That Summer

"A pretty good book for teens in middle school. "

"Probably when Haven found out the truth about why her sister and her ex boyfriend broke up. "

"It's so relatable. The changes that happen in life, the discomfort from growing up, and relearning the things you thought you knew. To top it all off, it was about accepting the past to live in the present and look towards the future."

"Good, short audio book. Not my favorite Sarah Dessert story, but sweet coming of age, figuring a messy life out story. "

"4/5"

"Missing and Endangered by J. A. Jance"

"Definitely prefer physical books, but I'd be lying if I said that was how I do the majority of my reading. It's a LOT of e-books these days. They're just easier to pick up from the library, you know?"

"This was different from the other Dessen books I have read. And not in a bad way. In fact, I was so surprised on how different that I kept waiting for the romance. There wasn't one. This was purely a coming of age novel. And it was a great story.<br/><br/>Haven is dealing with a lot. Like growing to be really tall, dealing with her parents divorce, her dad's upcoming marriage and her sisters marriage and how things are changing so much. She can link it back to one specific summer. It was a neat storyline. I, myself, don't have a period where everything seemed to change for me, but it was interesting to read about it for someone who did.<br/><br/>Haven is a misunderstood character in the book. She has a hard time getting people to just understand her and what she is feeling. There seems to be only one person. Sumner. But things don't seem to be as great as she thought they were.<br/><br/>It was a good story. No romance, no relationship troubles, but instead a story telling about the struggles of just growing up. It is a great book worth reading, just don't read it if you are looking for a romance. You won't find even a hint of it in the pages of this one."

"Sorry! This is the only book I have read from this author so far "

"yes, i have. i liked her book “along for the ride” and this one was good to! "
