Description
Molly Barlow is facing one long, hot summer—99 days—with the boy whose heart she broke and the boy she broke it for . . . his brother.
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that's how I know everyone still remembers everything. She has every right to hate me, of course: I broke Patrick Donnelly's heart the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. Now I'm serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college and be done.
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn't finished. I'm expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it's just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. "For what it's worth, Molly Barlow," he says, "I'm really glad you're back."
Day 12: Gabe wouldn't quit till he got me to come to this party, and I'm surprised to find I'm actually having fun. I think he's about to kiss me—and that's when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who's supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who's never going to forgive me.

2.5 99 days = 99 chapters Generally a good idea but with "only" 384 pages, it means that many chapters are very short, sometimes only a few sentences. Every chapter contains only a short event of the day. My problem with that was that everything felt kind of distant and I had the feeling I was missing things out. It made it difficult to understand certain scenes as well as the characters. I couldn't build up a connection with any of the characters, especially Molly was hard to understand. Why on earth is she messing around with each of the brother at the same time even though she know she made a huge mistake before. I just didn't get it. The ending was unsatisfying for my taste even though another ending wouldn't have made sense.
