The premise: Summer Zwolenick is a 20-something year old who has come home to Dayton, Ohio to care for and spend time with her brother who is dying of AIDS. At the same time, she's trying to find a new focus for her life after an injury ended her promising ballet career. She's found the man of her dreams as well but unfortunately, she can't seem to prioritize anything while her only brother's life slips away. She only has a few months to learn the valuable lessons that he has to teach: how to love, live and let certain things go.
I liked this book...I really did but I only gave it 3.5 stars because there were times when Summer irritated me so much with her stupidity that I just didn't find that believable. I can't imagine anyone as moronic as her...especially when - really - she had it all. That was really the only issue I had with the book but she is the main character and how can you give better than 3.5 stars when you want to throttle someone nearly every other sentence?! It was fun too to read about Dayton and Cincinnati (Fountain Square, Mt. Adams and the Playhouse). Regardless of the low rating it's still worth the read...a fast summer/beach book.
