The Summer I Found You

Two broken teens, one who has just been diagnosed with diabetes and sees it as a life sentence and the other who has just returned from Afghanistan with one arm, discover each other in this summer read. Kate has just been dumped weeks before graduation and refuses to take her diabetes seriously, even though her behavior lands her in the hospital more than once. Aidan wanted a career in the military, but the IED that killed his sergeant also effectively ended the career he has always wanted. Told in alternating voices, this story shows how Kate and Aidan deal with the fallout from what has happened to them and their growing relationship.  It is hard to have as much sympathy for Kate and her choices as it for Aidan, and everything is tied up a little too neatly by the end. The fact that the two have sex so quickly seemed unnecessary. Definitely summer reading.
