<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Seventeen-year-old Lara's dream of catching Chase Harding's eye finally comes true even as Jasmine, with whom she just spent a confusing, oddly romantic summer, reenters her life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Witty, wise, and disarmingly tender. I am hopelessly devoted to this summer dream of a book. --Becky Albertalli, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda</i><br></b><br><b>The guy of her dreams... or the girl in her heart? </b> <p/>Lara's had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. He's tall, strong, sweet, a football star, and frankly, stupid hot. Oh, and he's talking to her now. On purpose and everything. Maybe...flirting, even? No, wait, he's definitely flirting, which is pretty much the sum of everything Lara's wanted out of life. <p/>Except she's haunted by a memory. A memory of a confusing, romantic, strangely perfect summer spent with a girl named Jasmine. A memory that becomes a confusing, disorienting present when Jasmine herself walks through the front doors of the school to see Lara and Chase chatting it up in front of the lockers. <p/>Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams. But if she's finally got the guy, why can't she stop thinking about the girl? <p/>Dahlia Adler's <i>Cool for the Summer</i> is a story of self-discovery and new love. It's about the things we want and the things we need. And it's about the people who will let us be who we are.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>* <b>Winner of the Alma for Best Jewish YA of the Year *</b><b><br>* An Indie Next Pick! *</b> <p/>Writ-ten in a clear, acces-si-ble style, this book tells the com-pelling and sweet sto-ry of one girl's jour-ney of self-discovery. --<b>JEWISH BOOK COUNCIL </b> <p/>There are so many more reasons to pick up this YA romance... <i>Cool for the Summer </i>is the perfect addition to your LGBTQ+ YA reading list. --<b>SHONDALAND</b> <p/>This book is a gamechanger for queer Jewish teens. --<b>ALMA<br></b><br>A delightful, lighthearted romantic comedy. --<b>THE SEATTLE TIMES</b> <p/>With its summery vibes and rollercoaster of queer confusion, <i>Cool for the Summer</i> is the sexy, sweet and steamy beach read of the year! --<b>THE NERD DAILY</b> <p/>Adler's heartfelt contemporary romance is as bright and sweet as its cover and poignantly explores queer identity and self-discovery. --<b>BUZZFEED, 30 New YA Books You'll Want To Read This Spring</b> <p/>[S]trung through with humor, warmth, and sensuality, this romance will speak to any reader who has ever struggled to know their own heart. --<b>BOOKLIST (starred review)</b> <p/>Readers who enjoy romance will be delightfully surprised with this book that will take them a bit deeper on the road of self-discovery through high school crushes. --<b>SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL</b> <p/>The thoughtful representation of a questioning teen's struggle to understand herself...is sorely needed.
