“Equally authentic and engaging.” —Publishers Weekly 

“The Second Summer, while breezy and fun to read, deals seriously with love lost and found, death, and finding the courage to live honestly.” —Amazon.com

“Brashares has done an outstanding job of showing the four teens growing up and giving readers a happy, ultimately hopeful book, easy to read and gentle in its important lessons.” —Booklist
