OK so this is not actually the sequel to BEACH BLONDES - this is actually book 3 and its a bad sign whent he publisher doesnt even know wat order the books are in. so after beach blondes the next one in the series order is Spring Break. BUT if u is like me and u didnt realise Spring Break is actually the 2nd book have no fear. u can still understand TAN LINES but be warned. things are not as we left them at then end of beach blondes.

I thought this book was better then the first one and in the beginning I could barely put it down. However, that urge seemed to fade away halfway through the book because I felt like the story was kind of being dragged on. I think it was a good read but it may have been more enjoyable if it was shorter and some things were cut out. The ending also left it open for a sequel which I may or may not read.

I started this book and couldn't finish it. The first one in this series (Beach Blondes) was okay, fun but not too deep. This one promised to be the same only when I started reading it, I felt like I'd missed a book in between! All of the previously established relationships between characters were different. Friends were now enemies, people were dating completely new people, etc., etc. It's like, I understand time can't stand still for the characters but it was something major that happened to ...more
Sun, sea, sand, boys ... and drama all around.
This novel has got the elements that make it work. There's the love triangle, the betrayal, the eating disorder, a bit of mystery and like I said earlier, drama.
This novel is, as I understand, a part of a series. But reading this book won't make you feel so left out or confused with the storyline. It makes you just wanna read the other books in the series. Even this book does not put thing conclusively. We still yet to know what w...more

So, this is the 3rd book from the Summer series. I was honestly disappointed with this book. The story in general was very good, but it dragged on for about 500 pages or more. I didn't like the fact that there were alot of back-stories either. I also hated how the book ended...Maybe it's just me, but I always like a concluded ending and I just didn't feel like the book was complete. I don't think this was the greatest Summer novel but I still love the whole "summer break" theme. Hopefu...more
First, I like the book, it is worth reading. I really don't know the sequence. I just bought this on booksale I thought this is the first one. I'm looking for the first book now..
I was a bit lost with the story, but there are descriptions that somehow gives me an idea from the first book. I should say it is worth reading.
It's all about Love, Friendship and Betrayal. I don't like Seth and Diana here.. so rude they betrayed Summer (especially Diana because she is Summer's ...more

I absolutely was in love with this book. After reading the first one i was excited to get started on Tan Lines. All the drama is interesting and it pulled me in more and more with each chapter. The sneaky lies and love at the keys seemed real as could be, this author is one of my favorites.
Okay, I will admit, it was better than the first one. And that is saying a lot, cause I loved Beach Blondes. But I will say, Tan Lines, made me really mad throughout the story. It wasn't the writing, or the characters, it was just what was happening. I also didn't like the ending at all. It wasn't until I started this book, that I realized that I should of read Spring Break Reunion, before this. I did notice that I was lost sometimes throughout the beginning of the stories. So if you read this s...more
I though this was the second one!
So after I read it I found out that Spring Break is the second and this is the third.
So I am going to go back and read Spring Break as well.
But this one was just as amazing as the first in the series and I am sure the second one will be great too. :)

What a great series! This second book takes place the summer after the first and a lot of things have changed. It's well written and my only disappointment is that there aren't any more books in the series!
Although I didn't like the ending so much, overall I liked the book. It was a cute, easy, summer read, and that's all that it was. If you're looking for a substance filled novel, this isn't the one.
This is the the third book in the seires and I think that it wasn't that good. I am hesitant to read the last book but I really want to finish the series.
was pretty good . Very long a little over 500 pages. took me a little over a week to read it. i recmend it to people who like romance novels.
