Historia
I love him. And I’m pretty sure he loves me back...even though he’s straight. When I first met Carter King, I knew he was something special. I imagined us being together, and we are, but only as friends. Best friends! I’m trying to be cool with that, even though I know he has secrets, and there have definitely been mixed signals. I don’t want a crush to ruin what we already have. Then again, if there’s any chance that we can be together, it’s worth the risk, because Carter could be the love of my life. Or he might be the boy who breaks my heart.

Historia
Felix Love has never been in love — and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many — Black, queer, and transgender — to ever get his own happily-ever-after.

Historia
As his family falls apart day by day, Robin finds himself pulling away from the unquestioned, unexamined life that has been carefully laid out for him. Small acts of rebellion lead to larger questions of what it means to stand on his own. Falling into a fevered triangle with two other outcasts, Todd Spicer and Scott Schatz, Robin embarks on an explosive odyssey of sexual self-discovery that will take him beyond the spring-green lawns of suburbia, beyond the fraying fabric barely holding together his quickly unraveling family, and into a complex future, beyond the world of normal boys.

Resumen del Editor
A searing debut novel centering around a gay-to-straight conversion camp in Mississippi and a man's reckoning with the trauma he faced there as a teen.
Grad student Will Dillard has largely buried memories of the summer he spent at a camp intended to "cure" homosexuality. But when he finds out a horror movie based on the camp is hitting theaters, he's forced to face his past - and his role in another camper's death.
As he recounts the events surrounding his "failed rehabilitation", Will strikes out on an impromptu road trip back home to Mississippi, eventually returning to the abandoned campgrounds to solve the mysteries of that pivotal summer. With a masterful confluence of sensibility and place, How to Survive a Summer introduces an exciting new literary voice from the American South.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“Clear and moving, revealing White’s talent in evoking the complexities of the rural South.” (Publishers Weekly)
“Packed with story and drama.... If Tennessee Williams’s ‘Suddenly Last Summer’ could be transposed to the 21st-century South, where queer liberation co-exists alongside the stubborn remains of fire and brimstone, it might read something like this juicy, moving hot mess of a novel.” (Tim Murphy, The Washington Post)
“White's book looks squarely at these movements and these communities ruled by ignorance and fear, and approaches them with a level of nuance often missing from work by writers or pundits who either have never lived in such communities, or who escaped them at the first chance they were given. Yet what makes White's novel feel so urgent and so fresh, is the startling compassion he evinces for the place on which it centers, the effort that is made to give breadth and humanity to a part of the world both he and his book’s narrator are from, and by which both of them were unavoidably shaped.” (Rolling Stone)

The underground mine fires ravaging Pennsylvania coal country have forced 11-year-old Brigid Howley and her family to seek refuge with her estranged grandparents, the formidable Gram and the black lung-stricken Gramp. Tragedy is no stranger to the Howleys, a proud Irish-American clan who takes strange pleasure in the "curse" laid upon them generations earlier by a priest who ran afoul of the Molly Maguires. The weight of this legacy rests heavily on a new generation, when Brigid, already struggling to keep her family together, makes a grisly discovery in a long-abandoned bootleg mine shaft.

At first sight they are connected. Sam Border wishes he could escape, but there's nowhere for him to run. He and his little brother, Riddle, have spent their entire lives constantly uprooted by their unstable father. As Sam and Riddle are welcomed into the Bells' lives, they witness the warmth and protection of a family for the first time.

But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother's apartment house, called and said her expenses would be paid if she'd fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.

This is Mississippi
I have never read a story that speaks so deeply to the journey most LGBT people travel in the heart of the Deep South. This story is so poignant and touches on so many facets of southern living that many young people are still facing today. It’s like the author somehow wrote my biography as well as so many people I know. It’s a beautiful read and a must for any Mississippian.

A story full of heart and healing
A sometimes hard-to-listen-to but deeply engrossing story of healing, acceptance and second chances. Will is the survivor of a gay conversion camp that he attended while a young boy in Texas. Because he learns that an exploitation movie is going to be made about his time at the camp, Will goes back to face his demons, in the hopes of putting his past behind him and maybe finding a future for himself. It's a real and honest journey.
A note about the narrator, Mr. Crouch. While listening to him, you forget that you are listening to ONE man read these VERY unique and different characters. His characters are so distinct, so easily identifiable and relatable...we feel as though we are in the same room, uneasily eavesdropping on conversations and inner monologues. Mr. Crouch puts us in rooms in which we have no business being. He's amazing, engrossing and talented! I'd love for him to narrate my own life story--if only it were interesting enough. Y'all should check out some of his other work, too.

I literally could not get through it!
What did you like best about How to Survive a Summer? What did you like least?
The narrator.
Has How to Survive a Summer turned you off from other books in this genre?
The stream of consciousness was absolutely impossible to follow.
What about Michael Crouch’s performance did you like?
Narration was good.
Do you think How to Survive a Summer needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I hope not. Not until the author figures out what story they are trying to tell.

For me, it moved s l o w l y.
At first, I couldn’t quite understand what the book was about or where it was going. I’m sure it will make more sense with a second listen. Towards the end though, I kept thinking that we had reached the conclusion, but it k e p t g o i n g.
Crouch, as always, narrates superbly.

An excellent performance of an unfixable book
The Washington Post described this novel as "a Hot Mess" and that might well be understatement. This story of internal redemption if not salvation, surrounding a quasi-horror story about a camp to "cure" gay kids, hidden deep in some toxic and mystical woods in Mississippi, ended up being three discrete stories, none of which were satisfactory.
The reader sits in anticipation of dark reveals to help explain the trauma these 20-something year-old adults faced at the camp as teens. As each layer of revelation is peeled away, the reader gets a shock of either, "What the heck did THAT mean?" or "THAT was it? I waited SIX HOURS and that was it?"
The book is overly long, completely muddled, and has more padding than a sumo wrestler costume. The transitions between present day and flashback are as sharp as a simple paragraph break which tends to pull the listener out of the story to figure out where we are in space and time. Causing a reader to mentally pull out of the story, to escape from the fantasy the author has constructed: that's bad.
The book could have easily ended around 6 hours, or again around 11. White has taken secondary story lines and told them in sequential order rather than sprinkling all in together to make a more enticing read.
The actions of the book: one character's obsession with dying AIDS patients as well as the severe abuses that the children in the novel suffer are placed too far away from current understanding. Even in flashback to an earlier less enlightened time, the scenes are nearly pornographic in their severe violence and hatred. It was painful to listen to and I admit hitting the fast forward button through more than one of the "bash the fag" scenes.
The worst sin off all in this book of writing NOs is that it in the last minutes, it's revealed that this is all a book about writing a book and everything we have experienced, including present-day, has happened in the flashback of a memoirist's eye.
This breaks rule #2 of creative writing 101, of never-using without good cause (surrounded by Losing your virginity (1) and It was all a dream! (3).) Unfortunately this book was no dream or it would have been better.
Next time, we hope White works with a take-no-prisoners editor who will cut out all the useless fluff. This book should have been at least 1/3 to 1/2 shorter. We hope he will write likeable characters (I found myself hating them all!) who have back story motivation for their actions (why in GOD'S name did he throw away his phone!?)
I might listen to his short story collection to see what that's like but it will be a while. My brain needs mental food after slogging through this sweaty morass of a book.
PEEFORMANCE: Five-star good! He handles every voice with aplomb. I even had to double check to make sure Crouch was the only reader in the book. He has the needed regional Southern accent down perfectly (Being from the south I can tell where someone is from - West Texas to West Virginia - by nuances of their voice.) It's correct and not TOO over done. If he narrated the New York phone book I'd buy it!
