A review by katdowney
Boys of Summer by Jessica Brody
3.0
Cover: 2.5
Characters: 3
Writing: 3.5
Plot: 3
Swoon: 2
Overall: 2.8
I loved the premise of this book and knew it was something I wanted to read as soon as I heard about it. I really liked Ian and Whitney so much. I also really like Mike’s new friend but there were times she was just too good to be true.
It took me a while to get into this book. I found myself shaking my head so many times while reading. The bromance wasn’t quite what I was hoping for. Majority of the book these best friends are all going to painful lengths to hide from one another. I couldn’t really get on board with the relationships, other than Ian’s. Grayson lying about his injured arm was so frustrating because everyone would know as soon as it came time for him to play ball at university. Also thought Grayson was a pretty sleezy friend.
So this book wasn’t really for me but if you’re a big fan of YA contemporary you might love it.
