1987 Southern California...13 year old Ava is looking forward to summer surfing and spending time with her best friend Phoenix. Her mother, who is a doctor, tells her she has to come volunteer at the hospital where she works, which Ava doesn't love, she has extra practice for her solo part in the 4th of July celebration, she ends up breaking her leg so surfing is out and Phoenix's lymphoma comes back. The summer does not shape up like she wanted, but it is a realistic portrayal of life.
Written in verse with a mix tape selection at the end, I LOVED this book.
