Darkness is a wave, and all waves pass eventually. But right now, in this moment, it feels like it will last forever.

Your sexuality, and how you identify, is nobody else's business. You can change your mind, or not change your mind. Those labels exist for you, and not so that everyone else can try to force you into a box. Especially if that box is their close-minded idea of fucking normal.

– Akemi Dawn Bowman, Summer Bird Blue

Rumi Seto spends a lot of time worrying she doesn’t have the answers to everything. What to eat, where to go, whom to love. But there is one thing she is absolutely sure of—she wants to spend the rest of her life writing music with her younger sister, Lea.

Then Lea dies in a car accident, and her mother sends her away to live with her aunt in Hawaii while she deals with her own grief. Now thousands of miles from home, Rumi struggles to navigate the loss of her sister, being abandoned by her mother, and the absence of music in her life. With the help of the “boys next door”—a teenage surfer named Kai, who smiles too much and doesn’t take anything seriously, and an eighty-year-old named George Watanabe, who succumbed to his own grief years ago—Rumi attempts to find her way back to her music, to write the song she and Lea never had the chance to finish.

Crawling out of the darkness always feels like it takes so very long, and falling back into it can happen in a second.

Happy Pride Month!  @draconiclore & I have made a list of 30 LGBTQ+ books (or series) that one or both of us has read & enjoyed.  Representation has come a long way in literature, and we thought this would be a fun way of celebrating what we have at the same time as thinking about how far there still is to go.  We will take turns sharing our list, one title/series each day!

We are just 2 people who love books and we don't know everything.  Please feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts or share books that you love!

Day 2: Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman - a grieving teen finds her way back to herself through deep friendships with her neighbors during a summer spent at her aunt's house in Hawaii.

I also heartily recommend the author's middle grade novel, Generation Misfits!
