review 1: If you want an easy read that you don't really have to think about then this could be yours. It's a story of a young girl losing her first true love and her grieving over him to end up working with his hot older brother over the summer. It's a really short book that just touches the surfaces of the relationships. It had great potential, but didn't go deep enough for my liking. I think the thing that bugged me the most was that they never say how Adam died. It's hard to emotionally connect to the characters without knowing what they went through and in this book, the surface was barely scratched.
review 2: So death is something that we face all the time right, I mean it's part of life, but some don't realize how much of an impact it can have on the people surrou
... morending the person that's not related to them. Anna was Adam's girlfriend, a serious girlfriend and it hit her hard when he passed away. It's been a year and she's just now coming out of the need to feel locked away. Granted her mother had a big role in shoving her out there, it worked out.Camp is Adam's other brother who has also been MIA since his death. Back home for the summer and working at the same restaurant as Anna life is becoming bearable again.They have an attraction toward each other and are both trying to fight it until one night Camp gets drunk at a party. Anna's friend Hannah is against them getting together. Becky and old best friend that dropped off when Anna was mourning told her she thought it was a good idea.Finally they stop fighting it and give in.I was glad when they finally did because even though she was Adam's girlfriend, who better to take his place but his brother? Katie Aleo writes about things that mean something. So what if they got together? So what he's Adam's brother and she was his girlfriend? The point is they are there for each other and aren't forgetting him, their just moving on. I only wish it was longer. less
