Synopsis

In this fun and fresh sequel to Saints and Misfits, Janna hopes her brother’s wedding will be the perfect start to her own summer of love, but attractive new arrivals have her more confused than ever.

Janna Yusuf is so excited for the weekend: her brother Muhammad’s getting married, and she’s reuniting with her mom, whom she’s missed the whole summer.

And Nuah’s arriving for the weekend too. Sweet, constant Nuah. The last time she saw him, Janna wasn’t ready to reciprocate his feelings for her. But things are different now. She’s finished high school, ready for college…and ready for Nuah. It’s time for Janna’s (carefully planned) summer of love to begin—starting right at the wedding.

But it wouldn’t be a wedding if everything went according to plan. Muhammad’s party choices aren’t in line with his fiancée’s taste at all, Janna’s dad is acting strange, and her mom is spending more time with an old friend (and maybe love interest?) than Janna. And Nuah’s treating her differently.

Just when things couldn’t get more complicated, two newcomers—the dreamy Haytham and brooding Layth—have Janna more confused than ever about what her misfit heart really wants. Janna’s summer of love is turning out to be super crowded and painfully unpredictable.

Goodreads review by Kelly on January 09, 2014

This is a work of art in the form of a book filled with imagery , meditations, musings, lessons, whispers, and Katherine. It is a book that needs be handed to each and every one of us to be read in one whoosh and then in small sips throughout life as each of us walks, stumbles, and toddles along li......more

This book was a delight to read. Normally I'm not one for 'fanciful' prose, but this book is beautiful from start to finish.* Not just the words inside, but the book itself--beautiful. It was sent to me wrapped in butcher paper and tied with string, with a feather and a note card attached to it. I a......more

I don't know if I can properly express what this book means to me... and how much I loved/love it. Katherine Dunn's artwork reaches my soul; that is how I came to 'find' her. Seeing her artwork in a book about creative folks. But discovering the beauty and magick of the Misfits and Apifera Farm thro......more

Goodreads review by Cat on December 01, 2013

I found myself deeply and unexpectedly moved by Katherine Dunn's story of her father's death and life on the farm where she has adopted and cares for once neglected donkeys and goats. The book is filled too with her drawings and photographs. It was nice to see the animals about whom she writes. Thro......more

Ms. Dunn's book of grief, loss, strength and hope is touching without being sappy, and beautifully illustrated with the author's own photographs and artwork. A lovely book for anyone dealing with life's difficult moments, and for any animal lover. I loved this one.......more
