Synopsis

Andrea Williams has got this. The Best Summer Ever. Last summer, she spent all her time in bed, recovering from the latest surgery for her cerebral palsy. She’s waited too long for adventure and thrills to enter her life. Together with her crew
of ride-or-die friends, and the best parents anyone could ask for (just don’t tell them that), she’s going to live it up.

There’s just one thing that could ruin it: Her best friend, Hailee, finding out Andrea’s true feelings. So Andrea WILL fall out of love with Hailee—even if it means dating the cute boy George who keeps showing up everywhere with a smile.

Do we want Andrea to succeed? No! Does she? We’re not telling!

Goodreads review by Sandra on July 10, 2023

3⭐️ I always enjoy reading a Young Adult story, but this time I just couldn't connect with the MCs. The communication was terrible in parts and the behavior was more like middle school than high school seniors, but maybe I'm just too old for this story. Congratulation to Khea Brown for the diverse gr......more

Goodreads review by Manon the Malicious on June 05, 2023

She wasn't able to enjoy her previous summer due to a major surgery so she has to enjoy that one. But most of all, she has to fall out of love wi......more
