Goodreads summary
Day 1: Julia Donnelly eggs my house my first night back in Star Lake, and that’s how I know everyone still remembers everything—how I destroyed my relationship with Patrick the night everything happened with his brother, Gabe. How I wrecked their whole family. Now I’m serving out my summer like a jail sentence: Just ninety-nine days till I can leave for college, and be done.
Day 4: A nasty note on my windshield makes it clear Julia isn’t finished. I’m expecting a fight when someone taps me on the shoulder, but it’s just Gabe, home from college and actually happy to see me. “For what it’s worth, Molly Barlow,” he says, “I’m really glad you’re back.”
Day 12: Gabe got me to come to this party, and I’m actually having fun. I think he’s about to kiss me—and that’s when I see Patrick. My Patrick, who’s supposed to be clear across the country. My Patrick, who’s never going to forgive me.
Teen Review
99 Days, by Katie Cotugno is a roller coaster ride. An epic one at that. This romance novel had me hooked from the first chapter, not only in its story but in its brilliant writing as well. Katie Cotugno didn’t once fail to intrigue throughout this entire novel. I was constantly on edge, trying to keep up.
This story is difficult to compare to any other. There are many novels that portray a young couple falling in love, but this one is the only one that perfectly portrays the exhilarating highs and the stomach-dipping lows of falling in love.
I was excited to read this book as soon as I had picked it up. I had read the synopsis and thoroughly looked over the cover, however, I discovered that the synopsis (though intriguing) did not do the book justice. This romance novel allowed me to feel like I was right beside the main character. I was given a front row seat as she cycled through all of the obstacles that her journey held for her, watching closely as she made the decisions I had been eagerly anticipating.
This truly brilliant romance novel lets us witness the beautiful, ambitious roller coaster ride, that we call love.
