My Summer of Hate

by Evan Jacobs

Overview

The summer of 1997 changed everything.

In the sun-baked suburbs of Orange County, Tim is a dedicated guitarist on the rise with his hardcore band, Augmented. Life revolves around music, loyalty, and Erika-the girlfriend who keeps him grounded. But as cultural changes start to ripple through his once-familiar neighborhood, Tim finds himself caught up in a wave of identity, anger, and fear.

What begins as youthful rebellion spirals into something darker when Tim and his friends struggle to define what's theirs-and who belongs. My Summer of Hate is a brutally honest coming-of-age novel that examines race, music, loyalty, and the fragile line between belonging and division. With raw emotion and biting realism, Evan Jacobs captures the turmoil of a young man torn between comfort and change, friendship and truth.

One summer. One choice. One path that can't be undone.
