Rendition Toward Books Twenty Boy Summer
"Don’t worry, Anna. I’ll tell her, okay? Just let me think about the best way to do it.""Okay."
"Promise me? Promise you won’t say anything?"
"Don’t worry.” I laughed. “It’s our secret, right?"
According to Anna’s best friend, Frankie, twenty days in Zanzibar Bay is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy every day, there’s a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there’s something she hasn’t told Frankie–she’s already had her romance, and it was with Frankie’s older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago.
TWENTY BOY SUMMER explores what it truly means to love someone, what it means to grieve, and ultimately, how to make the most of every beautiful moment life has to offer.

Something beautiful.Dont know why I put off reading Twenty Boy Summer for so long, but Im very glad I was challenged to read this book sooner than later. I really.really.really enjoyed this story! It has all the ingredients of a well-written and perfectly plotted YA contemporary novel, and I fell for the
First off, let me just say that I LOVE the cover for this book! And I love that the book has all these references to sea glass, just like the awesomely beautiful cover. Genius! And the pages between the fantastic cover are just as awesome. This was undeniably one of my most favorite debut novels this year. Anna and Frankie were phenomenal characters. I totally understood Anna, I got her right away, but it took me the entire novel to finally get Frankie. Incredible. Ockler's depiction of Anna's
One of the great things about Goodreads is that I get to capture books along the way, of which I normally would not. This little cutie, a YA that I added on what I honestly think was almost on day one of GR, I actually came across just last week at my library. It was withdrawn, and only published in 2009... I thought this a shame, but gleefully snapped it up for 20c.This was a nice reminisce, I know there are no rules for who should read what, but I did feel funny looking back on those feelings
Ugh. I did not care for this book. I pulled it off the return cart (it certainly circulates often!) and thought it looked like a fun beach read. Ummm, not so much. Right off the bat, in the first chapter, we learn that there is a tragic accident where someone very close to the narrator dies. (I promise, this is not a spoiler - it's on the back cover!) I was pretty sure at this moment that my hopes of reading a light-hearted beach read were quickly disappearing. What I was left with instead, was
Pretty much the most adorable book I've read in October, so far. The month is young though..Twenty Boy Summer first made me think that someone was going to be a little adventurous in the boy department. Straight up thought she was going to commit and date 20 guys in one summer. 20 guys within a 3 month span.. could probably be doable.. but my eyes were like bugging out of my head. Thankfully, this book was nothing like that.In this book, you will meet Anna and Frankie. Honestly, Anna was way
3.5 stars! Twenty Boy Summer is certainly not what I expected and I dont mean that in a negative way. In my opinion, this novel has a particularly originality to it that I couldnt quite express eloquently but perhaps youll understand when you read the book. I picked this book up hoping to enjoy some warmth and fluff from a Summery read and although the story is in many parts heartwarming, there is nothing fluffy about it. In fact, it was mostly a sad read and I have to admit that I had to
