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.
