If you've read the coming of age book Mary Jane, then Irene could easily be her more laid back twin since they're both 14 in this book. Quick read with Irene being fired from working with her mom at her hair salon and having to take a babysitting job that eventually lands her meeting up with a lifeguard and her ex boyfriend that sculpts her summer vacation into something almost epic.

It's hard to give it a true rating because it's such a nostalgic book for me. It's a fast read, but different and fun. A slice of life kind of book that's actually, well, realistic.

i feel like this book was one of the influences to me going through that arrogant, self absorbed teenager phase where i hated everything

Meh. I probably would've liked this better had I been a teen girl, but I'm beyond that stage of books, so this wasn't that great for me. It was on my list from forever ago, hence I read it.

My Almost Epic Summer was a 170-page book of fun and drama it pulled me right out of my reading slump. though I'm now in my 20's I still related to our heroine Irene.Since I felt she was very mature for a 14-year-old in most cases. Irene had so much growth throughout the book I'd love to see her grow more throughout high school, in a future series. This book is a perfect light-hearted by the pool read. You must read it before summer ends!
