Review: I did not like the sources of conflict.  They felt contrived to create drama.  They annoyed me.

SUMMER GIRL by Sophie Hill.Some of the conflicts are described in Spoilers below.  If those don't bother you then you might like the book.  She's had a crush on him for years.  All of a sudden he notices her and they fall deeply and madly in love.  They are each dealing with different secrets from the past.  She wanting to uncover something.  He is still suffering from his.One thing that bothered me.  Slade was sleeping with different girls every night for years, never wanting a relationship.  All of a sudden he spends a couple days with Heather and says "she was the best thing to ever happen to him."  I thought how?  Why?  I didn't see her doing anything different from other girls.  I wanted to see more support for that.CAUTION SPOILERS:Slade breaks up with Heather because he believed a lie.  Heather is grieving. The next day Slade believes the truth and calls Heather many times, but she won't answer her phone.  Her reason?  She didn't want "to let him get her hopes up and break her heart all over again."  That did not make sense.Heather breaks up with Slade because she assumes something inaccurate, and she won't even discuss it with Slade.  Again Slade called her many times but she wouldn't answer the phone.  She even threw her phone away because she was afraid he would keep calling.Slade shows up and tells Heather he wants to help her with something.  Heather lies and tells him she doesn't want his help.  She says if he doesn't go away she'll call the police.  That did not fit motivations.  It annoyed me.END SPOILERS.DATA:Narrative mode: alternating 1st person Heather and Slade.  Kindle count length: 2,587 (342 KB) 191 pages.  Swearing language: strong including religious swear words.
