I think this was a really good book it is about, a girl named Lucy and her brothers don't think it's fair to change there life to help fulfill their parents dream.They move from New York City to run to Scottwood Inn on the cape in Massachusetts,Lucy tries to keep her sense of humor and help her parents but it just don't work out.

All the teenagers in the book are brats, including the main character and the guests at the inn. The best part is the ghost story shared between the old man resident of the inn and the young son of the new owner.

Angsty teen rebel from the 80's. Bad language, drama but a cute boy makes it all better.... re-thinking having my daughter watch this.
