See all formats and editions
Riley Clifton can’t remember a time when she wasn’t a part of the Six. Growing up alongside of six guys is never easy. Especially in high school. Falling in love with one of the Six? Even harder when Ace has a hold of her heart, and he doesn’t even know it.

Jake (Ace) Aceton has loved Riley for a long time, but has kept the secret oath of the Six. Riley was off limits. At least until after graduation.

When her college plan falls through, and her future is left to the hands of fate, Riley finds herself scrambling to keep up with all the changes. But that's not the hardest part. The hardest part is saying good-bye, especially to Ace.

Will Riley and Ace’s love be strong enough to hold them together when life tries to tear them apart?

I loved this story! The characters were the the kind of people you want to know in 'real life'....I WISH!!
It's story of true friendship,the kind that is family without being blood and the absolute joys and agonies that are a part of loving them unconditionally..... Gotta tell you though,I've never been a fan of a cliffhanger and this is by far the most agonising wait I'll ever have for Book 2!!

I must admit in the first few chapters if i had to read the word 'six' one more time i was tempted to throw my kindle. It was a little repetitive and the heroine of the story, Riley, came of a little whiney and often seemed like her and the six were above everyone around them, they were just that good. I didn't think they were that good.
It got a little predictable. These so called perfect guys who were better than everyone else where going on to live their dreams because they are that great. One goes to the army or where ever and my guessing is that he was recruited into something more and something i highly doubt 18 year olds get into.
Its a little bit sweet and about first love and coming out with your emotions and trying to figure out love but there are so many buts for me.
Overall its not bad to read but i was simply annoyed with the wording and the way it sounded as those these kids where gods and could do no wrong.

2.0 out of 5 stars Warning the story ends on a cliffhanger!
Reviewed in Australia on 4 September 2014

What is it with authors ending a story half way through on a major cliffhanger? It honestly puts me off reading any more of that authors stories because chances are the same thing will happen again. If you don't mind when a story is incomplete and ends in the middle then you should read this book........ok rant over.

The story line was ok, I found that it dragged on in places. The story is about a girl named Riley. Who is really close friends with 6 boys. It starts of on their graduation night. Where they plan to spend the next week together before their lives go in different direction. (This is where I felt the story dragged on) I get that we needed to get to know all of the characters and their different personalities. But I found myself getting bored with the story. This week they spend together takes up over half of the book and then the boys leave going their separate ways which then leaves Riley on her own.

Riley moves forward with her life helping out at the Vet clinic until something major happens in her life. This part of her life I felt was basically brushed aside. The author spend over half the book on her at a cabin and only a few chapters on a major life changing event? Something that will stick with her for the rest of her life, something that is life altering and her 6 male friends don't even come back to support her? I was really disappointed with how quickly she moved on from that, it was as if it was just added in at the last minute but no time or thought was put into it.

Riley being a strong willed person is able to move forward with her life until..........Something else major happens. Not believing the news of this major event she calls one of the six guys. (The story line is now turned from a drama/romance story to a mystery?) Where he then tells her he is dropping everything and on his way to her. (Which I thought he, well all of the guys would have done with the first major event but anyway) which is where the story ends with the usually line of to be continued that I hate so much.

I don't write many reviews but since I had read this books reviews before reading it and had no idea of it ending on a cliffhanger I thought it needed to addressed.

I doubt I will bother with this author again

Some reviewers didn't like the style of writing etc but I jelled to it. However we are left on a cliffhanger & from what I've read of reviews of the next books in the series we my be left hanging for awhile. Is this so we buy the series? I've read plenty of books with a group of characters & they intertwine. I'm not sure this series does. Maybe if they're released as a set I'll buy them then & find out.

I really enjoyed this novel. No only because of the cliché love story but because the author made the characters, the experiences and emotions realistic. So realistic that I laughed and cried along with the characters. I recommend this novel to anyone who believes in love and loss.
I can't wait until the second novel!!

Wow, The Summer I Fell had me sobbing all the way to the end. I don't think a book has touched me as deeply as this book has. I loved Sonya's writing style and the story flows really easily. If you don't like a tear jerker then this book is not for you!!

Going through the Six’s last week together before everyone leaves was emotionally rough. Your heartbreaks for them, you can feel their pain as the end of an era approaches. I feel so sorry for Riley. Not only are her protectors leaving but also the one who stole her heart. She's feels alone, everything she's ever known is changing and she's left behind.

This is my first book by Sonya. I can't wait to find out more about the SIX!!

This is not the book I was expecting it to be. Of course I hate going into a book with expectations because more often than not, they don't come to fruition, but this book was different and darker than I expected. The concept of the six is what so many youth wish they could be a part of, a great group of friends that stick together and have each other's backs through it all. There were some lulls for me throughout the book but it was usually recovered quickly. That ending though. I wanted to hurt Miss Loveday. I'm hoping book two brings that to solution or I might be taking a road trip south *wavesfists*

5.0 out of 5 stars Grab your tissues
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2015

Thank you to Sonya for sending me a copy of this book to review.

The first thing I'm going to say is make sure you have at least 2 boxes of tissues nearby and are wearing waterproof mascara when reading this book.

The six have a great friendship. Each member has a different personality but they all compliment each other. Jared is the joker. He's constantly making people laugh but he's also the one winding everyone up. He knows exactly how to irritate you. He would definitely be a great person to have around when your feeling down. Josh and Jared love their music. They both play the guitar. Mark loves his photography and is always trying to capture the best moments so that they never forget them. Eli was the last member to join the six but he made them become the six before that they were just a bunch of guys who always seemed to be together. Aiden is the quiet one but like they say it's the quiet ones you need to watch out for. The one thing they all have in common is they would do anything to protect Riley.

Ace is the strong silent one. He has a temper that you can see flare out of control on occasions. He's also the one that Riley is in love with but she hasn't quite worked out how to tell him yet.

There are a lot of sad moments in this book and I could relate to how they all felt leaving each other behind. It reminded my of the end of Uni. I had such great friends that had been there with me for the last 3 years. We'd had our ups and downs, gone through good times and bad and the thought of them not being a few doors down from me any more was heart breaking. I knew they would always be on the other end of the phone but deep down you know it's just not the same.

There's also a lot of funny moments. There were times when I had tears from the sad parts on my cheeks then I would be laughing so hard at the next sentence.

Paige is Rileys only female friend. She was pretty great to her. She always told Riley the truth even if it wasn't what she wanted to hear. She also gave her a big kick up the backside when she needed it.

Riley and Mary helped each other a lot during the last few chapters. I'm glad they could be there for each other.

I loved every single page of this book and I honestly cannot wait for the next book in the series. That ending KILLED me.
