The Secret Summer Promise

June 6, 2023

“Resoundingly, emphatically expressed drama…for fans of messy queer romance.” – Kirkus Reviews

Andrea Williams has got this. The Best Summer Ever. Two summers ago, she spent all her time in bed, recovering from the latest surgery for her cerebral palsy. She’s waited too long for adventure and thrills to enter her life. Together with her crew of ride-or-die friends, and the best parents anyone could ask for (just don’t tell them that), she’s going to live it up

There’s just one thing that could ruin it: Her best friend, Hailee, finding out Andrea’s true feelings. So Andrea WILL fall out of love with Hailee – even if it means dating the cute boy George who keeps showing up everywhere with a smile. Do we want Andrea to succeed? No! Does she? We’re not telling!In her YA debut of nerdy queer love, Keah Brown gives us the perfect summer read and cast of characters to fall in love with.
