"Witty, wise, and disarmingly tender. I am hopelessly devoted to this summer dream of a book." (Becky Albertalli, New York Times best-selling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda)
Dahlia Adler's Cool for the Summer 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.
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.
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.
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?

Despite my original less-than-stellar rating for the book, I felt that the audiobook version deserved more.
Natalie Naudus is a gifted narrator, with an extraordinary ability to infuse passion in the characters she inhabits.
I'm pretty sure she could narrate a love story between two cast iron radiators, and still manage to bring me to tears.
I enjoyed the story, and loved how the author made it clear that it's ok to be queer regardless of any labels. That, to me, was the most important message in the book.
This was my first book by Adler, and I went in without any expectations.
Despite that, the character work felt a bit weak.
And while that didn't detract from the overall message, a stronger characterisation would have made the book more enjoyable for this reader and possibly other more mature readers.
Cute story, fantastic narration.
