About the book
You’d think Polly Martin would have all the answers when it comes to love—after all, her grandmother is the famous syndicated advice columnist Miss Swoon. But after a junior year full of dating disasters, Polly has sworn off boys. This summer, she’s going to focus on herself for once. So Polly is happy when she finds out Grandma is moving in—think of all the great advice she’ll get.
But Miss Swoon turns out to be a man-crazy sexagenarian! How can Polly stop herself from falling for Xander Cooper, the suddenly-hot skateboarder who keeps showing up while she’s working at Wild Waves water park, when Grandma is picking up guys at the bookstore and flirting with the dishwasher repairman?
No advice column can prepare Polly for what happens when she goes on a group camping trip with three too many ex-boyfriends and the tempting Xander. Polly is forced to face her feelings and figure out if she can be in love—and still be herself.
What happens when the summer you’ve sworn off boys becomes the summer you can’t stop thinking about one?
- Romantic Comedy: Polly wants dating advice from her famous columnist grandma. She gets a man-crazy roommate who flirts with the repairman instead.
- Summer Romance: He’s the suddenly-hot skateboarder from her childhood. She’s the lifeguard trying to ignore him. The water park isn’t the only place sparks are flying.
- Coming of Age: After a year of dating disasters, Polly has to figure out if she can fall in love without losing herself in the process.
- Ex-Boyfriend Drama: A chaotic group camping trip with three too many ex-boyfriends puts Polly’s resolve—and her feelings for Xander—to the ultimate test.
