Aimee Friedman

Aimee Friedman writes fiction for young readers and has also worked as a children's book editor. Two Summers follows sixteen-year-old Summer Everett through two possible versions of the same season: one in France after she boards a flight, and another in New York after she misses it. Friedman's official description frames the split narrative around family secrets, friendship, first love, and the consequences of a single decision. Scholastic identifies the novel as a 2016 publication for teen readers. By alternating between parallel experiences, Friedman lets each Summer encounter different people and pressures while gradually revealing what remains important in either course of events.
