Young Adult

Hailey Abbott’s Summer Boys takes a weepy turn in this story of one girl’s attempt to tell her childhood friend how she really feels about him.

Alex thought she’d be spending the summer focused on her family’s rafting business, burying the memories of her father’s death last year, and leaving behind all the messes she made in its wake.

But when Sean returns to town, she is forced to reckon with her mixed-up crushy feelings for him— more powerful than ever before. It takes another tragedy to make Alex realize Sean has loved her, and forgiven her, all along.

Re: Heartbreak River

Music has always defined me; whether it's listening, playing, or singing, music is my release.

I agree that the lyrics of some songs can really touch us. When we hear a lovely song on the car radio I Google the lyrics when we get home.

Music has always been an important part of my life. These days, I find certain music helps me concentrate while writing. I use it to block out distractions around me.

Music definitely has the power to set moods and enhance surroundings. I've found music I like keeps my energy level and concentration up. I can see how a line or two of music creates immediate bonding with the reader and anchors the time in the past as in retro and might just be a classic which comes around again in popularity.

You know, it doesn't have to "popular" music that grabs your heartstrings. Classical music and opera both do it, too! Just because it's not "popular" doesn't mean it's not good!!

Music is a big part of my life. I listen
whenever I can. Certain songs bring
back memories. Others express things
just the right way. Good luck with your
books.
