Do you remember the summer that everything just felt perfect, at home, and like it was suppose to be? I do. We all do! When I read Sarah Dessen's That Summer, it took me to a place in time a few years ago.
A lesson I learned from this book is that sometimes, it is easier to roll with the tide than try to go against it. Haven, was going through some difficult changes in her life. Her dad was getting remarried and having a baby with a new woman. Her sister was getting married to a strangley quiet and dull guy, and Haven is around six feet tall and steal moving on up.
In Haven's life she felt like there was no way out. Not even a soul to talk to. I think that the reason I liked this book so much was because I knew how well it related to many people in the world. How many times do we feel like we are trapped under pressure, not good enough, or just plain depressed? Come on...ADMIT IT! We all feel that way at times.
I recommend that you not only read this book, but also some of Dessen's other novels. The characters will capture your heart. You will not be able to put these great reads down.
