Review: summertime with the Crew!
Rating: 5 out of 5

It's summer break for Laney, Dane and the rest of the Crew.  This a novella (though a good length for one!) and is written only from Laney and Dane's POV.  I am assuming since this takes place over the summer, Sawyer's story will begin where this leaves off.I am team Evan but I really finally started to like Dane in this novella.  He grew on me and I'll be excited to see where all the members of the Crew end up when Ms. Hall is done with their stories.This novella mainly focuses on Laney's new duplex and getting it ready for her to live in.  She and Dane make a bet-- they each decorate a room (because they can't agree) and the Crew will vote to see who wins.I actually feel bad for poor Dane during part of this but I don't want to spoil anything so I'll keep quiet (has to do with what he wins if his room is chosen).  We get little glimpses of Evan, Whitley, Zach, Bennett and Tate as well.  The characters are so loveable and I have actually fallen more in love with the side characters than the two main ones.  So please, Ms. Hall... keep them coming!BTW, there is no cliffhanger to set up Sawyer's story so don't worry about that. He's in the book and you can tell his story is being set up but it doesn't leave you hanging about any storyline.
