Although Lori annoyed me, I still thought that her relationship with Adam was cute. Thankfully, Adam is more level-headed and tried to keep Lori more grounded. I knew half of her plans would backfire as they all lacked common sense. Lori is just as much fun in this book as the first, but her crazy schemes and planning are too over the top and unrealistic. Plus (lets be honest!), I needed a break from Lori who was really pushing my buttons. I actually really liked this, not only because I enjoyed Adam, but I also got a different perspective of the situation from a more reliable narrator as Lori can be too impulsive. In Endless Summer, Echols writes with alternating points of view switching from Lori to Adam. While I didn't enjoy Endless Summer as much as The Boys Next Door, it still satisfied my romantic comedy sweet tooth. Of course it involves Sean, Adam's brother, and a few hilarious situations. But Lori has something up her sleeve and hopes to remedy the situation. Even Adam's family is upset and thinking of sending him to military school as they are tired of dealing with him. Of course, no one believes her! However, her dad is really upset and has forbidden Lori from seeing Adam all summer, which as far as she is concerned is the worst possible punishment. She gets in trouble for spending all night out with Adam, but really, she didn't do anything wrong as she just fell asleep. Things pick up exactly where The Boys Next Door ends and as usual, Lori finds herself in a crazy situation once again. If you're looking for a book to throw into your tote to take to the beach-this is perfect! It has the summer heat, the summer boys, and the summer love.

You root for their relationship when it struggles, and you sigh at the parts that make your heart flutter!

The couple has a kind of chemistry everyone searches for and the kind of passion that propels you to keep turning the pages to see where they end up. So when they collide into love, it's spectacular. She's spent so many summers with Adam and his older brother, Sean-she's never really thought of Adam as a boy to date. Lori is the kind of girl who is laid back and has always been one of the boys. I can't really put it into words how much I adored Lori and Adam as a couple. I'm not going to give away too much about the plot of the book-because it is just SO GREAT. Endless Summer is a continuation of that book, so it's a pleasure that they are together-with a beautiful cover! Packaged in this collection is a re-release of The Boys Next Door.

Endless Summer, the recent release from Jennifer Echols, is a perfect summer treat.
