Loved this book! Perfect for a college student who typically reads romance but is also a lefty climate activist.

Great book! I was able to relate to this book because I'm in college and I feel many of the same things the characters do. It was inspiring and I'm glad I read this book.

Three undergrads navigate relationships, ideologies, and the call to activism in this beautifully-written debut from Susan DeFreitas. My full review is posted at Ecolitbooks.com.

Hot Season reminded me of all the positive idealism present in the grassroots activists I've met over the years. This hit me on the nostalgia button big time, as I've lived in a fairly progressive/hippie-type college town for the last 10 years and actually met my husband in a housing cooperative. I appreciated all the little details about that similar community in this book.
Full disclosure-I grew up with Susan, so I definitely connected with this on a fairly personal level. That being said, I loved this book. The descriptions of the Southwest are incredibly evocative-I've never felt compelled to see more of that country and Susan's story made me yearn for it.
