Summary: Two great reviews!
Comment: "The entertaining social angst of narrator Cathy provides lots of laughs, amid some real food for thought about the pitfalls of pretending about feelings, as Cathy sorts out her relationships with Dan and Steve. Her woes are humorously depicted, and particularly funny is the embarrassment suffered by Cathy at one of "the world's last" drive-in movies.
The humor is balanced with Ann Herrick's insight into the universal and realistic intensity of the characters' emotions."
Pat Engelking, District Librarian, Lowell School District, Lowell, Oregon

"Ms. Herrick captured angst, laughter, and the trials of teenage life...A sweet and funny book..."
Overall rating: 4 Hearts
Sara Sawyer, The Romance Studio
"Author Ann Herrick certainly knows her audience! The story line, characters, dialogue and even the setting will all appeal to the young adult reader... readers will connect with the summer romance plot... There are also some truly humorous moments... Cathy's eagerness and awkwardness leap off the pages to touch readers' hearts, or bring a grin or two.
Summer Replacement is a great book in any season!"
Joyce, Love Romances
"Summer Replacement is a great teen love story...lots of angst, lots of funny moments, some steamy kisses, and a great heroine. Ann Herrick does a wonderful job of portraying Cathy's teenage crush, making it seem very realistic.
...Summer Replacement is a sunny romance fit for the beach and will make you want to remember your own first crush."

"...Summer Replacement is a fun story about a teenage summer romance. I had my daughter read this story and tell me what she thought about it. She said that she really liked it and didn't want it to end. ...get a copy of it and enjoy."
Lydia Funneman, Writers Unlimited
"...The appealing and sympathetic characters struggle valiantly through misunderstandings and confusion, and I identified all too well with Cathy's anxiety as she tried to ascertain Dan's true feelings for her.
SUMMER REPLACEMENT captured the essence of the freedom and sweetness of teenage summer romances in an engaging and believable story."
Melinda Stanners, Romantic Interludes
"...With Summer Replacement Ann Herrick has produced a delightful tale ... The light romantic overtone, personable reality presented by Cathy as she muddles along...
Characters are well fleshed out .... Settings are described in enough detail to draw the reader into them. We hear the crash of the sea during storm, feel the grit of the sand...while reading the words presented by talented author Herrick.
Summer Replacement is a quick fun read certain to be read and reread...Cathy, as are most fifteen-year-olds, is a delight.
Summer Replacement will be a nice addition to the home and school library.
Enjoyed the read, happy to recommend."
Molly Martin, 20+ years classroom teacher
SUMMER REPLACEMENT is a sweet, fast-paced romance...Cathy is a believable bundle of contradictions-alternately brazen and shy, thoughtless and caring, smart and naive -- and as real a fifteen year old as any you'll find on the written page...I particularly liked how Ms. Herrick handled the very common problem of the girl being satisfied with kisses when the boy wants considerably more -- with sympathy and understanding for both parties and a good dose of humor.
...Ms. Herrick gives the reader many reasons to like Cathy, and some of the best come out during her interactions with the younger children.
...SUMMER REPLACEMENT is perfect -- a young adult romance with just the right balance of humor and heart. I highly recommend it.

I enjoyed reading this story; it took me back to a time when I was a teenage girl and how confusing that period was. It is funny how the things we see so clearly when we're older are so muddled then. The author provides a nice breezy summer read
