this book was not the type of book for me!..if you enjoy books such as gossip girls, clique novels,crank, and the very detailed girly scenes and novels i definitly wouldnt reccoment this book. She plays lacrosse and helps with camps and its mostly about all sports. I love sports and play basketball and volley and track and softball on select teams and i still didnt enjoy this book as much as i expected to.
 A Great Surprise You Should Read!! July 30, 2007
Oh My Gosh! I have already read this book twice and am still surprised in how it developed. The first time I stayed up untill 2:00 a.m. and couldn't put it down.If you don't read it you are missing out on one of the great pleasures of life!!

SUMMER IN THE CITY is a novel based around sports, boys, and romance in the big city of Baltimore, Maryland, where Jamie is going to attend college in the fall. I didn't know if I was going to like this book at first, but I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised! I'm not a big sports fan, but this book had enough romance in it to keep me interested!
Jamie's parents divorced a long time ago and she lives with her dad. She and her father are very close because Jamie is really into sports and her dad is a football coach. She is the kind of girl that all the guys like hanging out with but not going out with. Her dad wants to take her and her school counselor (his girlfriend) up to their cabin for a summer of camping -- but that doesn't sound so appealing anymore. So instead Jamie goes to spend the summer with her mom, who is an ex-middle school teacher who became a romance writer.
Jamie's dad finds a lacrosse camp to enroll her in to give her something to do while she is there. She ends up getting a job helping run a basketball camp for underprivileged children. She loves basketball and the kids so she has a lot of fun!
You have to read the book to find out all of Jamie's romantic adventures in the city!

When I bought this book, I was hoping for a good teenage romance novel; one that would have me laughing, crying, and wishing I was the main character. "Summer in the City" did not disappoint! I was captivated from the start. Jamie was intriguing, as were the other main characters of the book. I fell in love with Jamie, Mona, Ted and Josh, hated Andrew, and felt the kisses between Jamie and Josh.
This book was everything I wanted and more. I read it in only one day, it was that amazing. :)
 a good one January 30, 2007

what appealed to me most about the book is the sports factor. So if you love sports, this book is right on. that's especially what makes it different from most teen-romance novels. which is also a good point.
