“Hi Brooke! I'm going snorkeling with Ryan today, wanna come? I know what you're going to say, but he's just a friend, I swear! So when you finally get out of bed, come find me at the spa getting another massage.

xo”

The perfect summer story of a girl, several boys, and a cruise ship full of possibilities.

Lindsay has never been on a cruise, but she knows exactly what she wants to do now that she is: climb a waterfall, snorkel, meet lots of cute guys, and look for one perfect guy for a summer fling.

But her to–do list isn't going according to plan, especially when she discovers that it's impossible to have a fling–when you're actually falling in love.

Fun and romantic, this book has all a perfect summer read needs. Although the characters were well portrayed, what really really got me were the landscapes; those amazing places described made me want to pack all my things and go on a cruise to the Caribbean right away. And indeed, when I finished reading the book, I started looking for cruises^^

She’s got this little trauma about being virgin and she just wants to get rid of it by sleeping with a boy during her summer before starting college. For that, she tries to change her shy personality and starts looking for Mister Right to have a summer fling. So she gets upset when she discovers his stepfather has invited to join them in the cruise a boy, Ryan, so he can be her baby-sitter.

You will also find funny moments as you see how Lindsay (kind of) conquests develop. Romance, friendship, fun, parties and wonderful summer paradises, all in this book. Go check it out. Perfect for a summer reading.

Silvia?? Who’s Silvia!?

I don’t expect you to remember me, but for those who do remember me and wonder what kind of monster has kept me from blogging I will give you one name: “School”. Yeah, I know it is no excuse, but it is said that the Spanish high school senior years is one of the most difficult and I can swear it is true. I don’t know how it goes where you live but here students say that getting an university degree is far easier than getting the bachelor one. All school stuff plus some family issues have gotten me crazy!

Luckily it is all over now and I can freely return to my beloved blog. Also I’m happy because yesterday I got an official confirmation from the university I applied for saying I was admitted. It wasn’t my first university choice though if not the second choice, but I’m happy. So, my dear readers, I’m her for good and I’ll make up for all this time I’ve been offline.

Also I’ve been changing the layout because I wanted to give it a summer feeling. I still have to change the top image though. And instead of three columns there are four now so I don’t know if in others screens you can see it correctly (because mine is really big so I can see it all perfectly in place). If not tell me.

Thanks always for your support^^
