Summer Skin | Kirsty Eagar
21 posts | 24 read | 16 to read
Jess Gordon is out for revenge. Last year the jocks from Knights College tried to shame her best friend. This year she and a hand-picked college girl gang are going to get even.The lesson: don't mess with Unity girls.The target: Blondie, a typical Knights stud, arrogant, cold . . . and smart enough to keep up with Jess.A neo-riot grrl with a penchant for fanning the flames meets a rugby-playing sexist pig - sworn enemies or two people who happen to find each other when they're at their most vulnerable?It's all Girl meets Boy, Girl steals from Boy, seduces Boy, ties Boy to a chair and burns Boy's stuff. Just your typical love story.Taking a keen look at modern day intimacy in a hook-up culture, Summer Skin expertly shatters notions of slut shaming and the pull of sexual desire. Realistic, modern and moving, the story of Jess and Mitch is as smart as it is hot. Kirsty Eagar has written the feminist love story that girls have been waiting for." Clementine Ford "

I reread often but usually just my favorite parts. It is rare I do I cover-to-cover reread but after Henry from “Words in Deep Blue” by Cath Crowley mentions this book (and compares is “former” best friend to “Summer Skin” lead Jess) I had to pick it up again. As much as I liked it originally, I didn‘t remember a lot about it and that made this read phenomenal. I could read a favorite almost as if it was the first time! ❤️ Smart NA romance FTW.

Last book for 2018 was a reread of one of my #loveozya favourites. I‘m 2 books over my goodreads challenge and did every prompt for the AusYaBloggers Reading Challenge 😊📚🎉

It was an okay book, sometimes sexy, sometimes funny. I am not a big fan of the reformed bad boy trope, but I really liked Jess, the main character. She was relatable, she could be someone I know, and I like that.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Ooh, a #loveozya title! I haven't read any of her books - do you recommend it? 8y
Chachic Yes to Summer Skin! 🙌 8y
MarriedtoMrT @thegirlwiththelibrarybag It's a new adult/college contemporary romance with a feminist bent. If any of that sounds appealing than I absolutely recommend it. I think it's a prime example of what the genre *should* be. 8y
EloisaJames Can't get it until spring 2018! 8y
MarriedtoMrT @EloisaJames So it has a US release date? Yay! I kept seeing it mentioned but never saw anything about it coming out in the US so I broke down and got it through Book Depository last year. I'm happy it will be accessible to more people soon. 8y

BookThingo 'Mitch, can I ask you something? Who's feeding you this stuff? I mean, dinner, wine, flowers...Call, don't text.'

Mitch grimaced, clearly embarrassed. 'Mum.'

Look how many pages I bookmarked in Summer Skin 😂 This YA/NA romance is a raw and honest feminist exploration of Australia in the social media age, where young, imperfect characters are both shaped by and fighting against the norms of their world. One of my favourite reads this year! #romantsy #LoveOzYA

Summer Skin is the kind of book that makes me want to go back in time so I can give it to my teenage self. I think it would have changed my life back then. There were so many things to love in this book - the feminist theme, the characters, the romance. Definitely one of my favorite reads this year! I'm reminded that I need to read more Aussie YA/NA before 2016 ends.

Prime example of new-adult. Flawed but not angsty. Sexy but not sex-centered. A heroine who knows her mind, takes her stands but still doesn't always make the right choices. I hope it gets an American publisher soon!

Sexy, sweet and fiercely feminist, Summer Skin straddles the YA/NA gap with ease.

Summer Skin is smart, funny, sexy and feminist. The characters are amazing, and I'm quite in love with Jess myself. Mitch's character arc is beautiful. I wish I read this book when I was 19, but I still bloody loved it at 32.
