A review by luarentaylor
The Summer That Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel

5.0

Wow. Poetic. Daring. One long, lyrical, unsolved riddle. All of it: gradually engulfing like a swelling tide, with waves that crash hard whether you're ready or not.

This novel is incredibly touching, and devastatingly beautiful in its own saturated way, and so much grander than itself. It's fiercely relevant to its unique world just as well as it is to our own, speaking on powerful topics like fear, race, religion, ignorance, love in its many forms, homophobia, and other phobias and abuses.

This is definitely one I would recommend to anyone.
