Challenge Corner discussion

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?

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.

I just got the audio for this! Soooo I'm crashing

Starting this now!

Aly wrote: "20% [spoilers removed]"

Ugh, I love Jasmine!

57% (view spoiler)[ Awh, Chase is cute but she clearly wants Jasmine more. He's her dream guy but I think Jasmine fits her better. (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "44%: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah, I went but it was nothing exciting. Dances are hyped up but not actually that great

Aly wrote: "57% [spoilers removed]"

100% agree!

I think I was at my homecoming and prom for maybe an hour? Definitely not worth the amount of money I spent on the outfit or the food to just go there for an hour.

Haha yes!

Alaina wrote: "62%: [spoilers removed]"

Yeah girl

77% (view spoiler)[ I get that she's confused and it's easier to be straight, but come one. You clearly love Jasmine.

Also, I really like that this normalizes sex and female masturbation. I feel like that's never mentioned in YA books (hide spoiler)]

Alaina wrote: "83%: [spoilers removed]"

So adorable! Please just get together in the present

Aly wrote: "77% .."

Yeah, just pick happiness girl! Pick Jasmine!

Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad she admitted that she loves Jasmine and told the important people in her life. And that Chase wasn't horrible about it. Very cute book (hide spoiler)]
