How I Came Across It... *When Jeff Zentner releases a new novel, I'm always aware and on it. Not only did he write Colton Gentry which recently came out, but he co-authored this young adult novel with Brittany Cavallaro which was released during the summer of 2024. What It's About - Five Things You Need to Know... *Jude is at summer camp and loves photography.
*Florence is also at summer camp and loves dance.
*The two teenagers meet at the end of the summer camp celebration which runs from dusk until dawn.
*At the end of their first night together, they decide not to talk for the next year and only communicate at the next sunrise night.
*After spending three sunrise nights together, Jude and Florence find their similarities and differences and learn how to deal with them.
What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections...
*This was such an enjoyable read.
*It had been quite some time since I read a young-adult novel and I'm glad that these two authors brought me back to the this genre.
*I loved the relationship between Jude and Florence. I found myself laughing out loud on many occasions.
*The authors did a tremendous job of bringing these two young people to life and sharing both their past and their present stories.
*The three sunrise nights "format" worked so well and I enjoyed how during each visit, the two characters came to know each other better and better; flaws and all.
Who Should Read It...
*Definitely a young-adult story (high-school and college readers), but I do think the book could be enjoyed by the typical adult reader. A well written and interesting story of two young people trying to find themselves and each other. Happy Reading!
