A cruel summer is about a girl named Colby, her parent’s sent her way to Greece to stay with her crazy aunt. This was going to be a great summer for her, but she did not expect to be in Greece. When she got to Greece she didn’t know anyone. But then she met this guy Levi Bonham. She got really board when she was there so she decided to make a blog so she can keep in touch with her friends back at home. Colby had an interesting summer with her Aunt. But she really missed seeing her friends. This book was ok; it wasn’t one of my favorite books. It was kind of depressing to read.
