I like this book. If I were a few years younger, maybe I would have liked it even more. The characters' dialogues have a youthful tone to them, showing teen struggles and how they think of dealing with it. Unlike in most cases where we get the girl's perspective, this time the book is from the guy's. It is quite refreshing to see a protagonist stumble his way through the roadblocks, learning everything as he goes. The book is the right touch of action, adventure and romance that you'd definitely want to read should you wish to reminisce the good old days (mind you, I'm not THAT old yet, so I can still relate to it).
Summerlypse gives us a glimpse on what it's like to be an adolescent boy, experiencing life and struggling through it in order to reaching his dreams, or in the least, his dream girl. A new place, different culture, a little of action and a whole dash of romance, Summerlypse is the read for the teens-at-heart.
Gerardo Delgadillo lives in the Dallas metropolitan area with his wife and
