Alyssa never wants a boyfriend again. Well, that probably isn’t true, but between her parents’ divorce and her own recent breakup, she’s pretty sure it will be a long time before she can trust another guy. Which is why her attraction to Sven is so annoying. Why can’t he just leave her be? Can’t he tell she's a broody loner not his next sweetheart?
Sven is tired of being alone. Staying in the United States for the summer, however, is a recipe for single status. Never mind the hot girl he can’t stop staring at on the beach. The problem: Even if he gets her number, he’s only got two months before he leaves. He should just keep to himself. Right?
What a waste; Josh was at least Alyssa came out with something good from her summer in Virginia Beach... I got excited when I saw well read this book & it stated that she was in Virginia my home state.... plus Virginia Beach is so fun... & it’s crazy how it has different sections on that beach......
Besides that Alyssa got out of that heartache with Josh, especially if he dated her former ex-best friend & then some other girl... never know he could’ve been a hoe all along. I can tell Josh was a little jealous seeing Alyssa dancing with Sven I’m like ehh don’t hate... she got the better boy with the sexy name... but at least in the end her mom got the house back; I think her dad was just petty....& it was good that Sven decided to stay in the United States & ended up going to Boston College; dating his American girlfriend.... I also like how Sven listens to Alyssa that’s the best guy to have the one who listens; care and protect you... I can’t stand the ones that all for themselves they by far the worse kind of boyfriends and Alyssa realize that with Josh same as her mom with her husband (Alyssa dad)...Besides that I freaking love Sven name... ugh if I ever have a son that’ll be his name beside the name Zion... but Sven would be Sevyn in my way...
A short, but sweet, young adult read that can be enjoyed by mostly everyone as it deals with very real issues. Alyssa has been hurt and betrayed by almost everyone she knows, even her own parents. Withdrawing into her shell, she vows to never allow her heart to be touched by another relationship - well that is until Sven drops into her life. What starts out as a summer friendship and quickly moves to a summer fling, has Alyssa gasping for air and leaves the normally suave Sven very unsure of himself. The story is well written with a touch of tension, keeping the reader guessing regarding the future status of a summer fling. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
It fast and fleeting, kind of like a summer fling. It was cute, sweet, and just happened to work out in the end. AWE, I love happily ever after summer swift books.
