Eric: Loves surfing, has killer abs, an even better smile, and a heart of gold.
Joe: A sarcastic goofball who gives great advice, which no one ever takes.
Zach: Sophisticated college boy, wise in the ways of French painting as well as other French things.
A California girl like Cassidy Jones should be out on the beach, not stuck in summer school! But her life heats up when she meets the worldly and romantic Zach – she can't stop thinking about him, even though she already has a boyfriend. Cassidy wishes her pal Joe were around to help her figure out the secrets of boys, but he's hundreds of miles away. Will she be able to ignore her feelings for Zach – or will temptation be too strong to resist?
Awful! The Secrets of Boys was completely awful. The story was stupid and forgettable, and I still can’t believe some of the things Cassidy did. Her summer is supposed to be about change and with change is knowledge. But Cassidy doesn’t act like she learned anything. I mean, even when she was sad and everything collapsed, she just asked “Why did I do it?”, she never said she would never do it again, she never said she learned something.
Even when Cassidy was doing a lot of new things Secrets of Boys never felt exciting or eventful. This story felt like a teenage girl was writing it, it felt amateur-ish, and just plain wrong. It was more a girls fantasy then fiction, but in a bad way. The story didn’t clique and it just wasn’t good.
My favorite part of the book was when I finished it!
