Customer Reviews

A Great Book

I still remember when I read this book in junior high school, and I'm getting ready to graduate this May from college, yet it still puts a smile on my face when I think about the book. It was one of those stories that you think could never happen to you, but it can, and it did happen to Melanie. I really enjoyed it, I suggest it to anyone looking for a lighthearted, good read. And for a little bit of a sequel, read "Eleven Kids, One Summer," which features Melanie, Justin and their families once again. But first, read "10 Kids No Pets."

So Good, So Good

This book was awesome. I never thought that Justin was a tv star. I was just as suprised as Melanie when I read the part about him being a star. It has all the things I'm looking for in a book. It has romance, twists, and it keeps you wanting to know more about their new found romance. I just wished it would have gave you a better picture of how their relationship worked out in the future. It needs a sequal.

Just a Summer Romance

I just read this book and i thought it was fantastic. I could relate to Melanie in so many ways. Justin is everything a guy should be because he was so sweet and kind and just a gentlemen. I knew something was odd with him going to "work" but i couldn't see it. Ann M. Martain it one of my favorite authors, so i knew this would be good. I hope theres a sequal coming.

BEST BOOK I READ SO FAR

I first read this book when i was in Junior High school in the 7th grade. I hated books, but one time i had to do a report in order to pass my class. The teacher gave us a few books and we had to pick one of them. I picked Just A Summer Romance because it looked intresting. I started to read the book, and from the first page i read i liked it. I liked it because it reflected my live. I loved that book so much that i read it in three days, i always read the book during math, spanish, social studies and english class, i use to wake up at three in the morning to read the book because i was wondering what would happen next. Now i'm a senior in High School and i still haven't forgotten about that love story.

I loved the book overall.

I loved the book because I love reading about teenage love and romance and seeing what happens in the end, whether they stay together or they split apart. In this book Melanie Braderman falls in love on Fire Island with "Hart- throb," Justin Hart, who is a teen actor. They meet because Mel's brother throws a frisbee and accidentally hits Justin with it, when the wind catches it. If you love reading about teenaged love you'll love this exciting book
