You Jump First

June 30

Illustrated cover of a the book You Jump First. There are two people on a raft in the middle of light green water. Way in the background are some green trees. The two people are holding hands about to jump off into the water. The one on the right seems to be a Black woman in a yellow swimsuit. Her hair is big and rounded. The one on the right seems to be a young white man with short dark hair. He has on long dark blue swim trunks and no shirt. You Jump First by Myah Ariel

Andie has had a hard year. With her parents now divorced, it’s just her and her mom at their lake house for the summer. But Andie is trying to forget about that and focus on reuniting with Patrick, her long-time, will-they-won’t-they crush. Did Andie and Patrick have a disastrous attempt at a first kiss last August? Well, yes. That’s behind them, though. This summer will be all sunshine and fireworks—literal and otherwise.

Tommy is supposed to have the perfect summer with his girlfriend, Chloe, who’s staying with his family at Big Bear Lake. He’ll finally feel like he fits in with the lake crew—something his brother, Patrick, always seems to do with ease. This summer will be all about working on his writing and being blissfully coupled up with the girl who has the most gorgeous eyes he’s ever seen.

Then Patrick shows up to the lake with a girlfriendof his own in tow and Tommy gets spectacularly dumped via text. Suddenly, Andie and Tommy are weighed down by heartbreak instead of buoyed up by romance. But who can better help you weather a broken heart than someone in the same boat?
