I'm the kind of girl that enjoys reading both the Da Vinci code and Gossip girl but when I came across the book pool boys I thought it would be a quick non-deep easy book to read. And to some extent I was right but I was wrong about the book being 2nd choice and not top notch because it was.
The three main characters, Brooke, Charlotte and Gorgia are three best friends that have been going to the Silver Oaks Country club since they were 5 years old. The girls are just looking forward to another summer of bikinis, boys and partying but all that changes when Brooke lays her eyes on the new lifegaurd Marcus. The three girls try flirting with him but Brooke gets pissed off that Marcus seems to like the new girl (Valerie) better.
The book takes place over a couple of weeks of the girls summer holidays and includes a breif romance period between Brooke and Marcus, A shocking revelation that Charlotte has a crush on the "Geeky" guy Caleb the girls have known forever and a hook-up between Charlotte and another old friend Robbie. Gorgia also has her fair share of excitment with her ex the tennis caoch at Silver Oaks and the new girl Valerie.
The girls break up and make up through out the whole book and it takes shocking twists and turns.

All in all the book was pretty good and I definitely recommend the book as a summer read to girls who enjoyed things like The A-list, Gossip Gril etc etc

This book is just like gossip girls and a-list. All the charactors are totally superficial and don't care about anything but themselves. None of them are likable. Read this if you want to read about a bunch of rich snobs who think they rule the world.

Silver Oaks Country Club is an exclusive place where secrets and scandals are the name of the game.

Brooke, Charlotte, and Georgia have grown up together and have always been best friends. No matter what. Then Valerie, the mysterious new girl, who seems to be all over all the pool boys, arrives.

Charlotte and Valerie become friends and are always hanging out and playing tennis together. Charlotte (referred to as "C") slowly shuts out her old friends. Brooke and Georgia feel betrayed.

Who likes who is the constant question in this book. It's very difficult to keep track of, too, because there are so many characters and the scenes change really fast. It was worth reading, but you have to pay attention all of the time to figure out who is doing what, and who they're doing it with!

Pool Boys by Erin Haft is awesome. This is the perfect choice for a quick, simple summer read. I enjoyed it very much and loved Charlotte. I don't want to give away the plot so I won't but its a great book. I love all the pool boys and just really enjoyed this book.
