2023 book 54

 Jeanne Thornton's Summer Fun

This was a very cool book about a young trans woman in New Mexico in 2009, writing to the lead singer/songwriter of the band she’s obsessed with—a character very much modeled on Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys—writing about her life, and the history of the band, etc. I am a sucker for epistolary novels and this didn’t disappoint! I did wish we had a little more insight into the narrator but on the whole I loved this story. A/A-.
