Hannah Moskowtiz debut novel Break is still one of my most unforgettable reads, so I couldn't wait to see what her next book would bring. Just like I expected, Moskowitz doesn't hold back the punches!
Invincible Summer is bizarre and real and an absolutely enthralling read!

I don't even know even know where to start. I don't even know how to describe this book.
This book is about a family and running away and standing still, and Camus and sex and sisters and brothers and growing up and the fear the of growing up, and lost and regrets. It's about everything and nothing at the exact same time.

This is a story about a boy named Chase, who has a brother named Noah who likes to run but he wants him to stay. He has a brother named Gideon who's deaf and beautiful. He has a sister named Claudia who might as well be his best friend and another sister named Lucy who will always be Newbaby. And every summer the McGill family goes to there beach house the same time as the Hathaway family and together he shares the events that happens that summer and the next and the next and the next.
Till the one last summer where they just don't know if they can get past the summer before....

This book is just WoW!
I freaken love the way Hannah Moskowtiz writes! Only twenty years old and already she is such a such a terrific, talented and brilliant author. She did this to me in Break and she's done it to me all over again. This women writes the most painful, most intense, most gripping books that makes it so freaken unforgettable. Her writing is powerful and has this intensity to it that her characters and her plots seem to take a life of it's own.
This book shattered my heart into tiny crumbling pieces and I almost want to hate her for it. But instead, I'm in awe. She invokes such an emotional high in me and maybe it's just me, but I love and hate that her books have this kind of power.

Chase reminds me so much of Jonah from Break. He's selfless but wants to be selfish, he's self-sacrificing and he's completely overwhelmed but wouldn't have it any other way. I simply adore the way he looks after his brother and sisters and that's he just a kid who wants so dame much for and from his family.
All the characters are extremely well developed and everyone of them just as unforgettable. Especially Gideon!

The blurb is all wrong for this book, it's not a romance story. At all. It's about one particular family and what happens to them each summer. It's about sex and while it's not graphic it's still raw. But most of all it's about sisters and brothers and even though all family are messed up and confusing, in the end, they still have each other.

Filled with incredible heart, an achingly powerful plot and hands down the most unforgettable faces, this my friends was a brilliant read!
