Cover Crush: The Square Root of Summer
by Harriet Reuter Hapgood
Maybe because today was the first truly warm day of the year but when I saw the gorgeous cover for the Square Root of Summer I immediately was taken with it. Throw in the fact that the book deals with grief, love and the very fraying of the universe and this sci-fi nerd was clicking “want to read” faster than you can say wormhole. Pick up a copy when it releases on May 3rd.
This is what it means to love someone. This is what it means to grieve someone. It’s a little bit like a black hole. It’s a little bit like infinity.
Gottie H. Oppenheimer is losing time. Literally. When the fabric of the universe around her seaside town begins to fray, she’s hurtled through wormholes to her past:
To last summer, when her grandfather Grey died. To the afternoon she fell in love with Jason, who wouldn’t even hold her hand at the funeral. To the day her best friend Thomas moved away and left her behind with a scar on her hand and a black hole in her memory.
Although Grey is still gone, Jason and Thomas are back, and Gottie’s past, present, and future are about to collide—and someone’s heart is about to be broken.
