    About this ebook

    There are two kinds of people on the island -- those who leave at summer's end...and those who are left behind.

    For seventeen-year-old Winnie, summer can't arrive fast enough -- anything to get out of the house and escape the cold war brewing between her parents. With her older sister, Shelby, spending the summer in Boston, Winnie's left to deal with the situation all by herself. Which is why she's happy to spend all day away from home at a cushy job -- camp counselor at the prestigious Oceanview Inn.

    And when the Barclays, a wealthy summer family, offer Winnie an additional babysitting job in the evenings after work, she jumps at the opportunity. Little Cassie Barclay is fun to take care of, and hanging out in the gorgeous Barclay summer house overlooking the harbor is far more pleasant than being on the front lines of the battle between her parents.

    Then Cassie's older and devastatingly attractive stepbrother Jay arrives on the island after a disastrous first year at college, and he seems to want nothing more than to wreak havoc for his stepmother and the rest of his family. Winnie soon discovers that life in the Barclay summer house isn't so perfect after all, and what was supposed to be a carefree summer escapade is quickly becoming more complicated than she ever thought possible....

      I honestly could not read past their first conversation. It’s so not believable. Couldn’t read it. Sorry.
    • 4/5
      Yes I am a 20 year old who likes to read trashy novels published by MTV publishing. Yes, most of them are terrible, but Jenny O'Connell at least has a creative thoughts. She is the only author in this certain gerne that I will read. Rich Boys from example is a very average story that has deffinately been told in some ways before. O'Connell though gives the story and the characters not only their own voice, but gives them depth and character. It's the reason why me the English major who has to read very classic of mankind can not only read, but appreciate this book is because it is creative, well thought out book. You will want to not stop reading until the end. Then google the rest of her books and read them too.
