The Summer I Wasn't Me

by Jessica Verdi

[A Darker Shade of Rosie]

Thank you NetGalley for lending me a copy of this book in exchange for a review!

DISLIKED: This book made me ANGRY. Lexi submits herself into a de-gayifying camp...willingly! It was really hard to wrap my head around this. Why would you want to change yourself when there's really nothing wrong with you?!? • Very cringe-worthy.

LIKED: And then, it got better. Lexi meets someone who ultimately may change her mind for good. The book had likeable characters. Some of the counselors were for sure on my bad side. But Lexi was a great character, despite her misleading thoughts that you can change your sexuality. • Lexi's was an interesting perspective: a view from someone who wants to change the way they are, rather than denying it from every angle.
