~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Summer Constellations had been published when I was a teenager, it would have most likely been one of my favorite books! It is a perfect summer read for a teen girl, especially if she is going camping. I am not the target demographic for this novel, but I still enjoyed it!
There is the whole summer romance involved and Julia is just the ‘normal’ teenage girl. I would have identified with her as a teen. When she finds out her mom may be selling the only home she has ever known she is not happy at all. She works to try to do everything she can to prevent the sale from happening. And then there is Nick…. Oh wow: Should she trust him or not? Is he just taking advantage of her situation to get what he wants? And what does he really want?????
I am not a quick reader but had this one read in a few days. It is a quick and enjoyable read and I wanted to know what was going to happen. Was mom going to sell the campground or not???? I was rooting for Julia to be successful in what she wanted. The middle did drag a little for me, but the ending made up for it being bittersweet and it really gets moving in the last 50 pages.
Sevigny really captured everything I loved in this novel. She even did well with the realism with how mom felt with the financial situation. You could feel how torn mom is about selling. If you have a teen daughter, let her read this novel.
Summer Constellations is recommended. Thank you KCP Loft for my ARC copy!
