They have summer courts in ACOTAR and the Iron Fey series. And, people get married in the summer, so maybe The Selection, Delirium, and The Matched series. Caraval is summery too. Maybe I have read some books other than contemporaries that fit. =)Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-46542429979355719332017-05-28T22:44:25.071-04:002017-05-28T22:44:25.071-04:00I haven't read any of these, although they are...I haven't read any of these, although they are mostly contemporary, so that doesn't surprise me.
