Summary:
One summer will challenge everything the Garrett sisters thought they knew about themselves—and each other.
Kat lands the lead in the community theater’s summer play, but the drama spills offstage when her ex and his new girlfriend are cast too. Can she get revenge by staging a new romance of her own?
Bea and her boyfriend are heading off to college together in the fall, just like they planned when they started dating. But Bea isn’t sure she wants the same things as when she was thirteen…
Vi has a crush on the girl next door. It makes her happy and nervous, but Cece has a boyfriend…so it’s not like her feelings could ever be reciprocated, right?
As the oldest, Des shoulders a lot of responsibility for her family and their independent bookstore. Except it’s hard to dream big when she’s so busy taking care of everyone else
My Thoughts:
This is the first book that I have read by this author, an I have to say that I really enjoyed it.
We get to meet Kat, Bea, Des and Vi. They go to live with there Grandma after a tragic accident happens with there parents. They get to run a book store ( what an amazing job) since it’s the last summer they will be spending together. There are multiple POVs and some people may not like that. I really enjoyed getting to know the different aspects of the girls. Jessica does a wonderful job at executing the girls lives.
Vi is 15 an I’d say the most adorable girl ever!
Des is 19 she is the “mother” she takes care of the girls.
Bea is 18 and getting ready to go off to collage wit her boyfriend. She’s got a job at a local newspaper. She annoys at a few parts but who doesn’t have an annoying sibling. Other than that I loved her story.
Kat is 16 and very sassy. She’s not afraid to speak her mind and let you know what she’s thinking.
I loved how diverse this book was and how relevant it was. I loved how it reminded me of Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants/ Gilmore Girls.
** I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**
