My Summer of Hate
α’αααΈααααα βααΆααα‘ααααα
The summer of 1997 changed everything.
In the sun-scorched suburbs of Orange County, Tim is a straight-edge guitarist on the rise with his hardcore band, Augmented. Life is all about music, loyalty, and Erikaβthe girlfriend who grounds him. But as cultural shifts begin to ripple through his once-familiar neighborhood, Tim finds himself swept up in a tide of identity, anger, and fear.
What begins as youthful rebellion spirals into something darker when Tim and his friends struggle to define whatβs theirsβand who belongs. My Summer of Hate is a brutally honest coming-of-age novel that examines race, music, loyalty, and the fragile line between belonging and division. With raw emotion and biting realism, Evan Jacobs captures the turmoil of a young man torn between comfort and change, friendship and truth.
One summer. One choice. One path that canβt be undone.
