Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
5.0
I bought Twenty Boy Summer on a whim. I came across it on Amazon and had to have it. Usually I endlessly research books before I buy them. I read tons of reviews and check ratings before I spend my hard earned money on a book. This whim paid off!
This book was laugh out loud funny at times and heartbreakingly sad at others. It's about friendship, love lost, and letting go. I think that Ockler did an incredible job of making a story about grief and secrets shine with humor and wit! Anna was definitely someone I wanted to read about. She was mourning the loss of her kind of sort of boyfriend, while being strong for her best friend. She was mature and interesting. She felt very real and I love reading about how she handled some situations. It was so completely different than how I would have handled them that it made it that much more of a fantastic read.
Ockler's writing was spectacular! I felt that I was right there in Zanzibar Bay with Anna and Frankie! The whole story unfolds in a way that it's impossible to put it down. I was engrossed from the very first page. Needless to say I loved it and I will be reading anything Sarah Ockler writes in the future!
