Summerland takes place on Nantucket beginning on graduation day. Four high school juniors—twins, Penny and Hobby; Jake, Penny’s boyfriend, and longtime friend Demeter—have been celebrating the graduation of their classmates. And yes, included in the celebration was underage drinking. As they leave the party, Penny is driving Jake’s jeep as she is the only one that has not been drinking, but never-the-less the four are involved in a single-car wreck leaving Penny dead and her brother seriously injured. The ultimate question is who said what to set Penny off and cause the wreck, and then to see how the three families cope with what has happened. This one kept me reading to find out the answer to who said what.
