Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman

Rumi and Lea were sisters who loved to sing and write and perform their songs together, best friends.

Until a tragic car crash...

As Rumi gets sent away to her aunt's by her mother she has to cope with losing her beloved sister and her mum too.

Whilst away her neighbour Kai and his friends hang out with Rumi but its an elderly neighbour who truly gives her friendship and no messing guidance as she grieves and struggles to accept all that has changed and she has lost.

There's also the fact of finishing the final song they began together, Summer Bird Blue.

Ann emotional story of how to adapt and accept a close death and the Many ways people deal with the turmoil it can lead their lives to be affected by. I really liked that Rumi also touches on the fact of not being sure if her sexuality and it made her realistic as a teenager in today's times. A fast flowing hard hitting read.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
