Twenty Boy Summer
by Sarah Ockler
The book was decent, and that's all. It didn't make me laugh, or cry, but it wasn't bad.
Anna goes on a trip with her best friend Frankie to Zanzibar, California. They create their own challenge, Twenty Boy Summer. In which they try to meet twenty boys before the end of the vacation. But Anna doesn't want to meet boys. She still isn't over the death of her first boyfriend, only a little over a year ago. But no one knows that she and Matt dated. And she can't tell anyone one because she made a promise. And Matt is Frankie's brother.
Anna is a blase character. Even though Matt died, and she is grieving. I felt like she didn't have a lot of structure. I wanted to like Frankie, but she made it hard with all her trashy friend moves. Frankie's parents were horrible. Their son died, but they still have a daughter, and they should get a clue.
Sam was a weak love interest. It was almost aggravating how understanding he was. He never got mad at Anna. And he didn't really have a reason to, but he was all most too perfect.
It was an easy read, but I did put off really reading it for awhile, before I hunkered down and read the whole thing.
When Frankie found out about Matt and Anna's relationship, and had her whole episode. I wanted to fight. I mean come on girl, he was your brother, but you weren't the only person who lost him.
3/5 stars, utterly average.
