Next summer is the sequel from the author of Summer Boys. It's definitly a must read for anyone who has read the first book. I found the sequel to be even better than the first one.

The Tuttle girls are getting ready for another summer at the family's beach cottage. Beth is excited about spending time with her cousins and depressed about leaving behind her boyfriend George. Ella and Kelsi have mixed feelings about the upcoming summer as well. Kelsi had a horrific breakup the previous year and wants to have a boy-free vacation so she can hang out with the girls and have fun. Ella, dubbed the party animal is tired of all the hook ups. She longs for a committed relationship with a nice guy.

Unfortunately, the summer turns out to be filled with more drama than any of the teens could have dreamt about: Beth is hanging out far too much with a George-look-alike lifeguard, Kelsi keeps running into frat boy Tim, who is totally not her type, and Ella has found the perfect boy, but can't seem to attract him–a first for her!

This group of teens are believable characters and their experiences will have readers laughing and crying along with them an along the way, you'll find that in reality, we share many similarities as to what the girls face. Things are set to heat up. It's definitly a must read!
