How My Summer Went Up in Flames by Jennifer Salvato Doktorski

Mar 08, 2013 Allie rated it 4 of 5 stars

Reading How My Summer Went Up in Flames was so much fun. I am pretty sure the author was giggling as she came up with some of the parts that made me laugh out loud. Highly recommend. More in a few days... 4.5 stars.

Full Review:

This so does not read like a first novel. I predict that Jennifer Salvato Doktorski has a long and successful career ahead of her, much like Lauren Barnholdt or Jennifer Echols. The writing is literally laugh-out-loud hilarious, and I am much more a smiler than a laugher w...more

I really enjoyed How My Summer Went Up in Flames. Let’s face it—we all make some mistakes when we are teens. How many of us have not done something we felt foolish over or wish we hadn’t done? Ms. Doktroski’s book introduces us to Rosie just after her school year ended. She is devastated that her boyfriend cheater on her and goes a bit crazy. I mean, how many of us destroyed things that our ex-boyfriend gave us…maybe just not to the extent Rosie did though.

Rosie is a great character that I think many teens can relate to in some way shape or form. She is self conscious about her curvy figure, her not feeling as smart as her companions on the road trip but she has a great heart and is protective of those she considers friends. There are moments in the book that Rosie made me laugh and of course smile through her antics.

Throughout the car trip as miles go by, Rosie begins to see through her actions that lead to her TRO (temporary restraining order) and she begins to grow. She does not have everything figured out when she gets home, nor should she but she is on a better path than she was heading down prior to the trip.

The rest of the cast of characters are intriguing in their own various ways. Logan is using the car trip to get Spencer away from their father and a real vacation for the first time in years. He is intensely smart and is gorgeous too boot. Matty is Rosie’s neighbor who is more like a brother and a boyfriend. Matty is such a great friend and we would all be better people if we had him for a friend. Spencer is one of the good guys—those that girls typically overlook. He is passionate about his music and is brainy, a planner and an organizer. Lastly, there is Avery—Logan’s friend that instantly bonds and connects with Rosie after stopping at her house along the way. It is through Avery’s interactions that we see Rosie begin to think beyond the past and now and to begin to think of her future.

What I truly appreciated about this book is the characters feel completely believable to me. The story is engaging with laugh out loud moments but some seriousness filtered in throughout it. Ms. Doktorski’s writing is fresh and attention grabbing—ll important things in writing young adult novels. I am hoping to see her stick around for a long, long time and she could easily become a household name in young adult contemporary fiction.

Rosie is in a bit of a dilemma from the start. She’s found herself in trouble with the law, her ex, his family, and has been served a temporary restraining order after causing his car to set on fire. Well, isn’t that a rough patch?

To keep from any more harm, she then goes off on a road trip with her childhood best friend and his two buddies. The more distance between her and her ex, the better is what her and her family thinks. As I progressed into this story, I really enjoyed the witty humor a...more

You know those books that make you smile throughout? The ones that aren't especially deep, but loads of fun and laugh out loud funny? The ones you read when you're looking for an escape, when you don't want to think too hard, when you just want to read to enjoy? How My Summer Went Up in Flames is that sort of book.

I am actually a newbie when it comes to books about road trips, and I'm glad this was my first experience, because it really was a cute, fun, fluffy way to spend an afternoon. The book is engaging and engrossing in equal measures, and I was actually surprised that, once we got past a hilariously funny (without always meaning to be) main character in Rosie that there's actually a lot of depth to her story, and the way her ex-boyfriend's actions turned her into someone she didn't like at all. I thought it was pretty thought-provoking in the end, without hitting you over the head. I also liked the cast of characters accompanying Rosie on her trip, from boy-next-door Matty, to geeky and surprisingly sensitive Spencer, to moody and impatient Logan. Each of the boys served their own role in getting Rosie to realize that breaking up with Joey wasn't the be all, end all and that she actually could do something to turn her life around.

I do want to say that I had a fairly big problem, however, with the fact that Rosie used words like "skank" and "slut" and other completely inappropriate names to refer to Joey's new girlfriend. Considering that he is the one who cheated on her, not the new girlfriend, Rosie's anger was completely misdirected. And regardless of how angry you are, throwing a word around like "slut" to describe the girl your boyfriend cheated with is just distasteful. Let's put the blame on the right person, and quit with the name-calling.

Nonetheless, I came away from How My Summer Went Up in Flames with a new appreciation for road trip books. Rosie's personal journey was infinitely readable, and I found it impossible to not root for her to make the necessary changes and figure herself out. If you're looking for a fun and quick contemporary read that's perfect for summer, do pick this one up!

How My Summer Went Up in Flames was a bundle of joy. I had SO much fun reading this book, laughing with the characters, yelling at the main protagonist (more about that later), witnessing all the sight seeing they got to see, and basically solidifying my love for road trip books. Why aren't authors writing more road trip books? Don't they know the book would become an instant success among contemporary lovers? Like many readers, I have yet to read a road trip novel that I didn't enjoy. Of course How My Summer Went Up in Flames might have won itself merit points at the beginning for being a road trip novel, but the characters and the plot (at least second half of it) are what made me love this book and devour it in a single day.

Rosie, a couple of weeks after breaking up with her cheating ex-boyfriend, finds herself the culprit of a burnt car belonging to said ex-boyfriend and the holder of a temporary Restraining Order (TRO) her ex-boyfriend took against her. Her parents decide for her to go on the road trip her neighbor, Matty, who she has known all her life and is a year younger, and his friend Spencer and Spencer's older brother Logan were taking to Logan's university, cross country. At the beginning, I was SO annoyed with Rosie and her desperation. It really left a sour taste in my mouth. She broke her TRO several times and couldn't stop thinking about that douche. Where is your self respect girl?! I was so happy when she finally went on the road trip and the whole obsession over her ex-boyfriend started to diminish.

The dialogue in this novel was stolen by Matty and Spencer, mostly Spencer and all his adorableness. That guy is a nerd to the max but oh so sweet, caring, and funny. As for Logan, he is the hot guy who is also a nerd; basically every girl's dream guy, looks AND brains? who can say no? However his moodiness and sneering and dislike for Rosie crashing his road trip was obvious. Yup, you guessed it. He is the love interest. I loved Logan, when he learned to loosen up he was as cute as Spencer; These two brothers charmed me to the extreme! Doktorski's writing flowed easily, with a ton of dialogue and a ton of playfulness you expect from road trip books. This is a book to pick up when you want a smile on your face and a ton of free time for the day because once I started this book, I could barely put it down. I honestly would recommend all contemporary and road trip fans to read it because this road trip book is full of all the ingredients that make us readers love contemporary novels! (less)

So furious, in fact that she takes all the things he has given her and burns them in his driveway. What she didn't count on was Joey's car catching on fire. She goes into stalker mode to try to talk to him and make things right. Of course, she doesn't see herself in this way, so she is shocked when the police present her with a temporary restraining order, and even more shocked when she finds out she has to go to court in a few weeks. Matty, her neighbor who has been more like a part of the family all his life, comes up with the perfect solution. He is going on a road trip to Arizona (they are currently in New Jersey) with his friend Spencer and Spencer's brother Logan, who is going to college there. His suggestion is that Rosie come along with them to keep her out of trouble until her court date. Rosie is totally opposed to his and her parents are completely for it. Thus, the road trip commences and Rosie soon finds out she is in for the summer of her life.

Logan is a total hottie, but he also is a jerk and sort of mean, at least in the beginning. Despite all this, Rosie still finds herself attracted to him, and his jerkdom may just be a cover for his own attraction to Rosie. Spencer is 16 years old, as is Matty, and both are kind of nerds, but also wind up being so much fun. Rosie really finds a good friend in Spencer and winds up in some precarious situations on his behalf. Matty is like her best friend, brother, and maybe more, or maybe not, which is something that is also considered on this road trip. They also meet Avery in Texas, who is a "friend" of Logan's and she quickly becomes a best-friend to Rosie.

I really enjoyed watching Rosie's character grow and change on the course of the road trip. When she arrives back home, she is not the same Rosie that left two weeks prior. I loved all the guys to, even Logan when I got to know him. They were all really great and the bond they all formed on the road trip was one that they will remember for life. There are also some really hilarious things that take place. After her court date regarding her TRO with Joey the Jerk, Rosie, by her own choice, is ready to make retribution and ends up doing some things she would have never considered prior to the trip, and one of the guys winds up winning her heart, but which one will it be? You'll have to read the book to find out. I love road trip books and How My Summer Went Up in Flames was fun, entertaining, and a really great read that I totally enjoyed. (less)

First things first - Rosie set her ex-boyfriend's car on fire by accident, okay? But of course no one believes her, not especially when she frequently sends him text messages and stops by her ex's job to watch him. She just wants to know why he broke up with her. But when she's slapped with what could be a permanent restraining order, her best friend Matty decides to invite her along to a roadtrip with some of his other friends. Her parents agree that a change of scenery would be good for her. Plus, Rosie won't be able to see (Read: stalk) her jerk ex. Coming with them on the roadtrip is Matty's friend Spencer, and his brother, Logan. On this trip, Rosie discovers that aside from the fact that she's better off without Joey, change can be good - if she's willing to accept it.

Rosie is surprisingly lovable. All her insecurities and feelings of inadequacy just made us want to hug her and tell her that everything will sort itself out. Her banter with her new friends was also downright enjoyable.

Rosie's romance with Logan was not something that was forced, and we just had to give kudos to that. Both came into their own feelings in their own time, and because of that, there was none of that weird awkwardness typical YA protagonists face after having a romantic interlude. Spencer, Matty, Avery, and Lilliana (So that's basically everyone then, except the cheating fink, Joey.) were awesome, and almost made us wish that we could hang out with them as well. That road trip they took? We would definitely jump on the chance to have one just like that.

Oh, we've been on road trips before and have always enjoyed long drives. They provide chances to forget all your problems and just focus on yourself and having fun. Rosie's road trip was something of that sort. She got to visit different states - the scenes were very well described - and her foray into Dollywood was highly amusing. This road trip also served as an escape for Rosie, to keep her far away from her ex, but the trip was also a time for Rosie to think about everything she's done and the grief she must have put her parents' through thanks to her antics. Rosie's burgeoning acceptance of her identity without Joey made us feel like we were finally getting a long lost best friend back from her dark cave of despair.

What truly made her summer unforgettable was that she realized that the changes that were happening to her were for the better; life really doesn't end after a bad break-up and you can find love and friendship in the oddest of places.

How My Summer Went Up in Flames is basically one of the best light-hearted contemporary reads out there. While Rosie's impulsiveness and obsessiveness were quite annoying at the start, it was hard not to grow to love her and the rest of the gang. If you're thinking of picking up a light book to get away from it all, get this one and it'll be almost as if you went on a road trip as well.

As it is, I was still disappointed that I spent ten bucks on a book I sort of enjoyed. Here's the thing... I didn't exactly trudge through or have to force myself to finish the book. I followed at an acceptable pace, but the whole time I was thinking "...Ehh."

From the start of the book there was nothing I liked about Rosie, the main character. She was obsessive, impulsive, and stubborn. Now, lots of book characters have those qualities... but there is usually a history that supports why the character is the way they are. Or there are positive qualities to offset all of the bad ones. But Rosie was just annoying!

She was obsessed with this boy after he dumped her. This is pretty normal and I know plenty of people (myself included) that wouldn't leave well enough alone after being dumped. But Rosie here, the whole plot of this story is that she got dumped by her boyfriend and basically stalked him to the point of a restraining order... and then KEPT stalking him! "Oh let's just drive by his house and see if his car is there. Oh, it isn't? Let's just run by his work..." On and on until finally her best friend/neighbor Matty convinces Rosie's parents to let her tag along on his road trip.

...Which then introduces another character I couldn't stand, the male lead! Okay, my boyfriend makes fun of me because I always seem to like the really stand-offish romantic interests. But usually they open up and reveal a softer more sensitive side and are really witty with their insults, etc. Well forget that with the romantic interest in How My Summer Went Up in Flames! Logan had mild depth in terms of his relationship with his father, but it was barely visited. The rest of the time he was just an asshole that we as readers were expected to like, because for some inexplicable reason Rosie is drawn towards him (although thankfully this means she is becoming less obsessed with her ex).

Even Matty, her best friend and neighbor, is only mildly likable. And even so, he's only likable because he is so vanilla that there isn't much you could dislike about him.

Another character met along their trip is rich girl/brainiac, Avery. I don't even know how to describe my feelings about Avery. It was like she was dough, ready to be kneaded into whatever type of supporting character for which the scene called. At one point she was the love rival and at others she was the confidante. It's possible for one character to fill many roles, but with Avery it wasn't so much that she was a character with hidden depth. It was more like she played the part of three separate characters without the extra work of actually having three separate characters.

The only character I actually liked was Spencer, Logan's little brother. And he didn't have much of his own story at all. I finished the book and was seriously thinking, "What happened with Spencer? I don't give a shit about these other people!"

The whole story just sort of went with the flow. I mean, it was a road trip... so they went several different places. There was a lot of interaction between the characters and some mild (and a few major) conflicts. But there really wasn't any character growth, in my opinion. They just went on this trip, and by the time they got home it was like Rosie was suddenly not a crazy-stalker ex-girlfriend any longer. Seriously? How did she arrive to that state of being? It certainly wasn't cross country and by car! Because I was there for that trip, and nothing happened that would explain her sudden maturity and clear thinking by the end of the book.

I was just so disappointed with this whole book. It had promise for being absolutely hilarious and inspiring, but everything just fell short of greatness. It was a decent story and I didn't want to claw my eyes out or anything, but this could have been such an awesome book and I hate that it wasn't.(less)

How My Summer Went Up in Flames was a cute book about growing up and moving on. Though I didn't adore it, I definitely liked it.

Rosie was an okay heroine, but she could be rather frustrating. She was very impulsive and that often led to her make really stupid decision and, as it happened, made me want to shake some sense into her. And, I didn't get why she was so determined to talk to her ex, when that was obviously the worst thing she could do at the time. You know, restraining order and all. But, over the course of the book, she slowly grew up and matured. No longer was she impulsive and selfish, she became a strong person who I could respect.

The romance in this book was minimal. It was more of a tool for Rosie's growth. She needed to learn how to deal with her feelings and the feelings of others. And when to walk away. There were a few boys that portrayed her growth in that area.
But, the main guy (I would say love interest, but it was a very minimal addition and they barely got together by the end of the book) was Logan. I didn't think he was a particularly deep character, though he did have some depth. I liked that he would call Rosie out when she was being ridiculous about something, which both satisfied my frustration with her and helped her grow up.

Spencer and Matty-the other two members of the road trip-were great characters. I really liked them both and I liked how their characters were explored more than an average secondary character.

The plot was okay, though Rosie's determination (read: stubbornness) slowed things down a few times. But, overall, I was kept interested the whole time. And the ending was both realistic and satisfying, which I really liked.

I really liked the road trip aspect of the book. I thought it was very well done and it created an interesting backdrop to the story. From Dolly Parton to hot cowboys, the road trip component of the book was excellent.

How My Summer Went Up in Flames was a good book. I liked it, though I didn't get into it enough to say I loved it. But, I would still recommend it to anyone who wants a nice, light, entertaining read.

Rosie isn’t normally the kind if girl who starts off her summer vacation being served a temporary restraining order, but that changed after she allegedly made her ex’s car catch fire.
description

Lighter fluid and stuffed animals aren’t a great combination.
She also tosses away a few assumptions made about her in the first chapter: The car didn’t “explode”, it just caught fire. She doesn’t have a “bad temper,” she’s just passionate. And she’s not “hostile,” just a bit high strung lately. But Rosie’s in for another ride: literally. Her parent’s are sending her off on a nine-day road trip with her long-time friend and his two friends AKA three nerds. After all, how much trouble could Rosie get into with a GPS in her phone, miles between her and her ex, and being babysat by three responsible nerds who insist on sticking to the schedule (when they’re not discussing superheroes or dissecting all six Star Wars episodes)? But after all, this is Rosie we’re talking about, and she seems to have a knack for making things interesting…

Since I read this book back in November, I couldn’t stop talking about it, this book is just so much fun! First of all, I adore road trip books and this book had so many interesting locations and conversations that took place while driving that it really felt like you were on a road trip when you read it. This book also has so much humor in it. Seriously, if I didn’t have the ARC, I would be posting a whole list of quotes from it! Rosie has such a fresh, funny, sarcastic, and opinionated voice that gave this book such a great narration. All the other characters add so much to the book with their personalities. There’s just so much fun dialogue as you watch Rosie try to get along (or not) with Matty, Spencer, and Logan; their personalities clashing with each other definitely made for some great scenes, and then it was cute to see them all finally get along. I also like how Avery’s character was portrayed. While Rosie initially couldn’t help but see the rich, adorable blonde as the “competition,” they became friends and Avery was shown to be really sweet and supportive. It was really refreshing not to see any pettiness between the two, as a lot of YA novels I’ve read lately will have the two girls in a group fight, not stick together.

Cynical Cindy Says

I rolled my eyes quite a few times because I couldn’t understand why Rosie did some of the things she did. But, overall, Rosie was still a great character who accepted the consequences of her actions and grew up over the course of the book.

With road trip fun, great characters, and lots of laughs, I highly recommend this book!

She was so in love with the JERK FACE lol! Of course, fairy tale relationships don't last forever as we read in the book. Their relationship doesn't last, but she's beyond herself and is a mess trying to get over him. Sweety, you know to pump your brakes, take a laxative and RELAX! It happens to the best of us and we gotta move on. Not Rosie, must be that Latina Flare she has in her veins lol! She decides to get revenge, she burns up all the things Joey gave her on his driveway and that is "How her summer went up in flames." I wasn't into that part of the book. I was more into the ROAD TRIP TO SELF EVALUATION, CHANGES FOR THE BETTER, BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, A NEW CRUSH, GETTING TO KNOW YOUR FRIENDS AND MAKING NEW ONES, GETTING OVER THE PAST AND STARTING A NEW. Now that's what I was geared up to read.
Ok, REAL TALK, it was weird for me to read, that Ok Rosie is the only girl on the road trip, but OK Matty her trust worthy neighbor was there whom her parents trust, she kisses his best friend Spencer, it was his first kiss, which I accepted, she sleeps with Matty under the stars in his sleeping bag (innocently) and she crushes on Logan during the whole trip..Now that right there, was a handful haha! But because the author explained everythign so well, it was all gravy! I'm glad she was able to get to know all 3 boys in the story. Even Matty her neighbor had the hots for Rosie, but Rosie let him down so well that he couldn't get upset at her. So lets just sleep under the starts together, thats what I'm talkin about lol! Just kidding, but they did. Rosie loves Matty and he means the world to her whole family, so she tells him if they get involved and things don't work out, it would kill her. So they are still best friends and I'm glad. Sometimes your best friend isn't always meant to be your BOYFRIEND- forreals!
So I'm glad I read this book and it was refreshing, brought back alot of old school memories and genuinely enjoyed the RIDE across the country.
I plan to take a ROAD TRIP crossing states, but probably not to Arizona as my final destination,been there done that ha! Thank you for a good read! On a side note, Spencer can be my guy anyday!! He's smart, plays the guitar, thoughtful and genuinely nice- gotta love him!!(less)

PLOT

The plot of How My Summer Went Up In Flames is sort of vague, but it's there. Rosie has recieved a restraining order from Joey and her parents have decided to put her on a road trip to Arizona to get her away from trouble. Unbeknownst to her, Rosie's anger has sparked a new love interest. So basically, the plot is to have Rosie re-learn herself, get over Joey, and/or figure out her future. This book reminds me a bit of In Honor by Jessi Kirby, but without all the sadness, more drama queen, and more guys. And flirting.

CHARACTERS

I would've liked to learn more about Matty, Spencer, Logan, Avery... basically everyone. Miss Doktorski wasn't very in depth about everyone and made the story seem shallow even though the writing wasn't. Just the making of the characters was just too vague. I liked Rosie and her attitude, but she seems so forgiving for someone who's supposed to have a fiery temper. I just think she's a drama queen. Matty was NOT the love interest, which is a first for me cuz usually, road trip+no adults+childhood friend=<3<3 :)) >0< . So it was different in that way. Which was good. Logan, Spencer, I'll just put them together. Logan was stiff, a bit awkward, but concerned in the way guys are. Spencer was sweet and I liked him! But since they were all smiles and happy faces, I honestly didn't see that much a difference with anyone. Except Logan. He was holding up a sign that says,"LOOK! I'M A SEXY BROODER! LOVE ME GURLZ!" except in a less bad-boy way. Avery, ohmygosh she was AWESOME! For someone who was in the story for so little, she had to do with a lot of things and with very open-minded. And sweet. She didn't want to lead guys on cuz that's just cruel and can sometimes end you up with a stalker. So yeah. Now Joey. The bad guy. Honestly, he seemed like some kind of messed loser and obviously a jerk and especially at the end-You'll find out why-and I don't know WHAT Rosie saw in him. Or any girl. Either he's a sadist or just another saddie. he could've been a regular old ex and had pure motives and not been an ass about Rosie, but nooo! He had to get all drama. *sigh.* I'm starting to sound like my sister. Then last but not least, Lilliana! She was bad-ass even though I don't know how someone can be bad-ass on a phone but she just was. I loved her because she rooted for Rosie from the sidelines and had good instincts.

ROMANCE

The romance was meh and ~~sorta~~ very undeveloped. Miss Doktorski kept dropping hints but it was still sort of unexpected and awkward. Plus, Rosie kissed 2 guys, (okay, she only physically kissed one but she basically sorta already did with the other guy.) and was in a way confessed to by another. Ohmy God. That sounds so corny.

OVERALL

Overall, the finale was good, sweet, yes... But it couldn't have been cornier. I liked the "punishment" though. Actually, How My Summer Went Up In Flames is a very realistic book so that's one positive atribute. But I honestly think it was the characters that effected my rating of this book So this is a book for light readers, and since I'm a heavy reader, I might be pretty biased about everything, but hey? This isn't a review. They're my opinions.

With my guitar in tow I head over to the bright stadium lights. Everyone looks around, asking each other, “What the hell is going?” I plug in my electric guitar and cut my eyes to the front row, center. Slowly, a small smirk forms in my face. Everything and everyone goes eerie silence. Then the bands starts, not with a soft and mellow harmony, but pure edge and sass in to it. This is it, I think to myself and I open my mouth.

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I first started How My Summer. I'll be honest, sometimes when I'm on Edelweiss I won't even read the synopsis of a book if the cover seems like something I'll enjoy. I judge books by their covers. I do. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Sometimes I'm wrong and sometimes I'm right. If I hear enough good things about a book whose cover I don't like I'll go back and read it, but I'll almost always pick up a book if I like its cover. So I saw this one (cute shoes, polka-dot shirt, convertible, sunny skies, the word summer in the title) and went, yep, this is going to be one of my almost-summer reads.

How My Summer starts with our heroine, Rosie, being served with a temporary restraining order from her ex-boyfriend, Joey, after she accidentally set his car on fire. What happens was that Rosie saw Joey and his new girlfriend (a Freshman girl he had cheated on her with) at an end-of-school party. Rosie got seriously pissed so she took a box of Joey's things over to his house and set the box on fire in his driveway. She didn't mean for anything else to happen, she certainly didn't mean to blow up his car, but no she has been slapped with the TRO for her actions (and also for "stalking" since she can not stop herself from texting and calling him constantly, too).

Her neighbor, Matty, is there when she receives the TRO and comes up with a solution. In a few days he has plans to drive across the country with his friend, Spenser, and Spenser's brother, Logan, who is going to the University of Arizona (or Arizona State--or some other university in Arizona--one of those) and has to go early to start his program. Matty and Spenser plan to make the drive with Logan and then fly back to New Jersey. Matty convinces Rosie's parents that Rosie should come with them to get herself out of dodge and away from Joey. After Rosie and her best friend are busted doing a drive-by of Joey's house minutes after she receives her TRO, her parents agree with Matty, much to Rosie's dismay.

So she finds herself in the car with the 3 boys as they set out West. Spenser has their whole trip mapped out, down to the pit-stops, and Rosie finds she not going to have much say in the matter. So she finds herself in places she doesn't have much interest in (but that I think sounds awesome) like a cave in West Virginia, the Grand 'Ole Opery and Graceland (how could you not want to go to Graceland?). The road trip aspect was definitely one of my favorite things about the book. I've driven all over the United States and love stories that talk about places I've seen, and places I haven't yet. Along the way Rosie starts to contemplate her actions and what has landed her in this car to begin with.

I thought How My Summer was ok. It certainly didn't blow me away, but it was entertaining enough for what it was. I struggled with liking Rosie's character. She makes some seriously stupid choices throughout the book and spends a good amount of time slut-shaming her replacement (calling her a slut and a whore, etc). There were hints of something more throughout the book with all 3 of the boys in the car, even though she is just getting over a serious relationship with somebody that hurt her badly. I liked Rosie's character arc and thought the writing was fast-paced, but ultimately didn't really connect with her which made me not really care what happened to her.

In the end I would recommend How My Summer if you are looking for a quick summer book that highlights a road trip, hints of romance, and a real, if frustrating, heroine.

"First I lost my heart. Then I lost my mind."

I really love that line. It's a bit overdramatic, I know, considering Rosie's just seventeen years old but it's a very fitting way to describe what our girl had been through.

From the onset of the story, I wanted to comfort Rosie. I wanted to tell her that going through heartbreak is tough but it's not the end of the world. Sure, she made the colossal mistake of accidentally setting fire to her jerk of an ex-boyfriend's car but that she will surely ge...more

There are so many romantic entanglements in the making in this one, and in the mean time, I wanted to shake some sense into her! But her being on the trip to begin with was that, wasn’t it? It’s her family shaking her up. Distance, they said... but it’s more like them wanting her to open her eyes to what’s what. I liked the possibilities that that opened up.

It’s not the absent father or mother types in this one because they’re a hundred percent involved… and yet still: here we have a girl who a...more

How My Summer Went Up In Flames is a book that many girls (and women) across the globe can relate to. Rosie Catalano doesn't always think with her mind, but rather her broken heart. That much is obvious when her cheating, jerk of an ex-boyfriend serves her with a restraining order for blowing up his car and following him around. With her family already struggling through their finances, this is really the last thing they need. To keep her from continuing on the reckless path she has been following, her parents send her with her best friend Matty and his two friends on a cross-country road trip. The farther away they get, the more Rosie sees that maybe she can find a better romance, a bigger spark with someone else.

The main character is obsessed--absolutely obsessed--with her cheating ex-boyfriend. As creepy as it may be, I was really reminded of myself in high school. I didn't go as far as to set fire to my ex-boyfriend's car, but I did obsess over him after our break-up. So Rosie and my high school self are truly kindred spirits. While her perspective was relatable and hilarious, at some points, Rosie got on my nerves. It was difficult to sympathize with her at times because she seemed to be setting herself up for it. In several scenes, I wanted to take her aside and shake her until she got a grip on reality. I adored Matty, though the minor twist that he presents was a little too obvious and stereotypical for my taste. Her family also was a great addition to the story. Especially the friendship between Rosie and her brother, Eddie. It's not often that you see siblings who have such an open-relationship.

The thing I liked most about How My Summer Went Up in Flames was how the author tackled something that most authors just shy over. Some girls are crazy, even though they mean well. Rosie is proof of that. She's impulsive, not always easy to get along with and very flawed. That makes her one of the more realistic characters I've read about. This is how teenagers really are. Many of them do things without thinking them through. This novel weaves a comedic spin on the psychotic nature of teenage girls, but also shows the heart of the characters and the angst that all girls have felt at one point or another.

The plot moved a bit slow for my taste, but it was a pretty short read. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every minute. The thing that made it slow was really just Rosie's inner monologue. She over-analyzed a lot and made some stupid decisions that caused long detours in both the story and the trip being written about. The end was totally swoon-worthy, though. So worth it! I wish it had been longer, but even with non-issue, Rosie's adventure was a hysterical read that will make many laugh and smile.

Ms. Doktorski has so much talent. Before I picked this up, I read a galley of her sophomore novel, Famous Last Words, and it was absolutely fantastic. That's why I picked it up way earlier than it was released because I just had to get more of this author. While I did not like this as much as her second book, it was definitely something I'd recommend to fans of contemporary young adult and road trips. (And who doesn't love a good road trip?) Ms. Doktorski is an author that I truly look forward to seeing more of in the future!

I received an e-copy of this novel from the publisher for my honest opinion and review via Edelweiss.

While I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped I would, it's still a great contemporary YA novel with really good writing. Definitely worth reading just for the secondary characters and the road trip aspect.

Rosie is served with a temporary restraining order after accidentally setting her ex-boyfriend's car on fire. After being served with the TRO, she again does something stupid and immature, and her parents get fed up with her antics. They decide to send her away with their neighbor, Matty, who is the cute neighbor boy. Even though he is younger than Rosie, he is mature and responsible, so her parents feel comfortable putting Matty in charge of Rosie. Matty and Rosie go on a road trip with Matty's friend, Spencer, driving Spencer's older brother, Logan, to college.

Rosie was very impulsive and did a lot of things that I didn't agree with. I tried to sympathize with her because I realize that she was heartbroke after breaking up with her first boyfriend. I liked her personality, so I thought I would give her a second chance. However, I was so frustrated by her behavior throughout the book that I ended up not really liking her at all. Rosie is so self-centered and focused only on what she wants that she ends up hurting those around her. She did gain a bit of awareness by the end, but it was too little, too late for my opinion of her to change. Another huge negative about Rosie - she wants all of the boys to like her. Not just the 3 boys on the road trip with her, but also a cute cowboy she meets along the way. This annoyed me and it made Rosie look so shallow and boy crazy because she supposedly still wanted her ex back.

Matty, Spencer, and Logan were wonderful and very entertaining. Even though they had some things in common, they each had unique personalities, and I ended up liking all 3 of them. I thought Logan was very charming. I loved Spencer's personality and how he was always able to say the right thing at the right time. Matty was super cute and such a nice guy, especially to Rosie (even when she didn't deserve it). For the most part, I enjoyed their interactions with Rosie, and I liked they tried to help Rosie realize that breaking up with her ex wasn't exactly a bad thing.

Overall I thought it was a great summertime story and a really good road trip book. The writing is terrific, and it has a very good pace. I thought the story was very entertaining, and it was quick and easy book to read. Even though I didn't like the protagonist, I liked the story enough to keep reading and find out what happened with Rosie's ex and the charges against her. The turnaround at the end was a little bit too easy, but I thought the way things ended up was fitting. I was prepared to really love this book, but in the end it was just okay. I am still looking forward to reading the author's next book, Famous Last Words, due out this summer.(less)

But then the whole car torched and she now has a restraining order against her. Joey and Rosie broke up because he cheated on her with another girl.

Rosie is upset, yet she still thinks about him and kind of wants to be with him. If he changes, that is. She also has a brother and a friend who lives next door. The friend next door is Matty. He’s a pretty funny guy. They have been friends most of their life.

When Matty comes up with a plan to get Rosie away from their town, her parents go for it. She’s to go on a road trip with him and two of his friends. Their names are Spencer and Logan. Logan is a little older than Rosie and is going off to college. Thats what the road trip is about. Spencer is kind of a control freak.

Matty, Rosie, Spencer and Logan hit the road and Spencer has an itinerary. He knows exactly where they are going to stop and has a plan! Rosie is a riot, and I loved her interactions with all three boys. They meet some cool people along the way and visit some rockin places!

It was fun seeing Rosie experience what was going on, and start to realize the truth about her and her situation.

And, I loved the road trip angle of this! Road trip novels always get me! I love them so much! I love the feeling that I’m right there on the road with them! Love it!

Overall: This debut rocked for me. I really enjoyed it alot. I was a little surprised at the ending but I thought it went pretty well. I thought Rosie was a funny character and I liked her personality. How My Summer Went Up In Flames was a pretty neat debut novel and I can’t wait to read more debuts this year.

Cover: Its really colorful, right? The colors just fit. Its kind of bright. And the car fits this road trip novel! And she’s got her bag! I really like this cover.
