Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

4.0

This was such a cute beach book!

Anna is best friends with Frankie and Matt, Frankie’s older brother. Except, of course, she has a crush on Matt that is finally returned on her 15th birthday when they kiss and begin their relationship. They choose to hide this from Anna, but when Matt dies in a car accident, it seems like it’ll remain Anna and Matt’s secret for forever.

Meanwhile, Anna and Frankie join Frankie’s family on a summer trip to California where they decide to have a twenty boy summer. They both find boys, but everything falls apart when Frankie reads Anna’s diary and finds out what happens. She throws it into the ocean, they fight, and then makeup. Frankie gives Anna Matt’s special necklace. It was very precious. Very cute coming of age, mourning story.
