The Secret Summer Promise by Keah Brown

4.0

"We are made up of the people we love and the people who love us in return."

Andrea surrounds herself with people who get her. People who both emotionally and literally support her, who let her lean on them when she tires (she has cerebral palsy), and who do it even without her having to ask out loud.

So when old divisions and new coverups crop up and threaten the group's easy unity (and their plans for the best summer ever), each needs to figure out what lays at the heart of the issue and, ultimately, apologize and communicate. And maybe friends can be more than friends after all. It felt like a soft book because sometimes that's what you need, for the most important people in your life to know you and love you for you.
