I read the e- book Summertime Blues by B.R. Fleming and this is my review.
In the e- book Summertime Blues, we follow Peter a boy who has high hopes of making out with girls on his summer vacation getting through high school and trying to learn how parents and girls think. B.R. Fleming takes us on a journey with Peter as he goes through the age of self discovery, quest for independence, following his dreams, drinking and having to stumble through the ever challenging issue of liking girls and trying to understand them.
The e- book Summertime Blues starts off with Peter on his summer vacation and even though he is on vacation; he is all ready starts to think about high school and the classes he needs to take to become a Microbiologists. First, Peter wants to get through this summer and have the best one he ever had. Peter is faced with many challenge's during his summer vacations and B.R. Fleming writes in a way that the read feels like they are also experiencing ever challenge that Peter goes through.
One of Peter's challenges that he has to face is being the middle child. Peter finds himself in the unique, unwanted and hard position of any middle child. Trying to find his way in a family where both mother and father are working, an older brother going through high school and a younger brother who gets most of the attention. Peter strives to survive his family life that the average American family found themselves in the time period after the Great Depression and during the Vietnam War.
During the e-book, B.R. Fleming brings to light Peter's second challenge trying to make the most of every one of his families vacations. In the beginning of the e-book the reader starts the story with Peter who is looking forward to this summer vacation for he will be seeing his cousin Rhonda ; who he hopes to get a chance's to get to know her better and maybe make out with her.
Peter being at the awkward stage where hormones are racing and experience sensations that come upon and boy his ages when he is around girls. This is the third challenge B.R. Fleming expertly takes the read on this journey with Peter, as if the authors was pulling from his own teen age years. Like any boy Peter wonders what girls breast feeling like and what their vagina's feel like. It is during Peter's summer vacations that are in between his high school years that the author focus's most of the story.
B.R. Fleming takes the reader along with Peter on each summer vacation. The reader is drawn to feel and cheer for Peter as he hopes to coming closer to making out and getting answers to his questions. For Peter and all teen age boys the one obstacle that gets in the way of every teen age boy his age, and that is trying to understand what the girls around him are thinking and what they want from all boy's.
Peter's find himself dealing with his third challenge as his summers fly by fast and never turn out the way he hopes they would. Peter is once again caught as many teenagers find themselves in being . The situation of having so many things to do during the summer and not having the time to do all of them. For Peter it is trying to get drums and then wanting to play the drums in a band; to going on family vacations and trying to have a girlfriend. Peter finds himself wondering where the summer has gone each year when high school starts up again. Then Peter has to face going back to high school at the end of each summer, which hates for he is not able to take the classes he wants to take to become a Microbiologist, but instead Peter feels that he is following in his older brothers foot steps to end up working in business, which Peters forth challenge and one that causes him the most of his grieve at home.
The final challenge that the B.R. Fleming writes about is Peter having to deal with the hardest thing all teenagers face, first crush and first love. B.R. Fleming with his written styles makes the read feel what Peter feels throughout the book. From the awkwardness of not knowing what to say around girls, for Peter fears he might say something stupid. To how to act when he is on a date with girls who seem to know more about dating then he does. We experience his frustration of should he kiss a girl, feel her breast and what it is like to have sex with a girl? With all of the for mention we experience what it is like to date girls whose parents who do not like boy's around their daughter. So, the reader ends up on secret dates and harrowing escapes along with Peter.
Over all this e-book Summertime Blues for me, brought back some awkward moments of being a teenage boy in high school. Also the wish that girls who were teenagers when I was one, that they might have read this e-book so they would learn how hard it is for teen age boys to understand how they think and why they act the way they do sometimes. For this and the story of a boy's self discovery of where he fits in amongst his family, school and friends, I give the e-book Summer Blues four out of four stars.
