Praise for Summer Days and Summer Nights

“The collection of short stories in Summer Days and Summer Nights are hilarious, engaging, haunting, and bittersweet . . . This is a great collection of tales that brings back memories of hot days and summer love.”—YA Books Central

"This is a star-studded lineup that doesn't disappoint . . . An intelligent beach read with heart, soul, and sizzle."Kirkus Reviews (starred review)


"There’s not a false note in the whole thing. These big-name authors deliver a collection that scorches as surely as any day in the sun."—Booklist (starred review)

“Readers will be enticed by more than steamy romance in this volume of contemporary love stories from 12 popular authors, a summery companion to My True Love Gave to Me. The selections, ranging in tone from heartfelt to spooky to downright outlandish, find passion springing from some very unexpected places . . . In all cases, the authors captivatingly render the vulnerabilities of teenagers tentatively navigating the confusing maze of first love. Offering a sampling of many different genres, bright and distinct narrative voices, and a generous portion of tender moments, this book has something for everyone who has loved or longs for it.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
