Tilla has spent her entire life trying to make her father love her. But every six months, he leaves their family and returns to his true home: the island of Jamaica.

When Tilla's mother tells her she'll be spending the summer on the island, Tilla dreads the idea of seeing him again, but longs to discover what life in Jamaica has always held for him. In an unexpected turn of events, Tilla is forced to face the storm that unravels in her own life as she learns about the dark secrets that lie beyond the veil of paradise - all in the midst of an impending hurricane.

Hurricane Summer is a powerful coming of age story that deals with colorism, classism, young love, the father-daughter dynamic--and what it means to discover your own voice in the center of complete destruction.
 
 

Review

Nuanced storytelling. - Teen Vogue

This is an excellent examination of the ways wealth, gender, and color can shape and at times create mental and emotional fractures. Verdict: A great title for public and high school libraries looking for books that offer a ­nuanced look at patriarchy, wealth, and gender dynamics. - School Library Journal (starred review)

Bromfield may have made a name for herself for her role on Riverdale, but with this debut, about a volatile father-daughter relationship and discovering the ugly truths hidden beneath even the most beautiful facades, she is establishing herself as a promising writer . . . this is a must. - Booklist (starred review)

Hurricane Summer is a gorgeous story that radiates with resilience and bravely drops hard truths. Asha Bromfield will take readers by storm in her captivating debut about discovering yourself when your world is out of control. -- Adam Silvera, bestselling author of They Both Die at the End

A powerful coming of age story. - Frolic Media

Searingly beautiful, heartfelt, and full of strength. I could not put it down and even when done, I held it tight to my heart. Bromfield is the storm we've all been waiting for. -- Tiffany D. Jackson, bestselling author of Grown and Monday's Not Coming

Sharp observations about cultural difference, class implications, economic privilege, and colorism . . . accessible yet sumptuous. - The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books

Readers will be swept away by Bromfield's lyrical storytelling and thought-provoking insight. - Barnes and Noble

Stunningly written. An unflinching coming-of-age novel that bravely demands an audience to the cost of life's pain & the rewards of all its beauty. Wow. -- Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie
