Beautifully written young adult romance submitted by kenllama on May 29, 2008, 1:27pm This is a story about two girls who fall in love, but this is certainly not only a story for gay and lesbian readers. The story has more to do with the confusing joy and awkward communication of new love than the gender of the participants. The story is well-paced and emotionally involving. The dialogue captures the feel of modern teen speech without becoming bogged down in trendy slang.

The plot is much like that of many teen summer romance novels, but the reader is spared from the hokey writing that plagues many young adult romances. The genuine emotion and beautiful telling set this book apart.

Interesting note: the author was born and raised in Ann Arbor.
