Summer Story

The Summer of Firsts and Lasts is, obviously, another summer book.  It has the most amazing, albeit distracting, cover.  It's the story of summer camp, which I have never gone to actually. Reading this really doesn't make me want to go to summer camp.  I am not the camp type.  I am not the share-a-bathroom type.  I am not the get-out-of-your-comfort-zone type.  Well I don't know...maybe I am now.  But I definitely wasn't when I was in high school.
This is the story of three sister, Calla, Violet and Daisy.  Word or warning, they have lots of nicknames for each other and at times I was confused!
The girls have been going to camp for a long time.  This is Calla's fourth year and she is now working in the office.  She'll be headed off to Smith in the fall.  Violet will be a senior and I think Daisy is going to be a sophomore or junior in the fall.  Calla is UBER CAMP GIRL!  In love with all things camp.  Violet is more the skeptic and borderline rebel, and Daisy is introspective and a bit of a loner.  The three weeks they spend together at camp is full of well, firsts and lasts.  The ending took a turn that I didn't see coming at all.  But it really made the book a success.  First heartbreak, first sexual experience, etc.  It's a long book, more than 400 pages, but it is a good one, especially for summer.
