During the summer before senior year, a love triangle threatens to tear two cousins apart, in this novel by the author of Faking Perfect . . .

After a disastrous, reputation-destroying party at the end of junior year, Kat Henley has a new plan. When it comes to boys—especially other people's boys:

Don't touch.
Don't smile.
Don't charm.

In the past, drawing attention to herself helped distract people from what really makes Kat different—having two gay parents. But it's also cost her friendships. Kat can't afford to lose any more of those, especially not her cousin, Harper. They're spending one last summer together at the lake, where they run into an intriguing newcomer named Emmett Reese. After years of trying to prove she's just like everybody else, Kat has found someone who wants her because she's not. A boy who could be everything she wants, too—if Harper hadn't liked him first . . .

"Phillips will soon be a must-read YA writer for those who love romance and drama." —School Library Journal

      Gr 9 Up-Operation Best Summer is under way for Kat Henley. After a bitter ending to her junior year due to not being able to keep her hands off her best friend's boyfriend, Kat is eager to get away to her parents' summer cottage. She decides she needs to undergo some changes and tries to redeem her past behavior by setting up her cousin Harper with the new neighbor, Emmett. The plot resembles Jane Austen's Emma with diverse families and contemporary issues. Underlying the romantic drama are various family dynamics, which help build character complexity. The novel has a slow beginning, taking a while to build steam and interest. Drinking and sexual situations make this appropriate for mature teens. VERDICT Readers who push past the leisurely start will find a light, romantic tale with intriguing characters-just enough to persuade readers to see how Kat's summer ends.-Briana Moore, School Library Journal
