This book was a fun read. It is a great book to pick up while lounging on the beach or by the pool during the summer. The main character was really frustrating to me. If you don't want to be in a relationship with somebody, then don't be in that relationship. It's not a hard concept, but this girl just can't grasp that concept. Other than that, this was a fun, quick read. I absolutely loved the ending. It was so sweet and perfect.
Will it be a summer of fresh starts or second chances? For Lucy, the Jersey Shore isn’t just the perfect summer escape, it’s home. As a local girl, she knows not to get attached to the tourists. They breeze in during Memorial Day weekend, crowding her coastal town and stealing moonlit kisses, only to pack up their beach umbrellas and empty promises on Labor Day. Still, she can’t help but crush on charming Connor Malloy. His family spends every summer next door, and she longs for their friendship to turn into something deeper.
Then Superstorm Sandy sweeps up the coast, bringing Lucy and Connor together for a few intense hours. Except nothing is the same in the wake of the storm, and Lucy is left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart and her broken home. Time may heal all wounds, but with Memorial Day approaching and Connor returning, Lucy’s summer is sure to be filled with fireworks.
The Summer After You And Me is a very interesting new ya novel with a good and strong plot. It had a very serious undertone, due to superstorm Sandy and the main characters who all where struggling with the aftermath of it. The main character, Lucy, was a character you just can relate too as a reader. She was very realistic and could just be your friend or sister. Wat unfolds between her and Connor was very interesting to read about. Lucy's parents wheren't too fond of Lucy dating Connor though, which created some nice tension in the story. I also liked Lucy's interest in becoming a marine biologist and her passion for sea wildlife.
I highly recommend reading The Summer After You And Me because of it's amazing storyline!
