Goodreads Synopsis:
A Long Hot
Summer...That's what Macy has to look forward to while her boyfriend, Jason, is
away at Brain Camp. Days will be spent at a boring job in the library, evenings
will be filled with vocabulary drills for the SATs, and spare time will be
passed with her mother, the two of them sharing a silent grief at the traumatic
loss of Macy's father.
But sometimes unexpected things
can happen—things such as the catering job at Wish, with its fun-loving,
chaotic crew. Or her sister's project of renovating the neglected beach house,
awakening long-buried memories. Things such as meeting Wes, a boy with a past,
a taste for Truth-telling, and an amazing artistic talent, the kind of boy who
could turn any girl's world upside down. As Macy ventures out of her shell, she
begins to wonder, Is it really better to be safe than sorry?
My review:
I just loved this book! It was sweet and
innocent with lots of metaphors and similes. I want to start off with this
excerpt: "Now, see," Wes said, nodding at
my plate, "this is going to blow your mind." I looked at him.
"It's a waffle, not the second coming." "Don't be so sure. You
haven't tasted it yet." I spread some butter on my waffle, then doused it
with syrup before cutting off a small bite. Wes watched as I put it in my
mouth. He hadn't even started his yet, as if first, he wanted to hear my
verdict. Which was, pretty good. Damn good, actually. "Knew it," he
said, as if he'd read my mind. "Maybe not the second coming, but a
religious experience of sorts."
Ahhhh... the relationship between
Wes and Macy is so innocent. They start off by meeting in the most awkward
situation ever. Macy is scared out of her wits by Wes's younger brother who was
trying to scare Wes. Macy is a seventeen year old who is dealing with life
after her fathers death. She meets Wes and the Wish catering company at one of
her mothers events. Macy immediately gets sucked into their world and quickly
becomes a part of the Wish catering company. Honestly there is no way to
explain how much of a great book this is because of the interactions between
the characters and the life lessons that the author incorporates. I was
completely in love with everything about this book! From start to finish I
couldn't put it down!
