Hurricane Summer

⭐⭐⭐.

A fairly standard coming-of-age tale. The novel's greatest strength is the setting. I found the main character an annoying every-girl caricature; she has no interests or hobbies other than boys and apparently owns more clothes than necessary. I was more than ready for the climax when she finally grew a fucking spine and I might have enjoyed this book if she had shown that sort of willfullness earlier on.

Many thanks to Wednesday Books for the ARC.
