Explanation Concering Books Cruel Summer
"This was supposed to be my best summer yet, the one I've been working toward since practically forever. Now I'm being banished from everything I know and love, and it just doesn't make any sense."Having recently discarded her dorky image--and the best friend that went with it--Colby Cavendish is looking forward to a long hot season of parties, beach BBQ's, and hopefully, more hook-ups with Levi Bonham, the hottest guy in school. But her world comes crashing down when her parents send her away to spend the summer in Greece with her crazy aunt Tally.
Stranded on a boring island with no malls, no cell phone reception, and an aunt who talks to her plants, Colby worries that her new friends have forgotten all about her. But when she meets Yannis, a cute Greek local, everything changes. She experiences something deeper and more intense than a summer fling, and it forces her to see herself, and the life she left behind, in a whole new way, in Alyson Noël 's Cruel Summer.

The best part of this book was the cover. ;) It was a typical teen romance. Cute but nothing special.Young adult book focusing on love, coming of age and grief. Easy to read, quick, a little predictable as is the case in a lot of young adult fiction.
in this book it talks about divorce, and I enjoyed it because my parents are going through a divorce and well I could relate some of my emotions with the girl. the girl in this book, i will describe, as a third wheel. she does not know who she really is until she goes off with her crazy aunt. throughout the book she made some small mistakes that she wishes to take back and such. But I mean, everyone learns from a mistake, right?It was a good story line.I really enjoyed it. thank you Alyson Noel
The book was pretty boring for the beginning and the main character "Colby" was bratty and spoiled. But it got better toward the middle because of the drama and pop ups. But if you like romance and parent drama this is the book for you.
Ok first of all lets just get this out there...I'm 38, what am I doing reading a book that my 16 year old if not my 11 year old should be reading?!?!?!!!! Ok that's out there and now that aside....ok wait I can't put that aside because I think that is my main problem with this book.Ok so Colby's parents are getting a divorce. To save her from all the drama and ugliness they send her to stay with her not well known aunt. She's eccentric...but really who cares SHE LIVES IN GREECE. Wait wait that's
This brilliant book by Alyson Noel was truly eye-opening. She describes the disrupted summer of a popularity obsessed teenager, Colby Cavendish. When Colby's parents file for a divorce, they think it is best if she stays with her aunt Tally until it is finalized. The only problem is that Tally lives in Tinos, Greece. Colby is not looking forward to living in Greece for the summer because she recently became friends with the most popular girl at school, Amanda Harman. She is worried Amanda will
When I first started reading Cruel Summer, I almost put it down. It wasn't horrible, but it was definitely not for me. Colby seemed annoying and spoiled, but around the middle of the novel, she got likable enough that I could continue reading. Thats not very good. I grabbed this book because it takes place in Greece, which is one of my favorite places in the world, but was disappointed when all Colby did was complain about it. I decided to give Alyson Noel another chance after reading Saving
