the summer of Reese

Twelve-year-old Reese eagerly returns home for the summer, filled with excitement and nostalgia, as she anticipates reuniting with her childhood friends and resuming her usual routines. She imagines her neighborhood's familiar sights and sounds, from the laughter in the park to the scent of her father's home-cooked meals wafting through the air. However, unbeknownst to her, the passage of time brings changes that extend beyond the external world. As Reese returns to her old life, she soon discovers that puberty reshapes her body, relationships, and perceptions. While she hopes everything will feel the same, Reese must navigate the unexpected complexities of growing up and its effects on those around her, including herself.
