zinelib 's review for:
Cool for the Summer
by Dahlia Adler
It's frustrating that bisexual novels typically require a him vs. her trope. I guess there's no avoiding it, and Adler does her best to make the love triangle about the protagonist, not about the virtues of the boy or the girl she might love. When we meet her, Larissa is returning from spending the summer before her senior year of high school in a wealthy beach town because of her mother's job as assistant to a rich guy. The rich guy has a daughter, Jasmine, who it turns out is the perfect YA girlfriend.
The narrative alternates between the past and the present, and in the present, Larissa's longtime crush, Chase (a perfect YA boyfriend) finally notices her on the first day of school. Something else happens that day...Jasmine shows up unexpectedly, and internal drama ensues.
