Given by the author for an honest review for her Blog TourBefore I start delving into the book, I would like to state something about the author CM Stunich. As much as we all hate labels, we can't help but categorize books into Romance, Contemporary, NA, YA, Erotica ..thus placing the relating authors in similar categories. And that's why CM Stunich is unique and one of a kind. She can't be placed into any category! Her work is so distinguishable and so special that simply doesn't fit into any category. Her series Hard Boots has so different language than Crushing Summer that you couldn't possibly imagine that they're written by the same person.CM Stunich is one of the most inventive and creative authors I've ever had the pleasure to read. She is truly one of a kind.Crushing Summer is the book every author has to write. It is the book that reflects the author's mind perfectly. It's the book that pushes the author on the front stage demanding a standing ovation.Personally, I didn't focus on the romantic elements so much. The story was full of half-answered questions that had my mind in a twist. It has a strong mystery aura that leaves you reeling. But what won me and my mind was the imagination and the creativity of it. The whole "Assignment" idea being a tradition in a small town and how it affected every single person who lived there..A great idea that really tests the character of the author and CM Stunich proves once again she is one hell of a woman and a writer, who is not afraid to publish something different.So now let's meet our characters that had our hearts pounding in our chests...>>Chloe is the girl next door, who gets along with everyone and doesn't want to fight. She's also the strong-opinioned young lady, who isn't afraid to speak her mind and make decisions that may distance herself from an entire town. She's also the one who will suffer right with you, when you're in pain, and the one who will defend you with all her might, even if you let her down.Chloe is the perfect combination of feistiness and sensitivity all wrapped up in a beautiful leader.>>Casper is a very strong young man. He doesn't take any crap and he stands up for the person he loves in a fearless way. I cannot imagine how a family lives through that pain. Knowing someone you love will die, will suffer so much in such a young age and for so long. Chloe was right; Casper was handling everything very well.He is just so strong..And in the end..When everything fell apart..He showed us just how much of a Man he is...Crushing Summer is an important book. It's something you should have in your library (electronic or not, lol)
