Grab some sunscreen and a beach towel for this fun summer romance. Cool for the Summer’s protagonist, Lara, has had googly eyes for Chase Harding for the entirety of her high school career. But when Lara spends the summer at a beach town, she meets a girl named Jasmine and realizes that she has the hots for her too. So when Chase suddenly starts making moves on Lara, she isn’t sure what to do…
 
Named after Demi Lovato’s song, Cool for the Summer is the perfect young adult read. I love Lara’s character development, the questioning of her sexuality, and finding comfort in her Jewish and Russian roots. The easy-to-follow plot kept me turning pages wanting to find out what would happen next. Who does Lara choose?…
