Customer comments on this selection.
 Really good
I did love this. Its a typical teen moveing story and of course it takes place in Cali but every story like this brings something different to the table so I recommend it because it really is a cute little story.
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Anne feels like she is being punished by her parents by being forced to move in with her dad. Her mom and dad are in the process of a divorce because Anne's mom has been cheating and is in love with her boyfriend. Anne is being pulled from the life that she loves; her amazing boyfriend, Justin, all of her friends, and her beloved diving team, which she was just crowned the captain of.
br /
br /Laguna Cove, where Anne's dad lives, is a rich neighborhood where the houses share a private beach. Her dad is never home because he is a big movie producer and she's in Laguna Cove for about a week before her dad even decides to come home.
br /
br /She is picked up at the airport by Jake, her dad's errand runner. He leaves her at the house to go surfing, which she quickly learns is the sport of choice in LC. Before Jake leaves, however, he introduces Anne to Chris, his best friend.
br /
br /Her first day of school is rough because she is way over-dressed and she doesn't know anyone. Except Chris.
br /
br /When he sees her before school, Chris calls her over to his group of friends, and introduces her to all of them. Everyone seems really nice, except for Ellie.
br /
br /Jade and Lola become her friends, and Chris her boyfriend, who even teaches her to surf. No matter how nice everyone is to Anne, though, Ellie is still really mean to her. And Anne has no idea why.
br /
br /Can Anne and Ellie ever be friends? And can Anne learn to surf well enough to compete in the Surf Fest competition?
br /
br /LAGUNA COVE is a super-easy, fast, fun read. All you need to enjoy summer is this book, a pool, and a cold drink!

 Awful
I read this book a few months ago and let me tell you, it was so boring. The cover makes it look great but the plot was just so boring. I do not recommend it at all! =P
 Nice Quick Read.
Laguna Cove by: Alyson Noel is probably for ages 12 or 13 and up.
br /It is about a girl named Anne from New York who just moved to Califonia and her new friends she meets.
br /She learns to surf , make friends , gets a perfect boyfriend , etc. There's only one problem. Ellie hates Anne.
br /This book was pretty easy to read ,but still very interesting. There were a lot of modern teen conflix and events that took place and a lot of them were quite surprising and sometimes just plain hilarious. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it to anyone looking for a slightly girly an easy book to read. :)
A compelling story
Anne's new life in Laguna Beach, California is anything but appealing to her: the area's quite different from her former Connecticut prep school and teens in California are concerned about beaches and surfing: two things she knows little about. Newfound friends help her adjust, but she still faces a lovely competitive girl who seems determined not to let her fit in. A compelling story of a new girl's adjustments emerges against a vivid, realistic California beach backdrop.
