Summer Cool

Girls Like You #5-8

by Kate Petty

Holly, Alex, Zoe, and Josie are fast friends. During the holidays, Holly has an idea: each of them is to have a summer romance and report back. Holly is already in love with a boy she met in Barbados, but will the dream last when she visits him? Alex has always been one of the lads—but that changes when she plays mixed doubles in a tennis tournament. Meanwhile, at the local Community Theatre Project, Zoe meets the mysterious Lennie, and Josie is determined to be Queen of the Scene on the beach in Cornwall, even if it means trying to pull her best friend's boyfriend! A fantastic girly summer read following the lives and loves of four friends, and previously published as four separate books in the Girls Like You series.
