Cool for the Summer was maybe the best book I read this summer and definitely one of my favourite ya contemporaries I read this year.It is coming of age story done well, with lead character discovering who she is and what she wants and doesn't want in her life, and how dreams coming true don't guarantee happiness.With wild cast of lgbtq+ characters that are, from my point of view, ,represented right, Adler deserves to be a new voice of ya contemporaries.The story was good and easy to read.I read...
Hands down. I loved this book. I enjoyed each of the characters. I liked the genuine, motivational writing style. And I liked the idea of self discovery, pure emotional, inspirational outcome! Of course I liked the bisexual love triangle theme between Lara, Jasmine and Chase! The only thing bothered me was the beginning point. I didn’t get exactly why Chase fell for Lara because they haven’t shared a deep bond, never talked before. Out of nowhere he started to flirt with her and of course Lara’...
This book is definitely needed in the world. I wasn't sure what to expect but the amount of validation that I got as an adult from reading the book was astounding. I wish that I would have had something like this growing up.I've had my eyes on this book for a while, but it's taken me a while to pick it up. I'm not a huge fan of Demi Lovato's earlier music, but Cool for the Summer is one of their earlier songs that I do enjoy. Lyrically the song explores the possibility of Demi being bisexual (th...
updated review (1/15/2021):2.5ish stars. This was quick and overall fun book, but it was also heartfelt and packed more of an emotional punch than I was expecting. After reading this, my heart feels like a piece of chocolate with a gooey molten center. I did not think this book would cause me to cry/tear up multiple times, but I enjoyed the emotional journey. Unfortunately there were also parts of the book that took away from my enjoyment of it. I liked Lara's character arc as she explored her s...
So excited that this book is one step closer to being out in the world! I can't wait for everyone to meet Lara, Jasmine, Chase, and the rest! Just for fun, here are five random facts about this book:1) It's told in past and present timelines, with the former set in Outer Banks, NC and the latter set in a fictional town in Westchester, NY. 2) It's extremely bisexual/bi-questioning. (There is also secondary on-page aroace rep.)3) It is obviously named for the Demi Lovato song, which also plays a r...
↠ 3 starsThis Grease inspired contemporary with a bisexual main character was certainly something. Summer love is fickle, and for high school senior Lara it arrives when she least expects it: while on summer holiday in Outer Banks, North Carolina. Swept away from her friends in New York and everything she knows, Lara spends the summer with Jasmine, the daughter of her mother's supervisor. What starts out as an unlikely friendship quickly blossoms into something incredible, but when they part way...
Man, do I love a messy queer love triangle. This book was SO MUCH FUN. It is full of pining and sass and questioning and FEELINGS and I highly, highly recommend checking this one out if you like YA romance! Seriously, so cute. This needs to be made into a summer movie asap bc I NEED IT(Also, I listened to this one via audiobook and thought the narration was fantastic! Highly recommend x2!!)CW: biphobia
this is going to be the bi romance(s) of all of our dreams 💗💜💙 & the power of the line "but if she's finally got the guy, why can't she stop thinking about the girl?" whew, lads!

3.50 Stars. This was a pretty good read but I didn’t love it like I hoped to. This story had a queer Grease vibe that I was really excited about reading. The premise was good, but there were some obvious issues for me, mostly story choices, that I’m not a fan of when any author uses them. I have a feeling this book might work better for people who don’t share some of my dislikes.Firstly while I didn’t like all the characters, on an overall scale I thought they were well done. Even some of the se...
this is probably a 2.5 star rounded up to a 3 star for me? i'm lowkey really bummed because a lot of people i know absolutely adored it & it was a highly anticipated read for me, but i just kept getting pulled out of the story from the way certain things are described. for example, the "non-binary friend" comment really rubbed me the wrong way, or the way each character's ethnicity was specified, even when it didn't make sense/if we never heard about that character again. at times, it felt lik...
4.5 starsWhen you get everything you wanted, why doesn’t it make you happy? That's a question at the core of Dahlia Adler's YA romance, Cool for the Summer . (Yes, it's named after the Demi Lovato song.)Larissa has spent most of high school in the shadow of her best friend Shannon and wishing that Chase, the handsome star athlete, would notice her. But having to spend the summer in the Outer Banks at her mother’s boss’ house changed her perspective, mainly because she got to spend time with J...
2.5?mixed feelings (mostly disappointment). pretty cover though.
Happy release day! I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.This was one of my highly anticipated reads for the year. The cover is amazing, and the synopsis seemed up my alley. I honestly did not expect to get the arc, but I was so excited when I did. However, this book did not entirely live up to my expectations. Dahlia Adler’s Cool for the Summer follows a high school senior named Lara as she attempts to figure out her life and what she wants. After the summer, Lara’s
