Summer on the New Jersey shore offers Quinn a new start at life and love, but only if she can come to terms with her past
Graduation can't come soon enough. Desperate for a fresh start, Quinn is eager to escape to her aunt's house on the New Jersey shore for the summer, away from teenage drama and having to answer everyone's questions about "what comes next" after high school.Quinn can't bear to focus on the future. She doesn't even think she deserves one—not after her best friend died in a car accident that Quinn feels responsible for. While working in a bar she meets musician Malcolm Trent who, like her, is trying to get over a tragedy that they feel guilty for. After she joins his band as a drummer Quinn finds herself falling in love fast and must make a hard decision about where she goes next.
Overall I found this an okay read. The idea of the storyline was nice, and Quinn, her aunt and Malcolm are believable. But the storyline missed something. It was all a little entertaining, but nothing new that I haven't read in any other YA novel. It just lacked originality and some more excitement that makes you turning pages. It was nice though that she had such a good relation with her aunt, and that Quinn was able to find some forgiveness in the accident that killed her best friend.. If you're looking for a fast-paced book, this is not for you. If you are in for a slow romance, this might be one for you.
