	That Summer, by Sarah Dessen
		The winds of change are blowing bitterly around 15-year-old Haven as her parents break up, her father marries a younger woman, her sister Ashley turns into a termagant as her wedding approaches, and her own body becomes a stranger, topping 5' 11'' in a sustained growth spurt.
		To shield herself, Haven clings to the memory of a summer vacation to Virginia Beach three years ago, when her family was still together and Sumner Lee, the best of Ashley's legion of boyfriends, came along.
		In her first novel, the young author writes in a fresh, unselfconscious style about two crucial summers in the life of her fifteen-year-old heroine: the present one, marked by her father's second wedding and her older sister's first; and an idyllic past summer when she was eleven and, in her memory, everything was perfect.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Texas Summer: A Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Southern's modest, sensitive coming-of-age novel evokes Texas red-dirt country in the 1950s, when nitwits shoot deer or house cats for fun and a "damn nigger" is not worth anything.
		Southern's last novel, completed in 1992, was the result of an on-again, off-again thirty-year effort to write a real exploration of his childhood in rural Texas.
		A strange coming-of-age novel it is indeed, since Harold's introductions to the world of adult life are not through baseball, fishing, or books, but through marijuana, knife fights, and panty-peeping; the book is very much Southern's version of "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man." A poignant and elegantly comic memoir of youth.

	Review of Barbara Kingsolver, Prodigal Summer
		Deanna Wolfe, heroine of the first of three interwoven stories in the novel, comes to experience a range of biologically-driven emotions shaped largely by her age (the other side of forty), but you'd never mistake her for a chick-lit heroine who could say the words 'biological clock' without irony.
		Having chosen a life of isolation after her marriage ends, her world is invaded by Eddie Bondo, coyote hunter and sex god, with whom she argues and makes love and through whom she comes to reevaluate her notions of independence.
		The novel is never didactic: if anything, the tidiness of the resolutions that may frustrate some readers comes not from a singular political message but from the traditional aspect of storytelling style.

	"Writing the Summer Novel" by Waverly Fitzgerald
		Many years ago, one of my writing partners told me about the concept of the summer novel, that is, a novel that you write just for sheer fun, something perhaps lighter or just different than what you normally write.
		The idea came from her friend, Nancy, who took a break from working on her serious and thoroughly research historical novel set in ancient Egypt to write a time travel romance one summer.
		Summer can also be a good chance to expand your writing repertoire.
