The boys of summer

C. J. Duggan

"Quiet, seventeen-year-old Tess doesn't relish the thought of a Summer time job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before dreaded Year Twelve begins. To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fire works at the Onslow show, and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets. How did she let her friends talk her into working? After first shift disasters, rude wealthy tourists, and a taunting ex boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come from working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed The Onslow Boys<U+2019>, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer, and not worry about curfews. Tess's summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love, and heartbreaking chaos. All with the one boy she has never been able to forget. It will be a summer she will always remember
