    Lexie believed that her life was over when her mother bought her a tennis racket and a bikini, two of the things that
    she hated the most. And when she finds out that her mother had signed her up for a tennis day camp, her life seemed
    to be going down the drain, especially when finding out that her twin brother, Colin, wouldn’t be there. Then Colin
    brings up some major news that changes Lexie’s perspective on this upcoming summer. Jake, Colin’s best friend
    and the guy that Lexie has had a crush on since the very first time they met, will be at camp, too. Maybe now Jake
    will finally see Lexie as more than just a friend - and maybe even ask her to be his girlfriend.

    Before she knows it her dream comes true; well, kind of. Jake finds out that Bree, the most popular girl in school,
    has her sights on him, and Bree always gets what she wants. But Jake is far from interested in being her boyfriend.
    So Colin comes up with a master plan: have Lexie become Jake’s “girlfriend” so Bree will back off. Unfortunately,
    Bree doesn’t get the hint and still tries to get Jake to notice her. Yet something much bigger happens, the feelings
    between Jake and Lexie change, and now Lexie doesn’t understand what is fact and what is fiction.  Are they still
    pretending?

    HE’S WITH ME starts out the very new pseudo-series I HEART BIKINIS, and what a great job it does. Sure, it
    may seem like any other fluffy teen novel, but the story that Tamara Summers has created leaves a smile on the
    reader’s face all the way until the last page. This is the perfect beach read for this upcoming summer.
