Nantucket Blue
Nantucket Blue | Leila Howland
1 post | 3 read | 4 to read
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. Plus a sneak peek from Nantucket Red, on-sale May 2014!

Read both books in this series this weekend but not sure why I stuck with it, except I‘m a sucker for a New England setting. The author tried to shove so many storylines into it as possible and it just felt so unfocused and unrealistic.

This is one of those ya series where a teenager reads it and sees every miscommunication as a sign of true romance and an adult rolls their eyes because the teens are acting very dumb.
