep' talk the love interest seemed kind of shallow to me. "

    " The plot unfurled really slowly and the conflict was kind of hazy and unreal. Overall the story just moved slowly and ended abruptly. "

    " This book was a quick read. I thought it was an interesting look into a unique moral dilemma and the way that the main character dealt with it. I'd recommend it for a quick - but not light - read. Overall 3 stars. "

    " The book was so bad the teacher told us to stop reading it. Can you imagine? Oh well, maybe it would be better seven years later... I'll never know. Life is too short to read it again. "

    " So I'm using this one to try to teach some active reading strategies. Uhhh, bad choice. Now I know why most teachers don't bother teaching it to our juniors. What a snooze so far. If you can't hook me in the first 2 chapters, forget it. I'll suffer through though for the sake of the children. Yawn. "
