The blurb:
Ever wondered what happened to your
first love?
Alice is 18 and about to start
university while Joe’s life is going nowhere. A Dorset summer, a chance
meeting, and the two of them fall into step as if they have known each other
forever.
But their idyll is shattered
unexpectedly. Alice heads off to Cambridge and slowly picks up the pieces of
her broken heart. When she catches the attention of Lukas – gorgeous, gifted,
rich boy Lukas – she is carried along by his charm, swept up by his ambitious
plans for a future together.
Years later, at just the wrong time,
Joe is back, but out of reach in a way that Alice could never have imagined.
Life has moved on, the divide between them is now so great. Surely it is too
late to recapture that perfect summer of long ago?
My Opinion:
One Perfect Summer was just an
interesting book in the book store first. I read the blurb and decided to buy
it and read it. This summer I finally had the time to do this and it was
definitley worth every minute and every single page!!!
When I started reading I couldn’t put
the book down, it was so gripping, full of emotions and depth. Paige’s style of
writing really takes you into the story, you can image the pictures and you feel
close the the characters.
Alice and Joe are perfect together, you
can really feel their love for each other. It is a great story about first love
and two soulmates who found eachother.
However, there is always some drama in a love story. After their perfect
summer everything changes. There is a lot of heartache and you might have tears
in your eyes.
Alice eventually moves on, but it takes
her very long and Joe is always in her mind. Lukas the handsome German comes
into her life and after a while they start dating. You could say he’s to total
opposite of Joe. Her life is okay until her wedding day, when she sees a DVD of
a film, with an actor who she knows really really well. Joe has changed, but
he’s back in her thoughts. But, she does get married!!!
We can read about her life with Lukas,
but there is always Joe and then she finally sees him again!!! Does this change
her life???
After reading this book I couldn’t wait
to buy Paige’s other books and read them immediately!!!
Sweet, amazing and charming!!! A great
summer-read.
Rating:
My possible cast:
Alice: Felicity Jones
Lukas: Chace Crawford
