A summer of friendships and change

Wesley Hudson’s summer brings two unsettled parts of his life into focus: his feelings for his best friend, Nico, and the threat to Once Upon a Page, the used bookstore where he dreams of working. The premise connects a personal coming-of-age story with a local business facing a possible change of ownership. Wesley’s comic-book interests, friendships, and strained relationship with a sibling round out a story about self-discovery, belonging, and the shifts that can reshape familiar relationships and places.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in LGBTQ+ young adult fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories involving friendship, a crush, and family relationships.
  • Readers interested in stories set around a local used bookstore and the possibility of its closure or sale.

Book overview

A summer of self-discovery, friendship, and maybe more awaits Wesley Hudson in sunny Santa Monica.

Comic book geek Wesley Hudson excels at two things: slacking off at his job and pining after his best friend, Nico. Advice from his friends, '90s alt-rock songs, and online dating articles aren't helping much with his secret crush. And his dream job at Once Upon a Page, the local used bookstore, is threatened when a coffeeshop franchise wants to buy the property.

Confronted with reality, can Wes balance saving the bookstore and his strained sibling relationship? Can he win the heart of his crush, too? The Summer of Everything is a heartwarming and humorous story about finding your place, accepting change, and discovering that sometimes the best things in life are the people you already have.
