Summer Girls

De: Jennifer Dugan

Narrado por: Leeanna Albanese, Kristyna Zaharek

From the author of Some Girls Do comes a summery sapphic romance about two girls from the same vacation town, whose worlds couldn’t be farther apart.

Cass has a rule about dating summer girls—just say no. Every year, her idyllic beach town is flooded with the obnoxious daughters of the rich who stay in their families’ summer homes, sail their yachts, and generally make things unbearable for townies like Cass.

Birdie is the ultimate summer girl. She’s the daughter of a wealthy real estate developer dad and a social media influencer mom, and this summer Birdie happens to be in big trouble for accidentally crashing her boyfriend’s very expensive car.

Birdie’s punishment is to spend the summer with her father at the beach—but it won’t be a vacation. He’s enlisted the help of Cass, whose dad works for him, to keep Birdie on the straight and narrow, including getting her a job at the public beach where Cass lifeguards.

At first the two despise each other. Birdie doesn’t want a babysitter, and Cass doesn’t want to be one. But as the season heats up, Birdie surprises Cass time and again, and before long both girls can’t help but wonder: Are some rules made to be broken?

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Summer Girls:

* "A continuous page-turner. Aside from the blossoming relationship, Dugan focuses on current issues such as coming out and gentrification. Many young adults will also relate to the worrisome problem of parents recording their children for online content. A reminder that love is always worth the fight." —Booklist, starred review

"If you liked the quaint beach town setting (and tension-filled relationships) in The Summer I Turned Pretty, this sapphic YA romance about two polar opposites who fall into an unexpected relationship one summer is sure to check all the boxes." —People

"The narrative not only chronicles the teens’ slow-burn romance, but also deftly addresses the underlying issues present in their relationship, including wealth, class differences, the privilege of being able to come out on your own terms, and the volatile nature of social media. This fast-paced enemies-to-lovers romance will keep readers turning the pages . . . A summer romance that’s a delightful read in any season." —Kirkus Reviews

"Nuanced discussions of gentrification levied by the girls’ charming romance balance out this sweet and summery beach read." —Publishers Weekly

Cute and fun!

I love Jennifer Dugan's books. This one has a *little bit* of the "I can't possibly tell my girlfriend a big important thing" made up drama, but it wasn't so bad I had to skip forward. This would have easily been a 5-star if it didn't have the little bit it did.

Summer Girls

This was a very cute, sweet, summer romance! Birdie and Cass are from different worlds. But after being forced to spend the summer together, they're able to find more than just common ground.

Summer love is only meant to last the season...usually 😘. Jennifer Dugan knows how to write YA romance.
👏👏👏 to the narrators for a wonderful job!!

Loved it

Love the story and the narrators were great.Hope to have a part 2 to thia story

Great book to start the summer

Summer Girls is a lovely reminder that nobody’s perfect, that we’re all capable of change—and that sometimes, it’s our flaws that make us lovable. The story promotes kindness, patience, love for family, and the importance of community. The narration of both characters really stood out—Birdie’s voice felt so real, like I was actually watching her live stream.
A great book for the start the summer.
Appropriate for preteens and up.

Amazing

I loved this book I will definitely read it again It is now my favorite book.

Good story

This was a good book but I need to know what happens after everything that happens lol grrrrrr hope a part two is in the works

Flat

Waste of time. No depth, cheesy characters. They both were pretty. Predictable. Can’t think of anything positive.
