Three cousins, gorgeous Ella, athletic Beth and artistic Jamie, all vacation at the beach in Maine every summer with their families. This summer they all have romance on their minds.  Ella can’t stop thinking about Peter, her older sister’s new boyfriend.  Beth is starting to realize her feelings for her best friend, George, now that he is dating beautiful Cara.  Jamie has been looking forward to rekindling the relationship she started last summer with Ethan; however after emailing and talking on the phone all year, he just doesn’t seem as interested this summer.  The chapters alternate between the three girls’ stories.  So will it be a summer of boys for Ella, Beth and Jamie?  (Davinna Artibey, Denver Center for International Studies, Denver Public Schools, CO)
