Twenty Boy Summer/Sarah Ockler/290 pages

Anna and Frankie (short for Francesca) are best friends headed for a family vacation to California with Frankie's parents. This is the family's first time back to the annual vacation spot after a tragedy, and Anna's first vacation ever. The girls, mostly Frankie, decide to try to meet 20 boys on vacation to increase Anna's chance at a summer romance.

Lots of teenaged angst and hormones running wild. Ockler really remembers those teen emotions and puts them on paper well. It's well written and probably not that racy to the teen reader, although as a parent, it did make me wince a few times. I read this book because a small town in Missouri was trying to get it banned. Shame on them.
