**I received a free ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.**

School is out and Andrea is ready to have the best summer of her life with her friends including her best friend, Hailee, who Andrea just happens to be in love with. They’re determined to complete The BSE (Best Summer Ever!) List no matter how complicated being a teen in love gets.

Keah Brown’s first YA novel is a delight with a colorful cast of characters that is queer and diverse. I couldn’t get enough of these messy, queer teens! It was refreshing seeing teen characters so well fleshed out they felt like they could walk off the page.

The representation and inclusion in this novel is another thing that adds to its overall charm and authenticity. There is plenty of queerness & racial diversity but one thing that stands out is the inclusion of Andrea’s cerebral palsy. It’s refreshing to see disability where it’s not presented in a negative light and instead it’s just something that is.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Super Secret Summer Promise. Even though miscommunication/lack of communication is one my least favorite tropes, it was executed so well I hardly even noticed until I was already very invested in the story. A true testament to the quality of Brown’s writing.

Keah Brown is an author to keep an eye on.
