Endless Summer by Jennifer Echols is a stupendous summer read! It’s a collection of two summer novels: The Boys Next Door and its sequel Endless Summer.

Lori spends the entire year just waiting for her summers at the lake, where she works at her neighbors’ marina with her older brother. The pluses for working there every summer: 1) Wakeboarding everyday 2) Extra cash 3) Working on her golden summer tan 4) The Vader brothers.

Ever since Lori was a little girl, she’s had a crush on Sean Vader. The downside=he’s two years older than her and sees her as “one of the guys.” Lori has tagged along with her older brother since childhood, just to hang with Sean and Adam Vader. But Lori is determined that this is the summer Sean will notice her. She has a plan!

The plan: First, start acting and dressing more like a girly-girl. Second, start hanging out with the younger of the Vader brothers, Adam, who is her age. The hopeful outcome is that seeing her with Adam all summer will make Sean jealous, thus causing him to sweep Lori off her feet in a fit of jealousy. The fatal flaw in this otherwise brilliant and foolproof plan: Adam has an agenda of his own.

Full of romance, summer sun, and laughs, this two-in-one novel is the perfect poolside read!

I give this fun book five stars!
