Colleen's parents are leaving her home with friends for 10 weeks while they go to Europe, and she plans to have the best summer ever, despite the House Rules Contract she signed. But her plans change right away, starting with one of her friends bailing on the two-month slumber party, and then her last-summer's fast-and-furious fling coming back into town. Even though Colleen is perfectly happy with her boyfriend, Ben, she can't stop thinking about Evan-- and not just the way he hurt her last fall. Her attempts to ignore her ex are thwarted as they are constantly thrown together at their common workplace. Colleen has to re-evaluate her choices, and the difference between safe and right, in addition to making sure her parents don't find out about her slight rule-bending. With three girls and two boys to help, it shouldn't be hard, but maybe "the more the merrier" doesn't always ring true. The love-triangle plotline gets a bit repetetive, but is intriguing nonetheless, and, coupled with the four girls' antics, will keep you reading.
