a group of kids are left to their own devices one summer in the near future while their parents refuse to acknowledge an approaching hurricane. it's not a super long book, and very very readable. as a person who grew up aware of the climate crisis from a very young age, it spoke to a lot of those anxieties. and it's just really good at the end of the day!

Nothing to See Here by Kevin Wilson is summery and heartfelt and so funny, about nannying your ex-best friend's twin stepkids who spontaneously combust. The Pleasing Hour by Lily King is a solid summer book to me, too, about an au pair in France, but maybe on the sadder side of the spectrum at times. I'd also throw in Commonwealth by Ann Patchett which has a few traumatic moments but is overall a superb read about the children in two families who spend summers together in Virginia, and how their lives change in adulthood, and it goes back and forth between the two timelines

this book is so freaking cute and wholesome! It explores themes of belonging, found family and queer romance. it helped me out of a serious reading slump and i come back to it now and then if i need a break from all the heavy stuff - hope you give it a try :)

best thing you can do for yourself is become extremely comfortable with being alone and doing stuff by yourself. at a young age i forced myself to get comfortable with that and now it's my default state-- i LOVE doing stuff by myself. my coworker is a person who literally cannot go places by herself and i have been trying to help her get more comfortable doing things solo because it's very freeing. everyone should be happy to go do stuff by themselves, it's lovely!
