Julia and Eliza are best friends, spending the summer together. Julia's mother is serving in the National Guard and is sent out to Iraq, and it is not sure when she will get back home.
Julia spends all of her time trying not to think about what could happen. So the girls lose themselves in their summer, hanging out at the resort where Eliza's father works. But when they meet a new boy, neither one of them is prepared for what it does to their friendship. And then Eliza goes missing..
The Summer Before Boys is a beautiful written novel by Nora Raleigh Baskin. I have never read abook by Nora before, but I am sure to check out her other books as I really enjoyed The Summer Before Boys. This book was just different and had a lot of depth and is about more serious issues.Therefore I recommend it to teens in the age 14-19. Just a book every teen reader should pick up!
I don't think I ever heard of this book before. The cover is just beautiful and it sounds really nice. Thanx for the review.
