A review by kba76
On a Summer Night by Gabriel D. Vidrine
3.0
This is one of those books that will probably really help someone, if you can overlook the sheer volume of information about sexuality and gender that gets thrown at you.
Our main character, Casey, is a trans boy who is determined to get the authentic summer camp experience. He goes with his best friend, Ella, to summer camp where most of his time is spent obsessing over his crush, worrying about how to feel comfortable in his body and trying to challenge certain stereotypes.
The story is set over a very short time-scale and it has some really positive messages. For me, it felt like the desire to explore some issues took precedence over the story and characters. However, I think it will be interesting to see how teen readers respond to it.
Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this.
