    It has been a year since the tragic death of Matt, Frankie's brother and Anna's best friend. Everyone is still
    mourning.

    Frankie's parents think they are ready to go to their annual vacation spot in Zanzibar Bay, California. And this
    summer they are bringing Anna along with them.

    Here comes the Absolute Best Summer Ever, code name A.B.S.E., for Anna and Frankie. Frankie has come up
    with the plan for she and Anna to meet twenty boys while in California, for the "perfect" summer romance.

    Little does Frankie know, Anna has already had her perfect summer romance. It was last summer, with Matt.
    Before Frankie knew about it, Matt had died. He was to tell her on their vacation, and Anna had promised not to
    say anything.

    And she has still kept that promise.

    This story was amazing. It was so hard to put it down. It is a perfect read to start off the summer. I really enjoyed
    Anna's character, and by the end of the novel, you could really tell how much she changed. Frankie seemed so
    different from Anna; it was hard to picture these two completely different girls being best friends.

    Overall, TWENTY BOY SUMMER was totally amazing, and a great start to my summer reading. I recommend it
    to all!
