The Summer I Wasn't Me

Jessica Verdi

Lexi has a secret.

She never meant for her mom to find out. And now she’s afraid that what’s left of her family is going to fall apart for good.

Lexi knows she can fix everything. She can change. She can learn to like boys. New Horizons summer camp has promised to transform her life, and there’s nothing she wants more than to start over. But sometimes love has its own path…

Praise for The Summer I Wasn’t Me:

“A powerful indictment of reparative therapy—a sweet love story—and an unforgettable main character!”

—Nancy Garden, author of Annie on My Mind

“Verdi has offered an uncomfortable, but realistic, journey into conversion (or reparative) therapy programs. This title is recommended as a quality piece of fiction in a teen collection, and especially as part of an LGBTQ collection.”
