Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Kristen

Anna is friends with Frankie and in love/friends with her older brother
Matt. After her birthday party, Matt kisses her and everything changes,
but they decide not to tell Frankie. Just as Matt is about to leave for
a family vacation where he plans to tell Frankie about them, he dies in
a car accident. Anna and Frankie survive and manage to cope. A year
later, they're going back to the same vacation spot, Anna in Matt's
place.

Frankie is changed though, obsessed with boys and
experienced. She plots for them to find 20 potential boys for Anna to
lose her Albatross (aka virginity) to. Anna does find a really
potential boy in a native Californian named Sam, but will she be
betraying Matt by doing anything with him?

I must say this book really surprised me. This really isn't my typical type of read, but I really fell in love with the story.

When
reading this book, I was totally immersed in Anna's character. She had
never told Frankie the secret Matt and her kept and she struggles with
it every day. I felt for both characters and well, I was completely
moved by this book. I didn't cry, but I was close. I suggest anyone
looking for a great summer read to read this book!
