"Witty, wise, and disarmingly tender. I am hopelessly devoted to this summer dream of a book." —Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens AgendaThe guy of her dreams... or the girl in her heart? Lara's had eyes for exactly one person throughout her three years of high school: Chase Harding. 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.Except she’s 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.Lara 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?Dahlia Adler's Cool for the Summer is a story of self-discovery and new love. It’s about the things we want and the things we need. And it’s about the people who will let us be who we are.

"3.5. Quick summer read"

"Oh. My. God. This was SO good. A forbidden bisexual summer romance, what more could I ask for!? I also enjoyed the fact that homophobia did not play a role in this story! I recommend to all the girls unraveling their thoughts towards other women! (As long as you don't mind a few *scenes*)."
"Cool for the Summer was a cute story, and I loved the Grease-esque setup. It's nice to see queer love triangles showing up in more books. The miscommunication aspect was frustrating, and it felt a little too long once it hit the halfway mark. Overall, it's a sweet rom-com that you should add to your summer TBR!"
"An amazing book about the realities of realizing your sexuality and discovering what that means to you and your life. Lara and Jasmines romance is so absolutely beautiful and lovely. Lara’s journey through self discovery is so real, and the things she questions are so accurate to the real questions that you have when realizing who you are. Cool for the Summer is overall such an AMAZING book and I would highly recommend for lovers of LGBTQ romance and When Katie Met Cassidy."
