   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) fuzzipueo | Apr 24, 2022 |  Something Like Summer tells the story of being in love, of finding the the one that makes life wonderful, the heartbreaks that loving includes even as the love continues. The book feels real, the characters feel genuine, the situations feel authentic. Author Jay Bell presents a sometimes gut-wrenching story of love between two men made more difficult by one character’s inability to accept himself. There is a subtle change in the tone of the book when it gets to section 2 that I felt foreshadowed how the rest of the book would go. Perhaps the author intended this hint of what was to come, but I doubt it. Nevertheless, I thought the overall novel was an enjoyable read, much better than many of a similar type of novel.
