    About this audiobook

    Julie Garwood’s tales always sparkle with the magic that comes from falling in love. Now her talent shines brighter than ever in an unforgettable tale about young love meant especially for younger listeners.

    Summer never meant to lie. She just wanted to keep the most perfect guy she ever met interested in her. She had been surprised when David began hanging out with her every day...and dizzy with happiness when he kissed her. David seemed to like her unconventional Irish family, even her eccentric Grandpa. Everything was going great—until Ann entered the picture. She collected boys like trophies. How could Summer compete with someone like that?

    Before she knew it, Summer was boasting to David about her passion for long-distance running. She never dreamed he’d enter them in a six-mile race. Summer dreaded the moment when he would discover the truth: she couldn’t run six blocks. And the flirtatious Ann was already working on David. Then Summer's Grandpa came up with a plan that was just crazy enough to save the day….

      It was sweet, but sappy very unlike the other books that I have listen to by her.

    • 4/5
      This was a sweet young adult novel. This is Garwood's first novel and it feels a bit dated. I still enjoyed it, however.

      There is a romantic thread that rubs through the books, but the story is really about Summer's journey in finding herself.
