Summery:
This is the summer of first love. The summer of magic. The Summer of Me and You. Kaleb has loved Kayleigh ever since first grade, even if he's never admitted it to anyone. Not even himself. But this summer, that's about to change.
Kaleb's had a troubled past, and Kayleigh's life has always been perfect. He'd love nothing more than to be the guy who ruins it all, and make her fall for him against her mother's wishes.
Kayleigh is a complete nerd. She's got the glasses to prove it. She just knows that a guy like Kaleb would never really want to be with a girl like her. So she's going to avoid him at all costs.
But then why do they always end up hanging out together?
When a secret that both their parents kept from them comes out, it will define the true meaning of love. But when this summer ends, will Kaleb and Kayleigh have to say goodbye, or is this just the beginning of many more summers to come?

Kayleigh and Kaleb. Kaleb and Kayleigh. Has a ring to it. Kaleb has had a crush on Kayleigh since grade one, when she stole everyones blue crayons and gave it to him. Kayleigh likes Kaleb too, though she thinks that someone like Kaleb won't ever like a complete nerd like her. Misunderstandings, misunderstandings...asdfghjkl. At times, I really couldn't understand why they had to be so uncivil towards one another. They both know how one another felt about each other, yet they wouldn't take initiative and just tried to stay away from each other. What is this. I understand the reason why, but still.
Let's talk about characters, shall we? My favourite character in here was probably Kaleb's mom. She herself was like a teenager. My least favourite here is...Kayleigh's mom. We know her reasons, blah blah blah but she was still a biatch about it and was so mean. Seriously, she took too far sometimes. Finally, we get to the MCs. Kaleb has some "issues" which was sometimes a bit unpleasant. Especially when he and Kayleigh fought, it hurt to read. Of course they make up after though. Deep down, Kaleb is still a very caring and sweet person, and that's all I care about. I felt so bad about him for prom. Just ask the girl, son. I actually really like Kayleigh. With her Bud Holly glasses and all. She was strong and quick mouthed, which I am not. It sucks for her to have such a harsh mother. I loved it when her mom told her to not see the boy, she's grounded, yadda yadda and the next thing she does is go out and see him. GOOD FOR YOU.
I loved reading the parts where the went on their date and the ending part when they did all those things together. Sigh, it makes my heart cringe knowing that there will never be something like that in my life *sad face* Honestly, it was so cute. The carnivals, cotten candy, *-* The ending was just speechless, well it left me at that. I was just awwing the whole time. <3
Overall, I really did enjoy this book. There were its ups and downs, but hey in the end, we got our happy ending and I loved it.
4.5/5 stars
