Book Summary:
Two irresistible boys. One unforgettable summer.
Lori can’t wait for her summer at the lake. She loves wake boarding and hanging with her friends–including the two hotties next door. With the Vader brothers, she’s always been just one of the guys. Now that she’s turning sixteen, she wants to be seen as one of the girls, especially in the eyes of Sean, the older brother. But that’s not going to happen–not if the younger brother, Adam, can help it.
Lori plans to make Sean jealous by spending time with Adam. Adam has plans of his own for Lori. As the air heats up, so does this love triangle. Will Lori’s romantic summer melt into one hot mess?
Review:
I read Forget You by Jennifer Echols not long ago and absolutely loved it, so when I got a copy of Endless Summer at my house, I basically started reading it right away (which is very rare for any book nowadays).
The first half of Endless Summer is Jenn’s old book The Boys Next Door – I really flew through it. If you couldn’t tell from the cover, it’s a romance based plot, which I love in YA.
The second half of Endless Summer is Jenn’s sequel to The Boys Next Door, Endless Summer. We continue with the romance from the first book (I don’t want to describe too much if you haven’t read the first one yet!), and the plot became more complex than I was expecting when I first started it.
I really loved all of the characters and ended up wishing that Lori’s older brother was my older brother, though I do not envy the situations she got herself in. She started to irritate me a bit in the second book with her ‘solutions’ to her problems, but in the end she learned and everything settled in my mind.
I really, really love Jennifer Echols. Not only do I love the books that I have read of hers (which, by the way, I need to buy The Ex Games and Major Crush), she is possibly the nicest author I have e-mailed/Tweeted with (or at least tied for nicest). Which makes me want to read her books more… except I’m eventually going to run out… so I’m telling YOU to go read one. Forget You is romance/drama and Endless Summer is more straight romance, so take your pick. Endless Summer is also a zillion pages so it’s a super book to buy if you need something to read in your hammock over many summer days!

I'm eager to get my hands on a book by Jennifer Echols — I've read many rave reviews! And Endless Summer sounds great. Love that cover.
I've read all except Endless Summer. Read her romantic comedies, they are awesome too!
Sara and Erika – very highly recommend! I also love that it's got a million pages so it's lots of good book all together :)
April – DM her like I said :p
Meg – You really should. They are all paperback so not expensive, either!
Cindy – I am working on getting those romantic comedies, I can't wait to read them!
Great review! I just added that to my list of books to read this summer :)
I read and enjoyed this book too. I thought Adam was a fab hero, so immature but still so charming. Such a cute book and Jennifer Echols is fast becoming one of my favorites in the YA genre.
Great review.
Great Review. Definitely adding this title to my ever-growing pile of books To Be Read.
