WONDERFUL!:
Carly is definately going to have a non-stop summer this year. With her job as a camp counselour, her sister home from college her freshmen year - pregnant with a baby, and her gorgous best friend Heather who keeps snagging all of her guys, Carly's really in for it! Then Carlys spots Luke, a dreamy muscle man that would turn any girl's head. But what about Heather? The minute she finds out Carly is interested in someone beside the guy that she just took she'll be hopping right over and throw a smile right in Luke's face and Carly's dreams of romance with muscle man are history. So here's Carly's plan: If she could just find a guy that she could pretend to be in love with then Heather could be obsessing about him while Carly secretly dates Luke. And who else could play the part except forJack Ryder who is irresistibley cute and funny and always has girls kissing the ground he walks on - a perfect match for Heather. Her plan is working out perfectly except for Carly. Turns out Luke is a self-centered, boring, jerk and Carly can't stop thinking about Jack. She can't stand the sight of Heather and him together and pretty soon she finds herself down right in love with him. And she has a feeling Jack just might have a thing for her too. Will this cute couple get together? This is just another example of another Elizabeth Chandler novels that will keep your heart racing. I would be throughally surprised if you didn't like this book 100%!

Not Your Run-of-the-Mill Teenage Novel:
One thing that struck me about "Hot Summer Nights" is that it's not the typical light and frothy young adult romance novel. Aside from the romance, it deals with teenage pregnancy and holding on to worn-out relationships and wraps everything into a witty and bittersweet package. The heroine, Carly McFarlane, is definitely a person of substance with her own set of insecurities and a lot of teenagers can relate to her. This is one of the few stories that really stuck with me after all these years, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes young adult novels.

Great:
I loved this book. I fell in love with the characters. Carly is so funny. What she does is so down to earth and real life- (she reminds me of one of my friends). And I find myself smiling with Jack a lot of the time. In addition to being a really good BOOK, it is also a great romance! Check it out- fuh real.

GREAT BOOK!:
I have read most of the love story books....and I find that my two favourites are Hot summer Nights and At first sight by elizabeth chandler. Hot summer nights in particular is easy to read..enjoyable and above all interesting to read. It's not one of those books where you read the first chapter and put the book down. When you read the book you want to read it to the end! I think this book is a great success...and Elizabeth chandler should be commended for her books...not only this one, but all the books she has written.
