Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Sweet coming-of-age tale." - Kirkus Reviews (recommended book)

"A rock-solid chick-lit novel-engaging, humorous, and touching." - IndieReader (starred review)

"While the emotions are resonant, the gentle humor and brisk prose give Two Weeks of Summer an appealingly light touch. All the characters are well etched and engaging, presented with empathy and, at the novel's best, a playful sense of surprise ... This bright, feel good novel about sisterly love, female friendships, and the meaning of family offers heaps of heart." - BookLife (starred review)

"No matter how things seem on the outside, everyone struggles with something on the inside. Author Katherine Tirado-Ryen brings this reality to light in a way that is not only realistic and fresh, but is also a joy to read....Characterization is organic and effortless ...A down-to-earth story about a lovely Latina with a lot to learn about herself, Two Weeks of Summer is a touching read with the poignant message that love starts within." - Indies Today (starred review)

"Two Weeks of Summer is a tale that invites reflection on life choices, personal growth, and the intricacies of familial bonds ... Tirado-Ryen crafts a story that reverberates with authenticity and tender moments, offering readers a heartwarming narrative that shows the significance of embracing change and stepping into the uncertainty of an evolving future." - The Book Commentary (starred review)

"Many women will relate to Kim Kincaid. We each have stories about cruel treatment by the popular girls in school or growing up in the shadow of a more talented sibling....I loved the way that Katherine Tirado-Ryen highlights the difference Summer's unconditional love made in Kim's life an how it started her on a journey of self-discovery and growth. The reader will see how courage and honesty can lead to restoring relationships and that dealign with challenges is easier when you have a good support structure. This book is an excellent read for young women and will give them a fresh perspective on pursuing popularity in schools." - Readers' Favorite (starred review)
