Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

5.0

---

i DEVOURED this book in 2 days and part of a night. It was so hard to put down. The descriptions of the shore were so rich, the sadness of the story, so real. The happiness, just as real as the sadness. This book really made you care about it's characters. And while the average reader would probably hate Frankie, I fell in love with her. I thought that she was so beautiful and so full of light, but so full of darkness as well. Anna kind of annoyed me, and I didn't exactly fall for her the way I did for Frankie. Frankie's "voo-doo magic" as Anna put it, was strong, even for the reader. I feel like I really connected with the characters. The love that Anna had for her friend's brother was painfully real. so real, in fact, that it moved me to tears as i read it on the beach. I love this book
