Adrienne, Cee Cee, Jill and Wallis are all enrolled in AP English for the upcoming school year, but that's about all the girls have in common. Adrienne and Cee Cee each had more exciting plans for the summer, but an injury changed Adrienne's plans and an ill-advised and unlicensed car ride ended Cee Cee's summer fun. Adrienne's mom comes up with an idea for a Mother/Daughter book club built around the summer reading list, and Cee Cee and Jill's moms jump on board. Wallis somehow latches onto the group without ever producing her mom. The girls don't actually become friends, but they do learn more about each other. The story is told from Adrienne's point of view, and she becomes a little more adventuresome.
We learn more about Adrienne because it's her version of the story, but I wish we were given more information about the other girls especially Wallis. She seems to have the most interesting story, but we learn next to nothing about her. Mostly, we have to guess. I'd give it a 3 out of 5 if we were rating books.
