Review
Three college freshman arrive in New York City for the summer prior to the start of school. The story is told from the point of view of each girl. All three characters come from varying backgrounds and experiences, and all three quickly find boys to fall in love with.
I am usually a fan of Susane Colsanti's work, but this book was lacking. Colasanti creates interesting characters, but this book is slow to develop a plot until the final three chapters, at which point you are left with a cliff hanger and need to read the next book to know how the issues are resolved. This story had potential, but the drawn out development of the story line and the cliff hangers for all three characters provided no resolution and made the overall book a disappointment.
Overall Book Score: fair
