Quote: "As much as she didn't want to hear about Mr. Graffen, she hated the sound of Jacob's name."
The Graffens were the super-rich family for whom Lucy's father worked. During the summer between her freshman and sophomore years, she formed a crush on their son Jacob. When the Graffen parents caught the young couple in what was probably an experimental kiss for Jacob, they cut off Lucy's scholarship and separated the two. It might have been the very nastiness of Mrs. Graffen's remarks about Lucy "getting your gold-digging claws into my son" that have kept them thinking of a summer crush as the One True Love of Their Lives...
There's no suspense about this romance, there's no character development, and I can't feel very optimistic about the couple's prospects. This is just the basic fantasy of everyone who's ever wanted to marry money and not done it. If that's your favorite fantasy, you'll enjoy this mini-book.
