Publisher Description
In Broken Hearts, Fences and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn, Gemma had her summer all planned out, but it takes sharp turn when she gets dumped and finds herself back in the Hamptons after a five-year absence.
Being there puts her at risk of bumping into Hallie, her former best friend (that is, before Gemma ruined her life). But people don't hold grudges forever. Do they?
Gemma intends on making amends, but a small case of mistaken identity causes the people she knew years ago—including Hallie and her dreamy brother Josh—to believe she's someone else. As though the summer wasn't complicated enough already.
Can Gemma keep up the charade? Or will she be found out by the very people she's been hiding from?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sixteen-year-old Gemma Tucker's summer plans are upended after her longtime boyfriend dumps her; now she's off to the Hamptons to live with her screenwriter father, and she isn't happy about it. When Gemma meets a cute boy named Josh on the train, things start looking up, until she realizes his sister is Hallie Bridges. Gemma betrayed the Bridges five years earlier with disastrous repercussions for both families. Before Gemma can think otherwise, she lets the siblings believe she's someone else, hoping to make amends and sure that Hallie doesn't recognize her. Hallie knows more than Gemma thinks, however, and she tries to settle the score as Gemma starts dating Josh. Finn (who also writes for teens as Morgan Matson) presents a mostly lighthearted and playful story of mistaken identity and revenge. There's a good amount of physical humor (primarily at Gemma's expense), and what generally reads as a romantic comedy takes a dark turn as it sets up the next installment in this series. Ages 13 up.
