About this ebook

My Summer To-Do List:

Practice wakeboard front flip

Host late-night island party

Build a bonfire

Seduce Todd!!!

Chelsea's more comfortable strapped onto her wakeboard on Lake Tahoe than laced into platform espadrilles—or flirting with Todd, the adorable watersports instructor she's been crushing on for years. So instead she concentrates on winning this summer's Northwest Extreme Watersports Competition. That is, until Sebastian, a hot Brazilian tennis prodigy, wakes her up to the fact that she can get a boy. But can she get the one she really wants, even if she's competing against him for the gold?

Ratings and reviews

Chelsea is a wakeboarding lover! Her parents own a resort that is right on Lake Tahoe and she is in love with the wakeboarding instructor, Todd. He was the one who taught Chelsea her passion at age fourteen, and now she is better than he is at his own sport! And now they are competing against each other at the Northwest Extreme Watersports Competition that is going to be held in the resort's part of the lake! But, over the summer, she meets a guy that likes her, so they begin going out, but she quickly realizes that the sparks just aren't there. But Sebastian, her boyfriend, makes her realize something important -- that she can make a guy like her. Will Chelsea be able to beat her crush at his own sport? Will the sparks ever fly between Sebastian and Chelsea? Will Todd ever think of Chelsea as more than a fierce competitor? Read this fun summer novel to find out! After reading WAKING UP TO BOYS, I even wanted to learn to wakeboard myself!
