Book Review of Twenty Boy Summer

Twenty Boy Summer

The story was really good. I enjoyed Anna and Frankie's story of their summer on Zanzibar Bay. It wasn't as light as a "beach book" normally is, nor was it too "teenager-ish" for me. I loved seeing the dynamics between Anna and Frankie, hearing about their adventures with the boys, the stories of long days on the beach, and the emotions Frankie, her family, and Anna have to process over Matt's death. And the stories of Anna and Frankie as they start to explore more intimate relationships with boys for the first(?) time.

If you are looking for a good summer read, I'd highly recommend this book.
