This novel, which perfectly captures the joy of summer, the heartbreak of sudden loss, and the resilience of friendship, is recommended for general purchase, and is ideal for fans of Morgan Matson or Ashley Woodfolk.
A heartwarming collection filled with Rowell’s signature wit and charm that also hits some heavier notes; a must-purchase where the “Simon Snow” trilogy has been popular.
This inadequately researched title leans too heavily on the author’s own perspectives and experiences and is unlikely to meet the needs of contemporary grieving teens. Not recommended.
Recommended for general purchase; hand to fans of Mark Oshiro’s Anger Is a Gift, Misa Sugiura’s This Time Will Be Different, or Kelly Loy Gilbert’s When We Were Infinite.
