Adolescent Summers

Adolescent Summer has been lighting up screens for a whole decade – that’s ten years of Oz living it up in a fantasy world lightyears away from reality. But when production shut down during the global pandemic, Oz found himself with more free time than ever, giving him a chance to piece together parts of himself he’d lost.

When Oz finally returns to the set after the lockdown, he’s in the midst of his own transformation. What he doesn’t realize is that he’s walking straight into a minefield of drama, one that feels all too familiar – just like the battle that erupted when his co-star, Quincy, came out as nonbinary years ago. Old wounds are ripped open, and feelings are hurt.

And that’s just the beginning of the on-screen and off-screen drama.

Praise for Adolescent Summers

The representation in this book is so so good and not just in a performative way. The characters and their friendships with eachother are so lovely and feel so real. Absolutely loved it :)

This book is such an amazing eye opener to the LGBTQ* community and the struggles they go through in their life to feel accepted and part of something. I loved the storyline and hearing about Oz’s transformation. It was such an heartbreaking story that needed to be told.
