Brandon's life seems pretty normal to everyone. But that's just on the outside, as he has to cope with his abusive father, who's also an alcoholic, and has to pay off his car although a friend crashed it. Working in a record shop as one of his two summer jobs, he meets Marvel and perhaps life isn't so bad after all. But when a teenage boy is found murdered in the sleepy town of Appleton the summer will turn even more remarkable. When I started reading I couldn't figure out the main character's gender. I never read the blurb before starting a novel and it has a first person POV, so I didn't have any clues. The writing, at least at the beginning didn't help me either. But then of course I figured out it's a boy. It reminded me a bit of the film 500 days of Summer, but to be honest I don't remember enough about that movie to be able to tell whether the resemblance ends with the name of the girls in the title. The story is quite slow at times, but I didn't mind it. There were some moments though where I was thinking 'Just tell it!', because they were hinting a lot but it then took them a long time to actually tell what they wanted to say. The ending was very open, but for me this isn't the kind of novel that needs a sequel. As Brandon said, he felt Marvel was a summer girl (not necessarily a girl for just one summer, he just didn't know how she would move to the autumn) and that's what we get. One summer with Marvel. One little nice extra: This book features a record shop so at the end of the novel there's a playlist with music you probably should listen to while reading the book. Only, as I read the e-book, I only noticed it when I finished reading. (  ) Floratina | May 26, 2016 | ) UANBookAddict | Dec 3, 2015 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Brandon Jeffery’s summer started out with a bang—as in, a friend crashed his car and now he has to work two jobs to pay it off. It’s at Fascination Street Records that he’s introduced to a beautiful but quiet girl named Marvel. She’s new to Hidden Cove and looking for a summer job, so Brandon secretly strikes a deal with their boss to work for free so she can be hired.When a classmate is found murdered, however, their summer takes a turn for the mysterious. Brandon’s friend Devon is sure he knows just who’s to blame: the creepy recluse of the town quarry. But the police have few leads, and Brandon has the sneaking suspicion he’s being watched.That’s not what’s in the forefront of on his mind, though. More than trying to pay off his car to his unemployed, alcoholic father and protecting Seth Belcher from the school bullies, he’s determined to date Marvel. He doesn’t understand why they seem so close and she refuses to date him, but as the mystery behind her tragic past begins to unravel, Marvel finally confesses her reason: God has revealed she’s destined to die saving others—and it’s going to be soon.
