Cute book

Loved it. Great summer book!

Wow

I read this book in five hours. It was so good that I just could NOT find it in me to put it down and get some sleep. The characters pull you in and you feel a connection to them. There's drama and love and it's an all-around good book. If you like chick flick books, you'll love this. Don't let the number of pages discourage you. They fly by.

i love this book i was shopping with my older sister and i pointed it out. she said mom wouldnt like me reading "trashy" books. but like an older sister would she picked it up and read it for herself. two das later she handed it to me and said it was her favorite book ever and that she was sorry and that it wasnt trashy at all like an older sister would. it was great and very discriptive. ha to all the peopld who judge a book by its cover. the BEST book ever highly recomended.

I thought this book was truely amazing. I couldn't put it down. I read it in less then a week, so for me it was an easy read. I hope other people can enjoy this book as much as i did.

Better than i thought (=

This book is better than gossip girl, the a-list, and almost any other book i read. I am in love with these books. Is there ever going to be another book after? The orginal books were written in the 90's VV i found that out from reading sombody elses reveiw (= So heres what the book is about *3 boys *on summer *it has mystery, love, and tons of twist and turns that alot of other books lake *When summer started all Summer wanted was to find one guy to have a fling with. little did she know she would have a hard time choosing between guys. by the end of the series summer grows as a person and changes alot. and lastt.. i used to love gossip girl and the a-list but this book just geez it blew me away. i read an a-list book after i finish this book and it just didn't interest me anymore. mabye it was just that book in the series that i don't like idk but you should defently get this book (=

Back when teen series were good and simple

This is one of the original teen series it was written in the 90s before all of the Gossip Girl and other clone like series came out. The main character Summer (who the series is named after) goes to the Keys to stay with her snobby and also depressed and suicidal cousin Diana for the summer on the way she's whining about some guy back home in Minnesota who doesn't notice her and sits next to a tarot reader on the plane who tells her she's going to meet three guys and one of them is going to be the one for her while there she meets a girl named Maria Marquez who becomes her best friend and also in my opinion is the best character in the series. She's wild and crazy but also smart and has big dreams of going to an Ivy League school. The first guy she meets is Seth (they are THE original Seth and Summer) who is obviously the one but he has a jealous ex girl named Lianne who can't seem to get the fact that it's over so she takes up with a rich guy named Adam who used to date her cousin and finds out he's part of the reason Diana is so depressed. The other guy is Diver who practically lives on the beach and he's kind of mysterious and by the end of the series we find out why. This is three books in one. They came out a month apart notice the titles with the months in them, so unlike now with Gossip Girl you didn't have to wait six months to see what happens next. I read them when they original came out in the 90s. And I still have them! They are still a fun read that is actually appropriate for middle school girls (the people who really read young adult books) unlike so many of the books that come out now. Please give this book a try and when you read the 90s references keep in mind that was when it was written!
