Lädt ... TJ's Last Summer in Cape Codvon Garfield Whyte
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  taradurham | Nov 14, 2016 |   The fun doesn't stop there. For a couple of weeks, the guys keep adding fun to their schedule. TJ learns what a real man is like and sort of sees a new light. I love the book because of the transformation of TJ, or is there? The whole book is kind of light, fun, summertime reading and involves a few girls. It is also a great lesson teacher, in a roundabout way. I love TJ's bond with his uncle Peter. I can relate as my sister, aunt Bonnie, has that relationship with my own daughter (who just finished college). Thank you to Garfield Whyte and to Word Slinger for giving me a free book to read and give my honest review. (  ) Connie57103 | Aug 18, 2016 | Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Reviewed By Chris Fischer for Readers' Favorite (5 star)In a great new book from author Garfield Whyte, TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod: Don't Cry For Me Cape Cod is a story that will leave readers wanting more. Follow the story of eighteen-year-old TJ (Taj James) as he makes a promise that his last summer on Cape Cod will certainly be a memorable one. TJ enlists the help of his Uncle Peter, a man with not a little experience with women, on his quest. TJ learns a lot from Uncle Peter and is ready to use it, but needs to decide whether he wants to move away from being his typical good boy self in order to do it. What will TJ decide? And what will the end of the summer bring? You'll have to read the book to find out!I very much enjoyed TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod. Author Garfield Whyte has done a great job in creating memorable characters that his readers will continue to think about long after the last words are read. If that isn't a hallmark of a great author, I'm not sure what is. His descriptions of Cape Cod are vivid, and readers will feel as if they have simply slipped through the pages into the sunny seaside setting. Any reader looking for a book that might be able to return them to their youth, even for a little while, should definitely read this. I am pleased to recommend TJ's Last Summer in Cape Cod and look forward to reading more from author Garfield Whyte in the near future! Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

TJ has always looked forward to staying on breaks from school with his Uncle Peter. He knows that any time with his uncle-will be a good time! Uncle Peter has let TJ in on his many ummmm....adventures and TJ has become a master at getting his dear uncle out of trouble. Although his aunt and uncle are happily married-Uncle Peter isn't the most morally driven man.
The story takes place during the summer prior to TJ leaving for college. This is his last summer to live it up! Because of a girl, he decides he doesn't want to go to Peter's house so he convinces his uncle to come stay with him while his parents are away. There are no rules with Peter and he would do anything for TJ (possibly to protect his own secrets). Tragedy strikes leaving both Peter and TJ devastated. What began as a summer of fun, for both of them, turns life changing.
I didn't really appreciate this book until I got a good ways into it, which shows on how long it took me to read it-but something kept bringing me back. I wish I'd just stuck with it from the start. Uncle Peter drove me crazy on how he was influencing TJ. But in the end, this turns into a beautiful coming of age story. When you're young and invincible-you lose focus on what is real and important. This is a lesson that both TJ and Uncle Peter learn-thankfully not too late.
Thank you Garfield for the opportunity to read this!!! (
