Overview: Drew has always been a bit of a loner with her pet rat hum. She spends her summers working in her moms cheese shop with the ever so dreamy and unobtainable Nick. Everything is about to change this summer with the appearance of a strange new boy in town. This is a short heartwarming tale that I think appeals to younger and older readers. A good fast read.
Review: Let me say that for the first 100 pages this book didn't seem to be aYA book at all. The main character is a middle schooler and it definitely shows. However the second half of the book dealt with more mature themes and was much deeper than the first half. So stick with it I promise you won't regret it.
I really liked the book, perhaps not quite a favorite but not far off. I thought the main character was very relatable especially in her emerging struggle with her mother as Drew enters the teen years. Emmet Crane was such a cool character and I loved when his backstory was revealed. His love for David was so pure and sad and gave a whole new layer to the story. Overall it was very well written and more relatable then most of the books in the YA genre. Definitely a book I will reread
