Wonderfully charming

This is a wonderfully charming book about two girls that are going to spend their summers with families they have never met before and doing activities that they hate. They meet each other on the plane and decide to switch places since they will be close to each other anyways. This is a delightful, although non-realistic, novel about the lives of these two girls and how they grow as people together and individually. The writing style is excellent and draws you in. The ending is a little abrupt, but otherwise it is wonderful and delightful book.
