The Greatest Summer Yet

I was looking around in my high school's library, last year, when I first saw the novel "That Summer" standing on the shelf. Finding the cover, and the summary very interesting, I went, and borrowed it. After reading just a few paragraphs of the story, I was hooked. I finished the whole thing in one sitting. It was one of the best novels I've ever read. I enjoyed reading about the adventures of Annie Merrill in her first summer on her own. Little did she know that this particular summer would be the most important one in her life as she finds love, and friendship with two special people. Every single character she ran into, I found memorable; Georgia, Oscar, Ruth, etc. Especially Georgia, and Oscar. Those two cracked me up. What with Georgia's bouncy personality, and Oscar's questionable obcession with sex, how could they not fail in making you laugh? I recommend "That Summer" to anyone 15 or older. Prepare for a good read, folks. Even out of print, "That Summer" will always remain dear to me, and also for you after you have finished laughing and crying your head off over the darn thing.
