Summer Under the Stars
Four friends drive across France in what should be the holiday of a lifetime. But Sasha’s struggling with her dad getting remarried; Cam is reeling from being rejected by her birth grandparents; Hetal’s terrified of letting everyone down; and Nell’s worried that while she’s away her relationship with Tom is falling apart. When things go wrong and emotions run high, will they have what it takes to rekindle their friendship?
They need to remember why they’re friends. They need a road trip to end all road trips. They need a summer under the stars.

I am incredibly grateful to both NetGalley and Firefly Press for the opportunity to read and review Summer Under the Stars. Being selected to explore this captivating story before its official release has been such a treat, and I can’t wait to share my thoughts on it with all of you. A huge thank you to the teams at NetGalley and Firefly Press for their generosity and for making this advanced reading experience possible.
This book was incredibly frustrating. It started out being super fun but honestly the further I got into the book, the more stressed out I got.
I appreciate that I'm in my late twenties but I almost exclusively read young adult books and the immaturity of the characters doesn't typically bother me but Sasha, Hetal, Nell and Cam were all somewhat unbearable.
I love the idea of young adult novels with travel involved, especially road trips, but the characters and their lack of communication with each other really got on my nerves.
It's a good lesson in communication, for sure. But even at 16 or so, I don't remember being so useless.
This story just had so much potential, and I get it... it's the plot, it's the whole point of the book but I'm honestly enraged.

The story is so so sweet and such a genuine novel to read, a perfect start to the summer. Also, it only took me an afternoon to read since I physically couldn’t put it down, and I found a signed copy. Thanks, Kate!

It was a heartwarming and a fast-paced read exploring teenage friendships and the complexity of emotions.
