YA
The summer before college, Battle joins her estranged brother, Nick, who lives in a theater group's communal house. With effort, Battle slowly learns to sync up with her housemates' quirky rhythms and carves out a bumpy romance with her housemate, Meryl. Though the conclusion is a bit underdeveloped, the story delivers drama, complete with realistic tension and characters.

YA
At a summer institute for gifted high-school students, Nicola finds herself attracted to another girl. Nic's uncertainty about whether she's either lesbian or bisexual is believably conveyed, and the dialogue is convincingly realistic. Despite a flimsily constructed conflict, YA readers are sure to embrace the believable passions in this summer romance.
