As the air heats up, so does this love triangle. Will Lori’s romantic summer melt into one hot mess?
Review: Endless Summer contains 2 books: The boys next door and Endless summer. This book was intended for a much younger audience than expected and it took me awhile to realise that. I hated this book so much at first because the characters were really silly and did things without thinking it through. Then i realized that they were young teens that didn't know better. (I mean who goes around kissing any male in sight???) The book ended really well and left fuzzy feelings. I really wanted to like this book because of the gorgeous cover!
Endless Summer was a cute read but Lori really annoyed me with her stupidity and Adam's insecurities were a little too extreme. It was just hard for me to empathize and connect with the characters. They were illogical and impractical, I blame all these on me being a Virgo. But i just kept reading because I really enjoyed the first book (it was so funny!), The Boys Next Door and also because it was a really easy and light read. Endless Summer to me didn't match up to the first book but as i mentioned, the ending was really really sweet and cute!
To summarize this book: cheesy, cute, stupid, funny, sweet
My rating:
Recommended for young teens and anyone who can put up with teens doing stupid things or anyone looking for a light read with cute boys in it.
