People in public school sit down for an hour or more every day and do the homework. At my school there was also a period of study hall during school where we were required to do some sort of school work (honestly I usually just played computer games though). We usually had time to work for about fifteen minutes during our classes to. Idk how long the book you are supposed to read is. But if it is a novel. I would reccomend reading 4-5 chapters a day. I also don't now what you mean by have to write down what is in the book. but I have done a few 3 - 5 paragraph summaries for my classes in the past, and if I had forgot about them until a week before they were due, I would write it over a period of three days. the first two would be writing it, and the last would be revising and checking grammar. I would reccomend leaving an extra buffer day at the end before it is due. It is okay to start writing these before you finish the book as long as you go back and add any new information after you finish reading.

There are also some websites that can be helpful for understanding the plot of books. I am not going to list them here though because in many circumstances they are used for cheating. If you do find one of these please only use it as a study tool and don't plagiarize. It is wrong to steal others work, and most teachers know these websites and check them if they suspect any plagiarism. So it is very likely you would get caught.
