Synopsis
I'm a girl. I met a boy. Why can't it stay that simple? Here, in this town, summer doesn't just mean tiny bikinis and sunglasses, white toothed grins and lounging at the beach. It means pain. And loss. And false promises. It means liars pretending to be saints, friends pretending to be enemies, rivals pretending to be lovers. For me, it means being crushed. The Crush, actually. The one they all want simply because they were told to. It means being surrounded by beautiful faces and gorgeous bodies, sweet words and sizzling kisses. It means being wanted and despised. My name is Chloe Summer, and I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, this summer could be my last.

Excerpt and/or Review
This is nothing like anything I have ever read before. LITERALLY!  The plot was pretty crazy to me at first. I was like "Ummmmmm Okay!?" BUT I will say it honestly wasn't that bad. It's a really good weekend read.

Chloe is your average 16 year old girl who just wants to have an exciting summer. However, this summer she doesn't want to participate in "The Assignment." While at the beach with her bestie she almost drowns, but is rescued by an emo guy named Casper. From the very beginning they had an attraction and some sparks. Their relationship is adorable. I won't go much into the plot just because I don't want spoil anything.

There is quite of bit of suspense and some things that will leave you guessing. I think that's what got me, I wanted to know what was going to happen next so I found myself constantly turning the pages. I loved the main characters as well as the supporting ones.

Casper is the pale emo kid with tons of tattoos and piercings. He's sweet and kind and would do anything for his sister. I loved that!!!! It reminded me of my brother (not appearance) and how he would do anything to protect me. He's never had to get in a fight for me though.

Chloe...I'm still debating how I feel about her. I don't like how she jumped from one guy to the other like she was changing her underwear, but I think I was more mad at the fact she wouldn't just stick with Casper. She had a great connection with him and everything felt comfortable when with him. I mean heck she stayed up all night talking with him, that's got to mean something.

Julie. Sweet and strong Julie. She is Casper's little sister and she just so happens to be terminally ill. I hated what she had to go through, but loved how she kept her head up regardless. Even with people beating her up, she never let her head fall.

I hope you pick up this book and read it for yourself.

I rate this a 3.8 out of 5 stars.

C.M. Stunich was raised under a cover of fog in the area known simply as Eureka, CA. A mysterious place, this strange, arboreal land nursed Caitlin's (yes, that's her name!) desire to write strange fiction novels about wicked monsters, magical trains, and Nemean Lions (Google it!). She currently enjoys drag queens, having too many cats, and tribal bellydance. Always a fan of the indie scene and 'sticking it to the man,' Ms. Stunich decided to take the road less traveled and forgo the traditional publishing route. You can be assured though that she received several rejections as to ensure her proper place in the world of writers before taking up a friend's offer to start a publishing company. Sarian Royal was born, and Ms. Stunich's books slowly transformed from mere baking chocolate to full blown tortes with hand sculpted fondant flowers. C.M. is a writer obsessed with delivering the very best and scours her mind on a regular basis to select the most unusual stories for the outside world. Ms. Stunich can be reached via e-mail or by post and loves to hear from her readers. Ms. Stunich also wrote this biography and has no idea why she decided to refer to herself in the third person.
