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.<br \/>\nExcept she\u2019s 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.<br \/>\nLara 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?<br \/>\n<b><i>Cool for the Summer<\/i> is a story of self-discovery and new love. It\u2019s about the things we want and the things we need. And it\u2019s about the people who will let us be who we are.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n\t\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n\t\"@type\":\"Review\",\n\t\"datePublished\": \"2021-06-05T10:00:08+00:00\",\n\t\"description\": \"Happy Saturday and welcome to my review of Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler!
