If you liked Heartstopper or They Both Die at the End, then you’ll love Redwood Summer, the second instalment of the Redwood Academy Series.
This summer is a turning point. Peter takes a chance and finds himself in Dalton Prescott's world - the exclusive beach house of one of the wealthiest families on the Cape.
But in a place where wealth and privilege reigns supreme, Peter is nothing but an outsider. The Prescotts are closed off and keep their feelings caged - the Prescotts don’t let people in and they don’t let people out. Though Dalton seems determined to break those chains, does he really want to be more than just friends with Peter? Or is it all a facade, a way for him to rebel against the strict rules of his family?
One thing is certain, this summer will leave both boys changed forever.

Quality issues and just felt like the release was rushed. The characters getting together was drawn out and then once they actually got together, the first kiss wasn’t shown and they just jumped/rushed into everything. So much felt unrealistic, naive, cartoonish antagonists, overly simple/predictable, etc. So disappointing after such a promising start.
The sequel sets the stage for a wonderful summer in the riches for a poor boy who is trying to date the son of a would be Governor. It of course grows in complexity and turns on several sides, and I can’t wait until the next book to find out how Peter gets even.
I loved the growing relationship and the struggle Dalton is doing with his family expectations versus his love for Peter.
Again, Weaver and Mr. Prescott are missing mustaches to twirl. At least Mrs. Prescott offered some depth.
The end was maybe a little weird and unbelievable with the dad setting Peter up, but it certainly was intense.
Now bring the third one. But I will be happy to wait an additional month if you can get it proof read to fix obvious errors.
The second book offered much more of Peter and Dalton together, which was nice. It’s a decent, cute story and ended on a cliffhanger so I’ll have to read book three to see how it ends.. fingers crossed for a happy ending 🤞🏻👨❤️💋👨
The story heats up now with Dalton and Peter. Some shady stuff happens and the story is flushed out better. Nice cliffhanger to get you to book 3. 3.5 for secret rendezvous.
Can’t believe I nearly didn’t read these 3 books. Amazing had me laughing and crying. Lesson for me about taking some reviews with a pinch of salt - we all have different tastes but this trilogy isn’t long and def worth a go
Great sequel! I had an idea that there was more to Dalton Prescott than one would imagine! I love how author Anna Bouvier keeps me turning the pages to want to learn more about these two main characters of Dalton and Peter! Wonderful and captivating story!
