Hurricane Summer by Asha Bromfield

This book is about a girl named Tilla who spent her entire life trying to make her father love her. But every six months, her dad decides to leave their family and return to his home: the island of Jamaica.

When Tilla’s mom tells her she’ll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but is really excited to see what life in Jamaica is like.

In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise—all in the midst of an impending hurricane.

💭My review:

This story was so beautiful yet so sad. It was full of emotions. I really enjoyed this story. The details were amazing you really felt like you were on the island of Jamaica with Tilla. Tilla is so awesome, She is one strong young woman and so beautiful and a warrior. The only thing I didn't like was when the characters from Jamaica would use their patois/slang. Yes at the starting of the book there was a list of the words and what they meant but I didn't feel like going back and forth checking on what the words meant. It's not easy on an e-reader. But other than that I LOVED it. The author did an amazing job. Oh, and you can't forget the cover. It's soo beautiful and portrays Tilla so amazingly well. Some parts of this book were hard to read because of the racism/sexual assault/violent/family trouble. But it's an amazing book. You won't regret reading it.

I would like to say thank you to Netgalley and Wednesday books for the advanced copy.
