I'd give Second Chance Summer 3.5 stars for its real and lovable characters. 
 It turned out to be quite a simple and known story but nicely done and written. 
 There are more characters but reminded me of the movie The Last Song, which I liked too. 
 And if we're sharing our deepest secrets: I just really love the cover and the lovely duo it displays on my shelf with its compagnion Amy and Roger's Epic detour. It's so pleasing on the eyes
