It was so flat.there was literally nothing happening, all they did was breathe. The characters were so lifeless and i didnt feel connected or satisfied with even one of them. But later the book was a disappointment.Ī book couldnt have been more bland. Events lead to Kate making friends with some of the people of her age in Cape Cod and she finds a guy called Adam and the obvious happens, they fall in 'LOVE' or so they call it.

The whole book is basically about a girl named Kate whose mother and father are not able work things out and it is effecting her as she and her dad are closer than she and her mom (her sister and her mom are closer, its all cliched)and so her mom wants to spend more time with Kate.This leads to her mom planning a trip to Cape Cod with Kate over the summer which Kate is not happy about because she wants to stay at home and spend little time with her mom as possible. I read this before my English exam.Īt first I have to admit that I was enjoying the laid back nature of the book and how the story line was flowing in that smooth manner which actually helps in stressful situations. I read this book as it was one of those kinda short books that you would probably read when you have a lot of work to do and you are taking a break from all the stress etc. But when a breezy summer romance quickly grows more complicated, can Kate keep pretending her relationship with Adam is just a carefree fling? Or will she take the risk and tell him her real feelings? Suddenly Kate is asking herself a question she thought she'd never stoop to: Is she girlfriend material? With Adam around, Kate feels like she just might have a bit of heart-breaker potential after all. That is, until Sarah's cute, witty friend Adam starts drawing Kate into the fold-and seems intrigued.

Any dreams Kate once had of a perfect summer are ruined. To add to the shame, the Cooper-Melnicks' gorgeous daughter is a bit like Lady Brett, and she seems less than thrilled to hang out with her new houseguest. If Kate were Lady Brett Ashley, the devastating heroine of Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, she'd spend her summers careering around the Riviera in her coup, breaking hearts by the dozen-because why not? In reality, Kate's never even had a boyfriend, and she'll be spending the summer abetting her mom's lame ploy to make her dad jealous: running off to Cape Cod and crashing at the seaside home of her wealthy friends, the Cooper-Melnicks.
