Commentary To Books Carpe Diem
“I’ve got my entire life planned out for the next ten years — including my PhD and Pulitzer Prize,” claims 16-year-old overachiever Vassar Spore, daughter of overachiever parents, who in true overachiever fashion named her after an elite women’s college. Vassar expects her sophomore summer to include AP and AAP (Advanced Advanced Placement) classes. Surprise! Enter a world-traveling relative who sends her plans into a tailspin when she blackmails Vassar’s parents into forcing their only child to backpack with her through Southeast Asia. On a journey from Malaysia to Cambodia to the remote jungles of Laos, Vassar sweats, falls in love, hones her outdoor survival skills — and uncovers a family secret that turns her whole world upside-down. Vassar Spore can plan on one thing: she’ll never be the same again.Rating Epithetical Books Carpe Diem

Vassar Spore. 16 years old. 5.3 GPA. Named after a very prestigious women's college by her parents. She's got everything planned for her life, and I do mean everything. She vows to spend her summer improving her academics by attending a bunch of classes. But just when she's about to embark her classes, she receives a birthday package from her grandma in Southeast Asia. What's in the package? A plane ticket to Singapore and a birthday note from her Grandma Gerd. Grandma Gerd offers anVassar Spore is a very focused and determined young woman. She always has a plan, and she has her life scheduled down to the minute. When her bizarre, bohemian, artist grandmother blackmails Vassars parents into sending her on a trek through Southeast Asia, Vassar initially fumes (this was NOT Part of The Plan) and then calmly makes some Adjustments. Traveling with Grandma Gerd, however, upsets everything. The woman will not stick to a schedule. But Vassars determined not to hate her AND to

I laughed throughout this book - very funny!
I am so glad that I bought this book before the lockdown!I just finished reading this fantastic book. I will nevwr forget the lessons that I learned from here. I find it interesting because I'm currently 16, an achiever, and a planner just like Vassar. I feel like I am destined to read this book right now. It made me realize that life is uncertain so you just gotta LIM!!! It taught me how to enjoy my life as it is right now (even if there's a pandemic). Thank you so much Autumn Cornwell for
Wow. Ya, wow. What a blank brained book. Don't get me wrong here. Carpe Diem is a great philosophical statement. But I think it has been more artfully stated in media such as the Dead Poet's Society with Robin Williams. If you haven't seen that movie by the way, do. It's also more impactful in those stories.Vassar has practically been engeniered to succeed. She's named after a prep school for Pete's sake! Any gap in her plans and she will not win the Nobel Peice Prize. That really equals death
