Kristine's Thoughts:
* I received an advanced readers copy of this book from Flux via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
This is the story of Forrest, a 16 year old girl, who is not popular, has no experience with boys and who dislikes her older brother's girlfriend Olivia. When she finds out that Olivia will be spending the month with her family at their beach house she thinks her summer is doomed. She soon finds out that things aren't always as they seem. Secrets and events happen in those thirty days that leave Forrest questioning the things she thought she knew and re-evaluating the things she didn't.
There are a few very relevant and important topics discussed in this book that many teens unfortunately have to deal with. I won't discuss them because I don't want to give the story away but I thought the author touched on them in a way that young teens will relate to in a very easy way. Although they are serious topics, the book did not come across too heavy and depressing but got the point across all the same.
Thirty Sunsets is a very quick and easy book to read that I think will really appeal to the younger of the young adult fans. It is a cute story of family and relationships. When deciding what to rate this book I thought back to my young teenage years and asked myself if I would have liked it and the answer is yes.
