First Line" Hey Julian!"
The main character Chloe goes to Connecticut for a weekend to check out a college and she meets a guy Julian. They get to know each other in many "ways". When Chloe leaves she starts emailing Julian and thinks that maybe she should break-up with her boyfriend Eli who is also her best friend. Chloe launches herself into a world of e-mails and IM-ing. She can't wait until Julian comes to Boston and while shes waiting the whole summer for it to happen her sister comes out of the closet, she goes to volunteer at the camp which is her second home and meets ANOTHER guy that she thinks is a jerk but then starts to really like in the end. Her whole summer is full of drama, big crushes and learning to accept the new.
Overall this book was very drawn out and sometimes you got bored with the long messages and you just skip over those parts. There were some very good parts to it but at the end you just think "Well that wasn't worth the time" This wasn't the worst but not the best
3/5 Stars
