Setting: contemporary summer at UNH
First line/s: "It starts when Jed makes the final turn off I-405."
My comments: Very interesting concept, full immersion for eight weeks during the summer before her senior year the in the French language at a university in New Hampshire. The story follows typical YA romance structure/format - girl meets boy, girl doesn't like boy, girl starts to like boy...very much....then there's a misunderstanding, girl and boy part, girl and boy make up. It was very entertaining and I like the twists and turns. I adore the protagonist and I think most YA girls who love romance would greatly enjoy this story.
Goodreads synopsis: Seventeen-year old Abby has only one goal for her summer: to make sure she is fluent in French—well, that, and to get as far away from baseball and her Cubs-obsessed family as possible. A summer of culture and language, with no sports in sight.
That turns out to be impossible, though, because her French partner is the exact kind of boy she was hoping to avoid. Eight weeks. 120 hours of class. 80 hours of conversation practice with someone who seems to exclusively wear baseball caps and jerseys.
But Zeke in French is a different person than Zeke in English. And Abby can’t help but fall for him, hard. As Abby begins to suspect that Zeke is hiding something, she has to decide if bridging the gap between the distance between who she is and who he is, is worth the risk.
