99 days by Katie Cotugno

Synopsis: 

"Molly Barlow is facing one long, hot summer—99 days—with the boy whose heart she broke and the boy she broke it for . . . his brother.

Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything—how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done.

Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”

Day 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me."

*WARNING SPOILER ALERT*

When I first saw this book at the store I thought It was those typical romantic novels, but after reading the synopsis I got really intrigued. The story is about a girl named Molly Barlow, Her mother was a writer and wrote about Molly's affair with her boyfriend's brother as an inspiration. Her boyfriend didn't knew that there was an affair going on until Molly's mom book got into the best sellers. What I really like about this book is the character development, Author Katie Cotugno did really well in developing not only Molly's character but also everyone in the book. The down side of this is the story itself, Molly keeps on hurting everyone around her and even if she knows that she is hurting people she keeps on doing it. Somehow she is self-centered, she wants Patrick and Gabe to herself even if she won't admit it. I'm really not a fan of cheating and hurting people but hey this story is pretty good I give it a 7.5 out of 10! If you're into love stories and summer flings I suggest that you go read this book.
