Recommendation: I think this book is mainly for girls but I also think girls and boys would enjoy this book. The reason I would mainly recommend this to girls is because its a love story and girls appreciate love stories more then boys do I think. I would recommend this to anyone that has ever been in a summer romance because there are so many story about how the romance just ends and in this one there is a future between them. I would also recommend this to any boy that wants to know how to treat a girls!

Explanation of Rating: I rated this a five because it was very well written. I loved this book because is it the exact thing that ever teenage girl wants to happen in her summer..Besides the fact that her father dies. I liked it because even though there were hard things that happened to her she was still able to find peace and happiness in the end. This shows that even though bad things happen in our lives there can always be a happy ending. I also loved it because it was so realistic. This could really happen in real life.
Favorite Passage: My favorite passage is long. But it is at the very end were he surprises her in New York and says he wants to be with her. I love it because it is around the last five pages and its right when you don't think that anything is going to happen and then he comes out of now where. This is a true love story.
