That Summer, by Sarah Dessen (YA Fiction)
This past week I just finished reading That Summer by Sarah Dessen. This book was great. I really liked the book because the author made it easy for anyone who is reading it to relate to at least one thing in the book. I also really liked this book because it was written in Haven's (the main character) point of view. It made the book fun to read because she would always be adding funny comments. This book was never boring. It was very real, and the author made it seem like all of this could be happening to anyone you know.

Haven was your typical high school teenager waiting for something exciting to happen in her life. She worked at a shoe store in the mall, and couldn't hate her job more. On top of that, her dad gets re-married; later she finds out his new wife is pregnant, about a week after their wedding! Also, her sister is getting married and she's driving Haven crazy! The most exciting part of the book is when Haven's older sister's (Ashley) old boyfriend gets re-entered in Haven's life. Haven is in love.

I loved this book and would recommend it to any girl!
