THERE WILL BE OTHER SUMMERS IBD

Sinopse

Perfect for fans of Alice OsemanâÇÖs conversational prose and the heart-wrenching coming-of-age stories of Nina LaCour, Tegan AndersonâÇÖsáThere Will Be Other Summersáis a queer YA contemporary about the complexities of disability, discovering the wrong ways to be not okay, and how platonic soulmates can change your world overnight.Ryn is morbidly fascinated by the ocean, and he constantly thinks of ways he might let it consume his life. But each time, something good, no matter how small, stops him from drowning. He might see past his sadness if he could still...well, see.Asher lives for the future, counting the days until she turns eighteen when sheâÇÖll be old enough to move out of her motherâÇÖs house and feel some control over how she spends her time. She tries to see the good in everyone, probably for the best since she blocks out what they say about her. Not by choice, but she does it.When Asher and Ryn meet in a group therapy exercise where they have to exchange letters, itâÇÖs unclear who saves whose life overnight. And when they make a pact to trade their lives for the remainder of the summer, itâÇÖs evident that theyâÇÖve both found the person who truly understands them: itâÇÖs only with Asher that Ryn can be himself-a lonely blind boy who might not be so alone after all. And itâÇÖs only with Ryn that Asher stops feeling so self-conscious about her deafness that she can forget to count down the days and start living them. They spend their summer trading letters and the brightest days of their lives, but when Asher finds a tearstained letter from a mysterious writer, it becomes clear that sheâÇÖll have to choose between whom she cares more about saving.
