THAT SUMMER FEELING

Mark Hodkinson (Pomona)

That Summer Feeling can quite accurately be labelled as a book of struggle. From girl trouble to family misfortune to a slightly absurd university lecturer, the protagonist deals with a lot in these pages. This is no doom and gloom book, however: Mark Hodkinson walks a fine line, addressing dismal life experiences while comedic interjections never erode the tone of the book’s serious events. Capturing the essence of growing up and overcoming difficult situations, much of what is felt and expressed in this book is something that will be easy to relate to and will definitely resonate with you for a long time after you turned its last page.
