My Thoughts: I really loved all the characters in this book. Even the ones we weren't "supposed" to like. I liked the whole concept of the book. It was summertime, there was water, it was a great book. I liked the girls in the book, I loved the guys in the book! It was one of the few that I've read this year that I really loved. Lately books have just been mediocre to me, but this one was really good and interesting. I wanted to keep reading it because I actually wanted too, not because I "needed" too. This book is full of parties, fights, flirtations, betrayals and jealousies! It is definitely worth a read!!!

Overall: Great Book!! Go To The Library Or Buy It! Add it to your To Be Read List!

When tragedy strikes Cooley Mountain Whitewater a year earlier, Alex's life is turned upside down. Now, her father is gone, her mother is taking some time out and Sean is back. That's the same Sean that Alex has grew up and worked with in years past. When Alex's father died, it changed a lot of things, including Alex's and Sean's relationship. They haven't talked since. There's also some new guys working for Alex at Cooley Mountain, that seem to keep things interesting.


With all of the fun that starts to happen, there's also some downsides, that include, some of Sean's friends come to visit (a few of which are girls) and a barn party that goes terribly wrong. With all of this happening, will Alex ever begin to feel normal again?


I loved Heartbreak River. It was a book that was hard to put down. Tricia Mills' writing pulled me into the story with the first chapter. Although, it is a sad book, it still has it's high points. It's also not your average romance novel, because there's more added in and it also makes you thing. This is a great debut novel and it has me looking forward to more from Ms. Mills. I would definitely recommend this one!
