Synopsis:
Mandy Sullivan isn’t exactly looking forward to the summer
months as tourists invade her seaside hometown on the coast of Maine. Her best
friend, Cynthia, has abandoned her for camp and her older brother just
announced he’ll be staying at college taking classes for the summer, leaving
Mandy with nothing to do and no one to hang out with. Hoping to keep herself
busy, Mandy takes a volunteer job at the Rocky Pointe Lighthouse. On her very
first day, Oliver Farmingham asks for a private tour. A new—and incredibly
cute—face in Rocky Pointe, Oliver seems more interested in Mandy than the
lighthouse and its history.
Without her best friend at her side, Mandy is scrambling to
act the right way and say the right things when Oliver is around. Cynthia—not
Mandy—has always been the confident, flirtatious girl that everyone wanted to
be around. As Mandy and Oliver spend more time together exploring the coast,
biking through the woods, and attending the local summer festivals, their
budding friendship becomes much more. But with Mandy’s insecurities creeping to
the surface, can she open her heart to someone who will only be in town for
three months?

Review:
Adorable
boy meets girl story of summer romance with a few oddball character and
problems to give them something to do while they fall in love. Small Maine town with interesting characters
is the setting and the town lighthouse is one of the main characters.
This
is a charming light read that is perfect for summer. Innocent enough for middle graders and quirky
enough for those older, this is the perfect book for a family vacation read.
I
give this book 4 out of 5 clouds.
