Product Description

Synopsis

For 15-year-old Haven, it's a summer framed by two weddings: her father's to Lorna Queen and her sister's to dull-as-ditchwater Lewis Warsher. With her whole world shifting around her, Haven cannot help but look back to the blissful days of another summer when her family seemed whole and happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book I have ever read., 15 April 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: That Summer (Paperback)
This is my favourite book. I have read it every three months since I bought it two years ago, not out of habit, but because I still love it, and it gets better every time. Though I have not gone through all of the things that happen to Haven, she seems so like me and perhaps that's why I like it. The feelings and thoughts of Haven are so realistic and any teenager, or any adult who was ever a teenager, will totally identify. The things that Haven experiences (for example her parents splitting up and re-marrying) are just a carrier to show that Haven grows up mentally from a kid to an adult, and realises that nothing is perfect, lasts forever, or what seems good for you was not a perfect for everyone else.

3.0 out of 5 stars No romance, 12 Nov 2008
By ML Jensen (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: That Summer (Paperback)
I love The Truth About Forever and Just Listen and expected another romance, cleverly written and beautifully told. Although this story was a nice and quite moving tale of two sisters and their changing relationship, it lacked the depth, and the plot of Dessen's other books. And there was no romance at all. :-(

5.0 out of 5 stars u have to love it, 8 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: That Summer (Paperback)
this book is so beautiful. it really is amazing. the last line of the book sums it all up, i can't say what it is cos that would ruin it. i just lent my copy to my mate, and the reason i wanted her to read it is the last line. if u buy they book don't open it at the last page, it won't make sense, read it, savour it, love it, and understand it. u will, anyone could. the characters are described perfectly especially haven and sumner. when u read it u r them, u understand them, u love them. it's worth reading, it really is. it starts with a poem called at every wedding someone stays at home, which is perfect. i've never read a book like, and i never will again. it is so amazing. read it and see what i mean
