"Don't worry, Anna. I'll tell her, okay? Just let me think about the best way to do it.""Okay.""Promise me? Promise you won't say anything?""Don't worry." I laughed. "It's our secret, right?"According to her best friend Frankie, twenty days in Zanzibar Bay is the perfect opportunity to have a summer fling, and if they meet one boy every day, there's a pretty good chance Anna will find her first summer romance. Anna lightheartedly agrees to the game, but there's something she hasn't told Frankie---she's already had that kind of romance, and it was with Frankie's older brother, Matt, just before his tragic death one year ago.Beautifully written and emotionally honest, this is a debut novel that explores what it truly means to love someone and what it means to grieve, and ultimately, how to make the most of every single moment this world has to offer.

Another book about a grieving teen, and my advice is don't read too many of these in a row. It was great, and I like that sex isn't a solution, but the pursuit thereof isn't in itself a problem, either.Library copy

This was a wonderful, gorgeous book. However, there were one or two things that I didn't particularly like.Let me first start with what I liked.First up. Matt's and Anna's relationship. They were so wonderful, so perfect together, and I feel like they had a big future ahead of them. It is so sad thi...
After seeing all of the glowing recommendations about this book, I knew that I had to give it a read.
