    The Summer of Skinny Dipping Quotes
    It's like you're reading and everything is going fine and then WHAM! Why did that have to happen? Being around her cousins with their "perfect"
    appearances makes her feel bad about herself, but she tries desperately to push it aside and fit it. I was supposed to feel sad and uplifted at the
    end, instead I was wondering why this was published by Sourcebooks Fire. Simon is witty, hilarious and charming. Showing They only seemed to
    care about a few things, and really not much else. She is who she is. Something light and fluffy. You think you know everything that's happening
    around you. Something that could be my Morgan Matson book for this year. It's very realistic that she feels someway responsible for Simon's
    death.. Simon was splashing somewhere ahead of me. Probably one of the more important parts of the book and it was terrible. And there is a
    hopeful note at the end with Mia going back to the Hamptons And he's definitely not part of Corinne's "cool" crowd. Why did he think going
    swimming in a lightning storm was a good idea? But coming out of her shell could mean losing everything Mia has gained. I give this one 4 out of 5
    paws. Because the relationship I'd thought was real had never existed. It was devastating when Simon drowned She is no longer the carefree child
    who used to go swimming and play all day long with Mia, she is now the "sophisticated" and "privileged" child of one of the Hampton's elite. As
    Mia longs to forget about Jake and their relationship, she meets someone new. Except maybe one thing. But I thought I loved you! They'd
    probably hate me if I did. The main gist of the book is about Mia becoming comfortable with who she is and sticking up for herself when she feels
    pressure to blend in with her cousins. I was there for a moment. Against her judgement, Mia starts hanging around Simon I just was not in the
    mood for this and was not expecting what this book was. I felt numb, no happiness, no fulfillment like I usually have. I don't think I would've been
    able to finish this if I hadn't been buddy reading it, so thanks to Becca for making this bearable. Amanda had me enraptured by her writing I bought
    this book after seeing it on sale in the Nook section and I saw that it had a lot of good reviews so I decided to purchase it and give it a chance. It
    does a good job of showing how she changes parts of herself so that she isn't mocked and so she is accepted. If you read it, I hope you like it
    more than I did. Anyways, this whole entire book is basically about her finding herself and where she fits in with her cousin and best friend. The
    only things I did like about, that allow me to give it two stars is the fact that the main character likes to spout facts about everything, and I like that,
    because I myself do it all the time. Mia is game for the summer she hoped would be absolutely fantastic with her aunt and much-loved-and-Bff-
    sort-of cousin Corrine. Mia's parents argue a lot, but they really love each other a great deal. So a Summer of Skinny Dipping starts with these two
    and their budding romance. Horrible, smelly, life-sucking habit. Refresh and try again. It's more than sad. Very disappointed in this book. Not
    actually It's NOT just a book!! It syncs automatically with your account and allows you to read online or offline wherever you are. But Simon is
    much more than just Mia's love interest. Flag as inappropriate. But the here and now was up for grabs, and I wasn't about to let it slip away. The
    cover didn't show her as someone who needed to "suck in her tummy" as her mom suggests at one point.

    and was not expecting what this book was. I'm still sobbing. It doesn't make sense to me. I felt free. Refresh and try again. Amanda had me
    enraptured by her writing Talk about self-growth. I mean I shed a few tears. It breaks my heart to see such a character lead such a miserable life
    and yet once he finally decided on a plan to escape his dad.. As I continued and met Simon as a character, i'm ashamed to say at first I thought
    'creep' but as I continued I started to get his character more and more. In a riptide when they're out swimming at night. So a Summer of Skinny
    Dipping starts with these two and their budding romance. I really didn't expect him to be such an awesome character. I had a feeling this would be
    a light hearted, fun read. All the children of the Hamptons elite swill about with fancy clothes and vacant attitudes, and Mia feels completely out of
    place. It's not pretty to speak that way, and you need to behave well in front of your cousins, please. Seriously, start this book with about two
    weeks left in school and follow the very sound protagonist Mia Gordon as she struggles to understand her relationship to her cousin and best friend
    as it, and they, move from childhood into young adulthood, as she works out her feelings about herself, her body, her family, her fervent effort at
    shaping her own identity, and as she traces her experiences For anyone ages , "The Summer Of Skinny Dipping" is a perfect preface to their
    summer vacation. View all 13 comments. I cannot begin to explain how amazing Simon is as a character. NOOK Book. The only things I did like
    about, that allow me to give it two stars is the fact that the main character likes to spout facts about everything, and I like that, because I myself do
    it all the time. Like, everyone knows that's something you don't do. I was prepared for a really light and fun read Nothing really happens, but I'd
    rather be in Mia's head, than Beth's. But then they refocused and he smiled at me. Read an excerpt of this book! Dec 26, Tanja rated it it was
