![]() Jersey tomatoes are the Best is a realistic fiction novel that is about two teenage girls who live in New Jersey. 16 year olds Eva and Henry have been best friends since they started school. Both of them are excellent athletes. Eva is an elite ballet dancer and Henry is really good at tennis. Henry is getting watched by colleges for her tennis and gets invited to a tennis camp in Florida. Eva also gets invited to a ballet camp in New York City. When the best friends are apart Eva faces some challenges. Eva is obsessed with physical perfection and she starts heading towards the path to anorexia. Henry and Eva’s parents are very competitive. Henry’s dad is overbearing but very dedicated to helping Henry with her tennis. Eva’s mom is very involved in Eva’s ballet dancing and advocates for her. I chose this book because I liked the summary and I also chose it because my dad grew up in New Jersey. I thought that reading this book would give me a better insight on what life is like in New Jersey. My dad said that people from Jersey are tough so I wanted to see if that was the same case in the book. Overall I really liked this book! Usually I find books boring but this one I liked to read. I give it a five out of five. -AM, grade 10
