But considering its painful episodes in a gay conversion camp, you’ll be glad to know you’re at least half wrong.” —Anne Stockwell, NewNowNext.  · “Nick White’s How to Survive a Summer is radiant with contradiction: it's a story about facing up to a devastating past that’s often laugh-out-loud funny; a book about terrible violence that’s lit with the redemptive force of love.
