Summary: courtesy of goodreads.com a
long, hot summer...
That's what Macy has to look forward to
while her boyfriend, Jason, is away at Brain Camp. Days will be spent
at a boring job in the library, evenings will be filled with
vocabulary drills for the SATs, and spare time will be passed with
her mother, the two of them sharing a silent grief at the traumatic
loss of Macy's father.
But sometimes unexpected things can
happen—things such as the catering job at Wish, with its
fun-loving, chaotic crew. Or her sister's project of renovating the
neglected beach house, awakening long-buried memories. Things such as
meeting Wes, a boy with a past, a taste for Truth-telling, and an
amazing artistic talent, the kind of boy who could turn any girl's
world upside down. As Macy ventures out of her shell, she begins to
wonder, Is it really better to be safe than sorry?
For Fans Of: Just Listen, Along for
the Ride, What Happened to Goodbye, and Going too Far.
My Review: Bff got this book for me for
Christmas a year ago. Took me til this past Christmas to actually
read it. I usually don’t go for the contemp novels. I’m more the
fantasy type. Anyways this book was a nice little jem. I enjoyed
everything about this book. The characters were real and down to
earth, the plot was simple yet intriguing, and the message was
awesome!
It is a slower read. I think of it as
filler while waiting for that one book to come out or just a simple
great summer read.
