I feel like I could write a recommendation every day for a different Elizabeth Scott novel. She is that prolific and that good. Scott is the author of six young adult novels and has three more coming out next year. Her output is a tremendous feat, because her books are wonderful, including the recent ”Stealing Heaven.”

It’s the story of reluctant 18-year-old thief Dani, who’s been trained by her mom from a very early age for a life of crime. Dani’s had enough silver for a lifetime though and doesn’t want to spend any more time pretending to be a maid, or breaking in through a dog door, or plotting how to nick the silver in the fancy house down the street. But her mom can’t resist. Silver is a siren song to her, so she continues to live a life on the road, taking Dani from town to town, never settling down, always plotting where to steal. Then they land in the beach town of Heaven for a few weeks, where Dani makes friends for the first time and also meets a guy.

Ah, but the path to young love is never easy. Because guess what? He’s a man in blue. Talk about conflict — the thief falls for the cop.

Read this book!!!

Quinn makes it clear early on in LOVESTRUCK SUMMER that she’s a hipster who likes her music indie and her boys even more so. Which means she also doesn’t like country, doesn’t like sororities and definitely, absolultey, no-way-possible likes Russ, the big-belt-wearing Texas boy who lives next door and might just about be the hottest teenage cowboy anyone’s seen. Of course, Quinn has a hard time admitting he’s the one for her since she’s fixated on the waiter-hating, too-cool-for-school indie DJ Sebastian. Can this girl see what’s in front of her and which boy is actually delivering on everything she want? That is, someone who shares new music, makes her mixes and thinks she’s pretty fabulous. It’ll come as no surprise the boy who’s best for Quinn is Russ, but Quinn’s going to need to ditch her indie-er-than-thou attitude and make some room in her heart for both the cowboy and a better, sweeter version of herself. Melissa Walker’s LOVESTRUCK SUMMER is a heartfelt summer read you’ll gobble up in a night or two.

After reading Sarah Ockler’s “Twenty Boy Summer,” I feel like I’m 16 again, sunning on the beach, about to embark on an epic summer romance. OK, I’m definitely not 16, not even close, but my point is Ockler’s writing is so transportive I dare anyone to read her debut novel and not think they’re on a beach. I could literally smell coconut oil and pineapple shakes and salty sea air while reading. Summer and its attendant romances are infused in every single page of this simultaneously heartbreaking and joyful book about Anna and the secret she keeps from her best friend — Anna and her friend’s brother Matt were falling in love right before Matt died in a car accident. Fast forward a year later when the two girls arrive in Zanzibar Bay, Calif. for a summer vacation far away from upstate New York. They go in search of boys and summer lovin’  – hence the twenty boys in the title - but stop far short of that goal when Anna meets someone who takes her mind off Matt and what might have been. Whether the secret finally does come out, well, I’ll let you read and discover that for yourself. Along the way you’ll be treated to some lovely metaphors as Ockler likens the ocean at night to “licorice soup” and a lost notebook to a “banished mermaid.”
