Perfect Summer is 'the' romance read!! It has a great plot, fully developed characters, and is just plain fun.  There are 2 storylines (yes, real ones, not 'fillers'), characters almost to 'human' to be in a book, and terrific dialogue.  Added attractions are giggles and out-right laughs (and lots of 'wish I'd said that' lines).  There is nothing contrived about the story (ignore the cover & blurb), and all scenes do not lead to the bedroom (when they do, it's worth the wait).  It is about how people relate and fall in love, not about lust that turns to love on the last page for 'happily ever after'.  Bonus: The main female character is not a 'petite, pert, size 2' and the secondary female is not 22-- yes, real women in a romance novel -- surprise!.  Bonus #2:  The men are smart, attractive, etc.  Why is this a 'bonus'?  One seldom finds a 'not perfect' female (in books, on TV, or in movies) with a 'smart, nice, hunk'.  Basically this is a fun (plan to pull an all-nighter), interesting, dump-every-romance-novel-cliche, sexy, love-is-great book.
