constantki 's review for:

Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
3.0

This book is really good if you want a quick, unsubstantial read that's fun but not stupid. It definitely sucks you in but I don't really think I took anything from it. The characters were not well developed, and their relationships were forced and unrealistic. Thus, even though the book dealt with heavy topics I didn't feel that emotional connection. Also there was so much telling rather than showing-- I still don't know what kind of person Sam is, I just know that Anna likes him for whatever reason. That being said, it was a fun read for what it was.
