My Review:
Ace and her family spend the summer in Cherokee, North
Carolina. Ace’s father works at the casino. Things between Ace and her family
are not good with all the secrets. Each of her parents have secrets they are
hiding from each other but Ace knows both of their secrets. Ace is torn between
the two but loves both of her parents and doesn’t want to hurt either one of
them so she keeps quiet not knowing what else to do.
Ace meets a nice young man John who lives on the reservation
with his family. Ace and John have problems with both of their families
supporting their relationship. Ace’s mother wants her to date her friend’s son,
Cameron but Ace doesn’t like him because he is too controlling. Ace keeps quiet
about the way Cameron treats her thinking that she can handle it on her own. John
has a few secrets of his own in his family.
Just as summer was drawing to an end John receives a text
from Ace and then she disappears. John is frantic with worry over Ace so he enlists
the help of his best friend Simon, his twin sister Rae to help him look for her.
The police have also been brought into the picture. John has been put under suspicion
by Ace’s family they think that John had something to do with her
disappearance.
John and Ace can’t catch a break from his family, her family
or Cameron and now she has disappeared and everyone is pointing a finger at
John. What happened to Ace? Where is Ace? Will John find Ace before it is too
late? Will Ace and John’s family ever allowed them or give their blessing for
them to love one another?
I loved how Ace and John handle certain situations most of
the time they were more mature and acted more adult like than their parents.
They were always thinking of someone else’s’ feelings before their own. They
put others before themselves where and when it matter. While most of the adults
only thought about themselves at times.
Cherokee Summer is filled action from the start that kept me
hooked. I could really feel for Ace because I could relate to her in lots of
ways by sort of knowing how she felt and experiencing some of the things she
did but with a few difference of course. The characters were all amazing and
had me feeling what they felt. There were times I would just choke up and times
where I would laugh out loud. The author has a way with words that makes the
story jump right off the page and make you feel as if you have entered into the
characters world.
If you are looking for a nice clean sweet read then look no
further because Cherokee Summer is that book. I highly recommend Cherokee
Summer.
