The Summer that Melted Everything by Tiffany McDaniel

3.0

The Summer That Melted Everything takes place in the 1980s in Ohio during the hottest summer ever known. We follow Feilding who lives in the town when one day a black boy comes into the town claiming he is the devil.

The characters were off. We mostly follow children in this book, and they act and talk as if they're 25 years old. It was pretentious and got under my skin. Especially Sal. I could not stan the way he was written in this book.

There were way to many metaphors in this book. I swear there was one every single paragraph and it was tiring.

Then there was the ending, which really bothered me. It was predictable and wasn't even done in an interesting way. Many characters were killed off by the end, but the writing had made them weak so I ended up not even caring.
