Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fall in love with Julie Garwood's Style!!
Review: Julie Garwood's "A Girl Named Summer," was an interesting book. This novel of hers is all going towards teenagers. It's the first time I read a book of hers and I think that she has interesting way of writting. It talks about a Senior(David) and a Sophomore (Summer) falling in love. But when Summer starts to lie to David her problems increase. She has to run in a six-mile race. Who would of thought that lying could get into a lot of trouble? As she works to win the race, she learns alot about herself. She learns that she doesn't need to be like other girls and she learns that you don't need to lie to get a guy.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not what I expected from Julie Garwood
Review: Not that I didn't like the book, mind you, but it was Julie Garwood style. I have every book she wrote, and this one is more of a VC Andrews book. I love her funny (ADULT) HISTRICAL characters, and hope to see more of those in the future.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good, quick read
Review: Ok, so it's not a historical romance geared towards adults they way her other novels are. Who cares? I like that Garwood has branched out into another genre, contemporary young adult fiction, and I think she could have success in the genre--as long as she doesn't stop writing her historicals! I enjoyed it very much, as did my other Garwood-fan friends. I hope she writes more.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good Story as always but geared towards teenagers
Review: The story was wonderful ~ typical Garwood style. I was disappointed that it was geared towards teenagers though. I was looking forward to a more adult geared story. Still awaiting the next adult romance novel.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pleasant,easy read
Review: This is a pretty good book. It's nice and relaxing to read. I got hooked on it. How many of us have met girls almost exactly like Ann Logan? David was kind of gullible and indecisive,though, switching from Summer to Ann and back again. It showed what a mess lies can get you into . It was a little childish,but I enjoyed reading it. It related to my life. "A Girl Named Summer" would probably be best for girls ages 12-15.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: review by a girl named Linda
Review: This is nothing special to me..just another romance novel.It is about Summer(a girl named Summer!)who likes a boy and tries to win a race to make him like her too.She is so intent on pleasing him and lying to him and impressing him that things get complicated.It kept my attention,for sure,even though it isn't my most perfect cup of tea.I think Julie Garwood had fun writing it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Okay, for younger readers...
Review: When I first saw this book, I kind of had a feeling it was for younger readers, but I am a fan of Julie Garwood, so I decided to buy it. After I was done reading it, I thought that the story was good, but not as good as her other stories, so I gave it to my ten year old sister to read.
