The Summer I Wasn't Me Blog Tour: Guest Post + Giveaway

 

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for The Summer I Wasn't Me being hosted by Sourcebooks Fire! Today I have a top ten list by the author along with a giveaway for a finished copy of the book. Enjoy!


The Summer I Wasn't Me
Author: Jessica Verdi
Genre: YA Contemporary
Release Date: April 1, 2014
Publisher: Sourcebooks Fire

Description:
 
Lexi has a secret…

Ever since her mom found out she was in love with a girl, seventeen year old Lexi’s afraid that what’s left of her family is going to fall apart for good.

You are on the road to truth. Help is on the way.

The road signs leading to New Horizons summer camp promise a new life for Lexi- she swears she can change. She can learn to like boys. But denying her feeling is harder than she thinks. And when she falls head over heels for Carolyn, one of her fellow campers, Lexi will have to risk her mother’s approval for the one person who might love her no matter what.

In The Summer I Wasn’t Me, Verdi writes with raw honesty and an open heart, asking the hard questions and exploring emotional depths and difficult truths in her character that no YA author has done before.
