Book Summary:
Anna is dreading another tourist-filled summer on Dune Island that follows the same routine: beach, ice cream, friends, repeat. That is, until she locks eyes with Will, the gorgeous and sweet guy visiting from New York. Soon, her summer is filled with flirtatious fun as Anna falls head over heels in love.

But with every perfect afternoon, sweet kiss, and walk on the beach, Anna can’t ignore that the days are quickly growing shorter, and Will has to leave at the end of August. Anna’s never felt anything like this before, but when forever isn’t even a possibility, one summer doesn’t feel worth the promise of her heart breaking….


Review:
Give me a book with summer in the title and I’ll read it. This is the fourth summer but I’ve read this month (and I love them all) :)

Sixteenth Summer is a romance story (if you couldn’t tell by the cover and synopsis). I actually, upon finishing, was thinking that Sixteenth Summer would have been a good Simon Pulse Romantic Comedy book – it’s got that kind of feel.

I did enjoy myself as I was reading, as Will and Anna learned about each other and their relationship. There wasn’t much side conflict – it’s not a deep, heavy book by any means. Anna and Will were easy to like, though I do think Anna was a little wise for her age at times.

Sixteenth Summer is a great vacation book for those of you that enjoy romance and relationships. It’s an easy read and it’s fun to get caught up in a summer romance story.
