Anna is dreading another tourist-filled summer on Dune Island that follows the same routine: beach, ice cream, friends, repeat. That is, until she locks eyes with Will, the gorgeous and sweet guy visiting from New York. Soon, her summer is filled with flirtatious fun as Anna falls head over heels in love. But with every perfect afternoon, sweet kiss, and walk on the beach, Anna can't ignore that the days are quickly growing shorter, and Will has to leave at the end of August. Anna's never felt anything like this before, but when forever isn't even a possibility, one summer doesn't feel worth the promise of her heart breaking...Mention Books To Sixteenth Summer (Sixteenth Summer #1)

- I wanted a bit of fluff to soften my life up a little and I got too much of it;- Too much optimism makes me want to puke;- Will felt extremely fake. He lacked personality. He acted like a damn girl;- BORING;- I was going to give it three stars but the ending bothered me to the point of having to take away one. I dont like to be left wondering what happens to them unless you do it in a very interesting way. It felt unfinished.Sixteenth Summer was such a sweet and cute book filled with the stuff that teenage dreams are made of. First kisses, holding hands, spinning on the beach. Young, scared, alive and all those those magical emotions and moments. This is a story about the joys and tears of first love and how it will always linger in your heart forever.I really enjoyed Anna's voice. She's such a worrying little thing, always second guessing what she says and does. She feels too much and it scares her to absolute
Are you surprised by the three-star rating? Are you that amazed that I actually enjoyed a summer romance book? Well, I kind of surprised myself. I am not a sappy-sap type. Saccharine romances annoy me to no end. And trust me, this book had some gag-me-with-a-spoon moments. And it was certainly frilly. Nothing too deep or controversial. No excessive cussing, no sex, just kissing and hurt feelings. It should have been quite boring actually, added on to the fact that there were no surprises in this
My Thoughts: I was very very excited to read this one! We are introduced to Anna who lives on Dune Island with her family. She spends most of her time with her best friends Sam and Caroline. They have recently became a couple. Anna isn't interested in any of the local boys. How can she be, when she has seen them during their most embarrassing moments as children? She is independent and pretty much brushes any guys advances off.Than comes along Will. Gorgeous and sweet Will. He isn't a local boy.
There's something about rhythm of summer that slows down time and makes every moment especially delicious. Summer's fleeting season means that its moments are also bittersweet, however, and no one knows this better than beach-town girl Anna Patrick. She's falling head over heels in love with Will...but knows that he'll soon have to go back to New York where he belongs.I'm not much of a contemporary YA romance person, but found myself thoroughly charmed by this book, which is the perfect
I loved this story. It is probably the most genuine and true-to-life summer first love stories. It was simple and fun. Anna, the protagonist, is discovering her own beauty through her first relationship. Dialogue is hilarious and made me laugh out loud. On top of the romance aspect, Anna has a family and those dynamics along with her old friends, Caroline and Sam who are discovering romance themselves. The setting is unique - Georgia beach. The quandary is broached - what if it's only for the
Summer . It doesn't always have to be about mermaids and unicorns.Sometimes, it just about a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him not to smash her sandcastle. And sometimes, that boy smashes it anyway.But not in this book - in this one, they frikkin build sandcastles. One of them: a replica of the Sydney Opera House. Damn right.In her small beach town, Anna meets and falls fast head over heels for Will, the boy from the city. She gets wrapped up in the magic of spending summer with her
