A Shore Thing

Its a summer to remember . . . at the Jersey Shore.

Giovanna Gia Spumanti and her cousin Isabella Bella Rizzoli are going to have the sexiest summer ever. While they couldnt be more differentpint-size Gia is a carefree, outspoken party girl and Bella is a tall, slender athlete who always holds her tonguefor the next month theyre ready to pouf up their hair, put on their stilettos, and soak up all that Seaside Heights, New Jersey, has to offer: hot guidos, cool clubs, fried Oreos, and lots of tequila.

So far, Gias summer is on fire. Between nearly burning down their rented bungalow, inventing the popular tan-tags at the Tantastic Salon where she works, and rescuing a shark on the beach, she becomes a local celebrity overnight. Luckily, she meets the perfect guy to help her keep the flames under control. Firefighter Frank Rossi is exactly her type: big, tan, and Italian. But is he tough enough to handle Gia when things really heat up?

Bella is more than ready for some fun in the sun. Finally free of her bonehead ex-boyfriend, she left home in Brooklyn with one goal in mind: hooking up with a sexy gorilla for a no-strings-attached summer fling. In no time, she lands a job leading Beat Up the Beat dance classes at a local gym, and is scooped up by Beemer-driving, preppy Bender Newberry. Only problem: Bella cant get her romantic and ripped boss Tony Trouble Troublino out of her head. Hes relationship material. Suddenly, Bellas not sure what she wants.

The cousins soon realize that for every friend they make on the boardwalk, there are also rivals, slummers, and frenemies who will do anything to ruin their summerand try their relationship. Before July ends, the bonds of family and friendship will be stretched to the breaking point. Will the haters prevail, or will Gia and Bella find love at the Shore?

For everyone who loves MTVs hit reality show, Nicole Snooki Polizzis sweet, funny, and sexy novel perfectly captures the heat, the energy, the fun, and the drama of Jersey Shore.
