Yah i know, its still 4 months to go before summer but look, im already done reading a fascinating SUMMER novel. I didnt consider the fact that the book is a summer book, but what i did considere is the content. I was kinda hooked with the front cover the the book's title. Then i've read the synopsis its like whoah, i'll buy this..hahaha
I slightly envy Summer's summer. Why because her summer turns out to be not just cool but oh-sizzling-hot. Specially with the three guy's she've met(Seth Warner, Adam Merick and Diver Smith)
Marquez turned out to be Summer's bestfriend aside from Jennifer her bestfriend from Florida. Her cousin, Diana is really a vampire awakened from her coffin.
Oh i love this book. Definetely a Summer Novel
here are some of my favorite lines and quotations form this book:
"no they dont" Summer said. " Lots of times i dont. Lots of times im like a cloud changing shapes with the wind. Its like people look at me and some think i look like a rabbit or a squirrel, and others think, no, that cloud looks like a map of Australia"
"and you nknow what? In Bloomington -Minnesota-home-of-the-mall-of-America, as you so sarcastically put it, maybe we know what were worth, and maybe were worth more than even you can pay"
~Summer
"Thats how its been since tht first kiss in the airport, Seth. Ive been trapped, and there was almost no hope of escape"
~Summer
"The answer is revenge. Hurt everyone who hurt you. Hurt them worse than they hurt you. Hurt them until they never want to hurt you again"
~Diana
JT - "yeah i need help. i need help. i need someone"
Marquez - "JT, look, you knwo im not good at -"
JT - "not you, i dont need you."
Marquez - " then what the..."
JT - "her, thats who i need.i need the girl who painted all this. not you
" that girl, shes the one i love.Shes the one i cant forget. I saw her once, dressed in this gown, this fancy dress, painting and... just gone, just not even part of the world anymore. Did you know that?"
" did you know i was there and saw you that one time?"
" I guess if you love someone that much, you have to accept the fact that it can end up being painful"
~Marquez
~Love. It was just like alcohol. A little fun followed by a long, painful hangover.
