That Summer

The book that I am reading is called That Summer by Sarah Dessen.
It is about a 15 year old girl named Haven who is dealing with a lot of problems in her life. She's 15 and is already 5 foot 11 and feels like the whole world is staring at her. Her parents got divorced and her dad is getting remarried which causes frustration and irritation to her mother.
Her sister is getting married not far from her father's wedding and Haven has flashbacks of the summer and how she wishes she could go back.

The thing I like so far about reading this book is that it gives you like a step by step coming of age for teenagers and the problems you might end up actually facing. Parents separating/divorcing and then getting remarried is probably the main problem in a teens life now a days.

Megan, good response. That's one of the reasons I love YAL novels. The conflicts are very timely.

This book is on my "to read" list.
