For Cricket Thompson, a summer like
this one will change everything. A summer spent on Nantucket with her best
friend, Jules Clayton, and the indomitable Clayton family. A summer when she’ll
make the almost unattainable Jay Logan hers. A summer to surpass all
dreams.
Some of this turns out to be true. Some of it doesn’t.
When Jules and her family suffer a devastating tragedy that forces the
girls apart, Jules becomes a stranger whom Cricket wonders whether she ever
really knew. And instead of lying on the beach working on her caramel-colored
tan, Cricket is making beds and cleaning bathrooms to support herself in
paradise for the summer.
But it’s the things Cricket hadn’t counted
on--most of all, falling hard for someone who should be completely
off-limits--that turn her dreams into an exhilarating, bittersweet
reality.
A beautiful future is within her grasp, and Cricket must find
the grace to embrace it. If she does, her life could be the perfect shade of
Nantucket blue. (Summary Courtesy of Goodreads)
Hey guys! So it's been literally almost a year and a half since my last giveaway!!! My personal life has been more than a little bit hectic and it's been all I could manage to work 40 hour weeks, take a full courseload at the local college and keep this blog updated. But now I'm done with school, so I'm able to do more fun stuff for my followers again. Also, I'm getting a lot more ARCS passing through my hands and since I can't trade them at the used bookstore, I might as well pass along the wealth! :) I wanted to be generous, especially with my own birthday approaching this coming Tuesday, so there are three possible prize packs that you can win.
A link to my review of the book:
