Oh, this was a lot of sweet YA romance fun. At a pivotal age for makign decisions about the future, a big choice of where to spend the summer can be followed along both options (ala Sliding Doors, or a way less melancholy and less sci-fi My Real Children) to two different, sweet romances. Both summers/romantic options/outcomes were so excellent I couldn't choose between them; in my mind the big decision of where to go for the summer sprang up alternate universes, Doctor Who style, so both can continue indefinitely in alternate timelines.
It just didn't work in audio form. The changing scenes just were confusing, and the narrator didn't fit the work. Might work in book form better.
