Each year, they return to the house and community they have known since they were children—and to Paul, the boy next door. But this summer marks a season of change: budding love and sexual interest, an illness, and a deep secret force all three to confront the increasing complexities of their lives and friendships. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Lost Somewhere BetweenAnn Brashares first gained fame with her "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series of books, and while "The Last Summer (of You and Me) is marketed as an adult novel, it is stuck somwhere between young adult and adult, a crossing of lines that doesn't always work. However, Brashares newest novel is a fast-paced entirely readable story that draws readers into the storyline immediately. Brashares creates a poignant portrait of love, longing, and loss. Riley and Alice have spent almost ... Read More Rating: - Starts slow,ends wellI bought this book merely for the whole beach theme. I felt it started out pretty slow and I almost gave up about 78 pages in,then after a week or two I decided to try again forward from page 78.I hate to say it, but when a tragedy strikes I was more interested in it and finished it all in 1 night.Like others I shed a tear and now I think that I did like it pretty well.Just beware of a slow start!! Rating:  - Just OKShort version: The book was just "ok". I agree with some of the other reviews that mentioned this book was geared more toward young adults. Not an outstanding book by any means but it had a good storyline and kept my interests. However, very predictable and a little boring at times. Rating:  - Lovely bookThis story really touched me - the story of the friendship of the three children (two sisters and a summertime neighbor boy) and how that relationship changes as they get older and the complications that result hit a nerve with me. Who hasn't been the one left out? And how do the two in the new relationship deal with the third again when that first trio is broken? I was hooked from the beginning and I almost felt that I was a character in the book myself while I was reading it. The author helped ... Read More Rating: - Angieville: THE LAST SUMMER (OF YOU AND ME)I haven't read any of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, Book 1) books and I haven't seen the movie. But when I read about Brashares' first adult foray, it sounded like the right time to give her a shot. THE LAST SUMMER is just lovely. The writing tripped along as pleasantly as waves washing up on Fire Island. Main trio Alice, Paul, and Riley try to navigate their post-adolescent years while holding their difficult relationships intact. The quiet, clean writing fit the ... Read More
