First Line: Annie waited for Paul on the ferry dock.

Summery: The relationship between 2 sisters and a neighbor boy from the beach side summer homes. Covers a period of a little over a year, with the 3 of them now adults in their early 20’s. Don’t want to tell too much more, for fear of letting something slip!

Why did I pick this book? : I remember it being very largely hyped when it was released, and I had really enjoyed The Sister’s of the Travelling Pants series.

Review: Although it is very different from The Sister’s of the Travelling Pants I still really enjoyed this book. It was a nice light, easy read. And despite the fact I predicted where the story was going; I still really enjoyed the ride. I found Alice (who I always want to call Annie?) really easy to relate to. Paul’s motivations were a bit harder to follow, but as long as you could hold on for the ride, it was fine. A nice beach read to take me out of the yucky snowy, cold weather.
