Summer Girls

Praise for Summer Girls:

An ALA Rainbow Book List Selection

* “A continuous page-turner. Aside from the blossoming relationship, Dugan focuses on current issues such as coming out and gentrification. Many young adults will also relate to the worrisome problem of parents recording their children for online content. A reminder that love is always worth the fight.” —Booklist, starred review

“If you liked the quaint beach town setting (and tension-filled relationships) in The Summer I Turned Pretty, this sapphic YA romance about two polar opposites who fall into an unexpected relationship one summer is sure to check all the boxes.” —People

“The narrative not only chronicles the teens’ slow-burn romance, but also deftly addresses the underlying issues present in their relationship, including wealth, class differences, the privilege of being able to come out on your own terms, and the volatile nature of social media. This fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romance will keep readers turning the pages . . . A summer romance that’s a delightful read in any season.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Nuanced discussions of gentrification levied by the girls’ charming romance balance out this sweet and summery beach read.” —Publishers Weekly
