Sixteenth Summer by Michelle Dalton
Hello readers! I thought I would throw in one last summer read for the season, even though we are far past Labor Day weekend which always marks the last hurrah of summer. . . Anna meets Will during one of her usual summers spent in her hometown of Dunne Island, Georgia. They instantly fall in love and begin a sweet romance. It was refreshing to read about teens who are not struggling emotionally, refuse to play games with one another, and simply enjoy eachother's company. At first I thought this book was a little too "sweet and wholesome" for my liking, but Anna and Will go through the realistic struggles of a true young teen couple and they make fun beach memories along the way with the help of their family and friends. Complete with ice cream dates, sandcastle contests, and bike rides with friends.... this book will surely take you back to your first summer romance or one that you would love to have in the future. The couple must decide on which path their future will unfold as Will plans to head back to New York with his family. Do they make plans for the future, or simply live in the present and enjoy a special summer together?
