Customer Reviews

A Great Summer Read!

I found this book to be a great addition to my summer reading list. I could completely identify with the lead character, Jen. This was one story for sure where I couldnt guess what was to happen next. I was very surprised at what happened through the course of the story but I loved every part of it. Rachel Hawthrone scores big time in my book with this one!

I really liked this book even though it has been a while since i read it but i would strongly recommend it if you like the simon pulse romantic comedies

a tie

I can't decide whether I liked this book or Caribbean Cruisin' more. both of them have their good points, and some bad ones. This one especially has Chelsea, the best friend who's decides that having a boyfriend gives her the right to treat everyone like they don't know anything about guys. although her character wasnt bad enough to make me stop reading. This book is a good book if you just want to pass the time during the summer.

After graduation Amy Chelsea and Jennifer plan to spend the summer at jens grandparents beach house. It was supposed to be all girls summer but that all changed when Chelsea's boyfriend moved in. And of course there was Dylan, the cute camper staying at the camp ground the girls worked at. Jen knew she shouldn't fall for him but you cant pick who you fall in love with. I thought it was a good book but I was annoyed at how unrealistic it was. Chelsea was so annoying and whiny that I wanted to throw her out of the house and I dont even live there! And she kept saying "you wouldn't know because you dont have a boyfriend" as if having a boyfriend gives you a right to treat your friends like crap. I was hoping through the whole book that Amy and Jen would throw her out but since they didn't the book only gets 4 stars

Great Book

I think this book is amazing. It's a romance, so if you like romance you should love this book. 3 Girls decide to go to house for the summer. It's their last summer before they go off to college, and they try to make the best of it. Unexpected things start to happen, and pretty soon the main character finds herself falling in love. Something that she hadn't planned on. THis book is good, and if you like this one you should try Carribbean Crusin. That's also a good book, but not as good as this one.
