Summer's List by Anita Higman

Summer's List (River North, June 2015)

A dying wish alters the course of a young woman's life.

Life hadn't been easy for Summer Snow. In acts of selflessness---caring for her ailing parents and running her grandmother's bookstore---she had forfeited her youth and dreams for the needs of others. And the only tries she had at love . . . didn't turn out. She had the bookstore, she had her beloved granny, but she was missing something---or someone.

Opportunity strikes when Granny sends Summer on an unexpected adventure with one Martin Langtree, a kind but gangly young man from Summer's past. A childhood friendship is rekindled, a romance is sparked, and mysteries are solved in one magical Texas summer. Will Summer strike out on love again, or will things finally go her way?

My Thoughts:

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, I loved the idea of giving a young adult a pre-bucket list of things for them to do, I loved Summer's name, Summer Snow, it was a fun name. When Summer's granny tells her that she is dying from congestive heart failure she gives Summer a list of things to accomplish. As Summer works through this list she finds her childhood friend Martin, and herself.

I am a Gramma and this book has given me an idea for my grandchildren. I am going to give them a list to work through after they graduate from high school. This was a perfect Summer book and I highly recommend it!
