I loved this book! It was really good and out of the books that I've read of hers(banana splitsville, rocky road trip, wish you were here) this was defintely my favorite.

Maine squeeze by Catherine Clark is a book about a girl named Colleen who has lived on an island in Maine her entire life. This is the summer before she goes to college. She is trying to shuffle friends, boyfriends, and work and she is really confused about what she should do. I liked many aspects of this book, although at times it dragged on. I think people who like books based in Maine or about a regular girl would like this book. This book was pretty good, but not really my kind of book.

this book was different, it's not like most of the books i read which are more so like Hunger Games, Twilight, etc. but this one is predictable, it's the type of book you would read just for fun to relax and think about summer and try n picture you being at the summer time. I liked the book until the ending. The ending was pointless and didn't really give any closure as to the book being over, i thought there was going to be another chapter because i got the 2 in one book Maine Squeeze edition....more

Suddenly things don’t turn out well when her ex-boyfriend, Evan who she dated last year shows up, and works side by side with her. Colleen still seems to have juicy feelings for Evan. Will Colleen's relationship with Ben last? Who will she choose Evan or Ben? Things seem to get juicy...more
As my fifth contemporary fiction bingo book, I read Maine Squeeze by Catherine Clark. This is about a girl named Colleen who’s parents are going away for the summer and are allowing her to stay in their house with a couple of her closest friends. Everything seems to be going well until she runs into her ex-boyfriend who had moved away during the school year.
I think that overall, this book was alright. The characters were well described but I didn’t enjoy reading about some of their decisions....more

This book is about a girl named Colleen, and her summer. Her friends move into her house because her parents went to Europe for the summer. She is currently dating a boy named Ben, but when she sees her ex named Evan, she becomes torn between the two. It was awfully shallow, and it had no other events besides BOYS. If you need a quick,summer, beach read then read this to waste time. Not one of my favorite books. I am mad that I wasted two days on this book.
This was cute. Loved the teenage angst. I thought it was appropriate for the age group although I still a pretty big sap and heart and would love to think that everyone lives happily ever after, even when they are barely 18.
Haley wasn’t my favorite character. I really just felt like she got so mad at Colleen because (view spoiler), but that’s just my opinion.
Eh. I really loved Truth or Dairy but this book is nowhere near as good. I did spend a lot of time trying to think about what Maine island it was and didn't come to any conclusions. Oh well.
I did not enjoy this book, it was very juvenile and had a weak plot. More suited for 16-18 yr olds. I thought it would be about summer adventures on an island, instead it was about teens working in a restaurant and a girl who couldn't choose between 2 guys.
This book was okay, though I didn't really like the storyline. I guess this book was more on the practical side whilst I like my chick lit to be more on the optimistic side. I would recommend it only if you didn't have anything else to read.

eh..It was good, something to defiantly a book to read just to pass the time but it was kinda cliche in a way, theirs nothing wrong with it being cliche it was just kinda ordinary... And the ending didn't do it any justice.
I loved it, it reminded me of my life as I live in Maine as well. I related so well to this whole book. If you live in Maine or a small town and enjoy stories about summer love I very much suggest this book.
This book is a light, cute, afternoon on the beach fluff kinda read. Adorable, and makes me want to go to Small Town, Maine (where everything is 'quaint').
It was forever ago when I read the book (I was 14!?) so now I am going to hunt it down and read it again. If only I could find my old copy here somewhere! ...
It was a fun read. It wasn't too deep but it had some drama, humor, and romance. A perfect book for someone who doesn't want something too complicated.
My summertime guilty pleasure... This is a great quick read. I've been reading this book almost every summer since high school.
Wow, I wasn't expecting to be so let down after reading something from Catherine Clark
She always writes cute stories that makes wishing for a romance like that. not with this one though..

It was romantic and fun to see that other people struggle with who they like and choosing a boyfriend.
simple beach-read. mindless fiction that you can breeze through on a car trip or laying in a lawn chair. I liked it for what it was. :]
Read this at the island but don't remember too much about it.
Fluffy read - cute characters.

So far so good!!
really good book!
Cute.
'kay, so the main character, Colleen, is torn between two guys - her current BF, sweet and stable Ben, and the schmuck who broke her heart last summer, Evan. I don't want her to end up with either of them. This girl - yes, girl, as she's no older than 18 tops - claims to be torn, but she's so self-absorbed about the whole thing, I hope she ends up alone and bitter....yeah, she chose one of them. For an 18 year old, the choice was obvious. Stupid on her part, but obvious.

I live in Minneapolis, work in Saint Paul, and love crossing the Mississippi River every day because it reminds me of home, growing up in western Mass. Well, that was the Connecticut River, but anyway. Transitive property applies.
