Her best friends are pulling away from her, and her parents, newly separated, have decided she should spend the summer with her dad in his new house, with a job she didn't ask for and certainly doesn't want. On the upside is a cute boy who loves dogs as much as Marley does . . . but young love has lots of opportunity for humiliation and misinterpreted signals. Luckily Marley is a girl who trusts her instincts and knows the truth when she sees it, making her an immensely appealing character and her story funny, heartfelt, and emotionally true.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith her friendships, family, and first crush all hanging in the balance, can one summer change everything?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChanging Friendships: \u003c\/b\u003e Marley's two best friends are suddenly more interested in drama camp and new people, leaving her to navigate the summer feeling utterly alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Complicated Family: \u003c\/b\u003e Forced to live in her dad's new house after her parents separate, Marley feels like her entire world is about to pop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Sweet Summer Romance: \u003c\/b\u003e The one bright spot is Jack, the cute boy next door who loves dogs as much as she does.
