Booklist

...for YA readers who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, Tony Correia’s celebratory novel can serve the invaluable function of colourfully filling in a historical blank. And in doing so, One Summer provides not only a rousing account of communal roots but an important message about the active, necessary and fruitful work of visibility.
