Summary: Somewhat Typical Girl "Coming of Age" Story
Review: Yes, it's "that summer" for the young preteen girl when everything seems to change. She muddles through changing friendships, her parents' possible marriage problems, her grandfather's death (he's the controlling family patriarch) and her own feelings of right and wrong/morality. This was not a bad book, but I don't think it is Anna Quindlen's best book. I kept hoping for a great revelation or something to kind of wrap the story up, towards the end it just seemed to drift to a conclusion. Unfortunately, not much sets it apart from many other young girl "coming of age" stories out there.
