Jessica, Lara, and Greer are wealthy 17 year olds who join their families in a trio of beach houses for the summer. It’s a summer of parties, boys, and designer clothes, but the hot guys are flirting with other girls and Greer’s mom and Lara’s boyfriend is off at camp but shows up just as she’s enjoying Marco’s company. There’s plenty of booze and sex, and did I mention the designer clothes?
This is part of the “Summer Girls” series, and if this is an example, I won’t be reading the rest. The dialogue is ridiculous, the product placement is nauseating, the booze flows freely, the goal of the summer seems to be to sleep with a guy or two or three, and there’s one scene where one of the girls “hooks up” with a guy she just met. Although the profanity is virtually non-existent and the sex is “off screen”, there is nothing to redeem this storyline. The girls seem to learn nothing from their experiences, except the proper accessories to wear with a Christian LaCroix dress. This rich girls in love has been done so much better. Skip this series & read The Celibutantes or The Likely Story series or even Pretty Little Liars.
