<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A year after Superstorm Sandy, Lucy's life is returning to normal at the New Jersey shore, where she has grown up surfing with her twin brother, crabbing and long-boarding with friends, and working at Surf Taco, but the torch she holds for summer resident Connor, the center of The Big Mistake, still burns.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Will it be a summer of fresh starts or second chances? </strong></p><p>For Lucy, the Jersey Shore isn't just the perfect summer escape, it's home. As a local girl, she knows not to get attached to the tourists. They breeze in during Memorial Day weekend, crowding her costal town and stealing moonlit kisses, only to pack up their beach umbrellas and empty promises on Labor Day. Still, she can't help but crush on charming Connor Malloy. His family spends every summer next door, and she longs for their friendship to turn into something deeper.</p><p>Then Superstorm Sandy sweeps up the coast, bringing Lucy and Connor together for a few intense hours. Except nothing is the same in the wake of the storm, and Lucy is left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart and her broken home. Time may heal all wounds, but with Memorial Day approaching and Connor returning, Lucy's summer is sure to be filled with fireworks.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] marvelous novel...I highly recommend it to romance lovers everywhere." - <strong><em> Teen Reads</em></strong><br><br>"A thoughtful tale of forgiveness, growth, and the importance of learning to adapt to changes large and small." - <strong><em> Kirkus</em></strong><br><br>"Doktorski has crafted a rich, multilayered novel with a strong sense of place and a good mix of characters and problems." - <strong><em> Booklist</em></strong><br><br>"Doktorski has created a multi-dimensional character in Lucy, and placed her in a fully developed novel. Some readers may only notice that Lucy is torn between her romance with Collin and her life-long friendship with Andrew, but more mature readers will see she is grounded in her family and in plans for her future.
