This summer comes with a side of death. As Cicis's first summer back to the lake cabin in 2 years she comes back to a surprise.

This book is about the death of a high school girl who got killed at what seemed to be a peaceful lake community. The conflict in the book is why someone would kill Zoey, and frame it on someone innocent. That is what Cici’s here to find out.

This book gives you a perspective of how Cici's summer trip to the lake is going. Although there are multiple feelings and emotions in this book she genuinely liked that summer even tho she got shot at and could have almost died twice that summer she still likes the thought of going there. After everything that happened that summer will always be the same as when she was a kid.

This book is full of emotions and feelings that people can relate to because Cici’s always having to feel whether that's liking Jack as her crush, being scared from gunshots, or even getting random stomach aches from discussing things that are unpleasant like death of Zoey and the thought of it being her crushes older brother. Although Cici didn't like Zoey because she needed attention from boys all the time, it got annoying. Never to the point where she thought she would get killed tho from being too annoying. Hence why she never would think Brody, Jack's older brother, would kill her even if she was trying to flirt with Brody most of the time.

I think the theme of the book Is to not say it's not always the first person you suspect of wrongdoing. The book shows the theme by instead of Trafton being caught for Zoey's murder Brody was found guilty because his footprints in the sand were the only clue they found. About a year later Cici found the true criminal being Trafton and blackmailing the judge at the same time. ( )

Full of twists an entertaining read. ( )

Fourteen-year-old Cici hopes for a romantic summer at the beach but instead finds herself trying to solve a murder which had occurred there the previous year.
