Why read it?
1 author picked The Summer I Found You as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Perry has created two great characters in Aidan and Kate. Both are damaged in their own ways – Kate has diabetes and Aidan lost an arm in Afghanistan - and certain their problems are the only things that define them. Watching them grow and change and accept that they are so much more than their problems makes this a satisfying read.
From Kate's list on YA with amputee characters.
