Volume Nineteen in the Books That Matter Series
The Season of You and
Me is a young adult love story. Two teenagers meet on a beach, one in a car
and the other with her bike. Their encounter is brief but then they meet up
again at a summer camp where they will both be working. Sounds like a classic
boy meets girl romance. Only, the girl is spending the summer at her father's bed
& breakfast, trying to escape a bad
break-up back home. And the guy, he is paralyzed.
Bryan, a former surfer, had an accident a year and a half
ago that left him in a wheelchair and he is just getting back to work at the
summer camp. Parents have concerns about whether he will be up for the physical
demands of camp but Bryan doesn't let that stop him. He refuses to let anything
hold him back, except when it comes to surfing. Despite the encouragement of
his friends, Bryan has not surfed since the accident and doesn't want to talk
about making the adjustments that would be needed to make it happen.
Cassidy 's boyfriend has cheated on her and her answer is to
flee for the summer. Leaving her mom and Nan, Cassidy moves in with her father,
step-mother, and half-brother. When
school starts again, her ex-boyfriend will be away at college and she won't have
to see him again. Running sounds like the perfect plan...until it isn't.
The Season of You and
Me by Robin Constantine is an alternating point of view novel of two
teenagers falling in love and helping one another heal from the things that
hurt and scare them the most. It is certainly a book that matters.
