YA romance. It reminded me of the Traveling Pants books. Three very different girls find themselves thrown together and become friends.

This was very similar (in style and content) to The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and extremely enjoyable. Many reviewers thought the characters were one dimensional, but I thought they were at least more rounded than the average YA novel, even if they were not quite as great as Ann Brashares' teenagers. Overall though, the plot, setting, characters, and writing style were fun, and I am excited to read the sequels.

Très mignon & très printanier ! Et maintenant, j'ai envie de manger des pêches, de passer mon été à gambader, à m'amuser avec mon chéri & mes amies, et d'aller me baigner ! :)

J'ai relativement apprécié ma lecture, mais principalement grâce au cadre, à l'endroit.
Moi qui en plus adore les pêches..
Les trois personnages principaux sont des clichés ambulants, mais j'ai réussi à en faire abstraction et profiter de ma lecture quand même !
Un roman à lire l'été, sans prise de tête, et en mangeant une pêche (tant qu'à faire).

This is a really good book about 3 girls with problems. Birdie's mom just up and left, leeda is the 2nd favorite kid in a rich family, and , well, lets just say that Murphy's got issues. I loved the ending, but the author didn't exactly end the book. I hope there's a second book...

When I went into this book I was looking for a fresh, light, summer read. That was just what I got! I liked this book a lot, but wasn't wowed by it.

I liked the characters more as I got into the book. Birdie was my favorite out of the three girls. She was also the most real and raw which was one of the reasons why I liked her so much. Leeda is what you think is the classic rich girl, but once you read into the book more you realize that that isn't all of who she is. I liked how she opened up to the two other girls throughout the story. Then there's Murphy. She's the one that acts like she's tough and everything is fine no matter what. The way that the three, very different, girls changed and formed friendships throughout the book was sweet, just like peaches! :)

Overall, this was a quick summer read! I loved reading about the friendships that were formed. I know that there are two other books in this series, but I'm not sure if I'll read them or not. I liked the way the author left the characters. I'm not one who likes to ruin a happy ending for them!

Cute, but it took awhile to get there. The author switches points of view many times in a chapter which was incredibly confusing, but I enjoyed the character development. I don't know if I'll finish the series.
