Two sets of siblings - one set of brothers and one set of sisters are the four main characters of this novel. These siblings meet each summer at their grandparents houses and spend the summer making memories to then "break-up" each time fall comes around and they go back to their respective homes for school and such. Formatted to be told from all different perspectives, it was easy to switch between each character's story.
Each character is going through growing pains, so they each have a story that is unique but interconnected with each other. It is a time of learning the dynamics of relationships between boys and girls while maneuvering through the landmines of young love.
The use of first person and second person narrative were interesting and I loved how the author used this subtle literary technique to convey a huge amount of emotion. At first I was annoyed, but it slowly grew on me and helped to develop the story. I wouldn't categorize this as a YA read, although the main characters are of that age.
Beware of the countless number of sex scenes.
