My Last Summer is a young adult novel, a coming of age story, and a tale of east meeting west. Everyone has a dream, but some dreams might just break everything apart.An 18 year old Taiwanese girl works in a restaurant in Taiwan's international airport, dreaming of escape, dreaming of flying to Hollywood, dreaming of becoming the most famous actress in Hollywood ever. But then she meets a strange boy who works in a bookstore at the airport, and as they start to hang out, as they begin to get closer and closer, her whole world begins to change in ways she could never have expected.
Her summer starts to come apart, her summer starts to break, and her summer may be the best thing that's ever happened to her.
My Last Summer will be the one summer that changes everything.
''When I fall asleep I try as hard as I can to dream about the big beautiful Hollywood sign. I dream of touching it and that it feels like fire.''

on Aug. 28, 2011 :
My Last Summmer is an interesting, well-written debut novel. The author knows about many aspects of Taiwanese culture and uses this knowledge to make the story more authentic. While this story is about a woman's experience in Taiwan, the story is very universal. People in all countries have hopes and dreams and this book is about one person with high hopes for herself and her life. I would recommend this book to anyone.
