Find out what happens when you fall for your best friend's worst enemy in this hilarious tale of a forbidden first love and forever friendship. The author of Maine Squeeze and Love and Other Things I'm Bad At, Catherine Clark, has once again crafted a romantic coming-of-age story that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Lucy can't wait to spend the summer at the lake with her best friend, Mikayla. But when Jackson, the boy she's been avoiding ever since he rejected her, reappears in her life, Lucy wonders if this summer to remember is one she'd rather forget.

Mikayla's never had much luck talking to boys, but when she (literally) runs into the cutest guy she's ever seen, and sparks fly, she thinks things might be looking up . . . until she realizes the adorable stranger is the same boy who broke her best friend's heart.

As things begin to heat up between Mikayla and the one guy she should avoid, will Lucy be able to keep her cool or will the girls' perfect summer turn into one hot mess?

      Gr 9 Up-Best friends Lucy and Mikayla have planned for one unforgettable summer. The girls are thrilled to be living on their own for the first time, getting a small taste of the independence they will have next year when they leave for college. But before they even get to senior year, the girls have a lot to do, starting with making their cabin (on loan from Lucy's grandparents) habitable, settling into their summer jobs, and, of course, meeting boys. Although she's usually tongue-tied around the opposite sex, Mikayla meets an adorable guy whom she can talk to without becoming incoherent. They keep running into each other, and before she even knows his name, the teen is smitten. Meanwhile, Lucy is struggling to keep her cool when she finds out that her coworker for the summer is her former best friend Jackson, whom she still hasn't forgiven after an embarrassing incident in eighth grade. When Mikayla finally learns that her mysterious crush is the same guy who left Lucy brokenhearted all those years ago, she is torn between protecting her best friend and following her heart. Despite the complicated situation, Clark keeps the tone light, and after the requisite misunderstandings and overreactions, her characters make good decisions and act responsibly. Some readers may want something more realistic, but Clark's novel is wholesome in its celebration of friendship, honesty, and the thrill of first love. Recommend this book to teens looking for a fun and easy beach read this summer.-Joy Piedmont, LREI, New York City
