About this listen
A summer she can't remember.
A friendship she won't forget.
Nothing much happens in Sycamore, the small village where Clara lives—at least, that's how it seems. She loves eating ripe mangoes fallen from trees, running outside in the rainy season and escaping to her secret hideout with her best friend Gaynah. There's only one problem: she can't remember anything about the previous summer.
When a quirky girl called Rudy arrives from England, everything starts to change. Gaynah stops acting like a best friend, while Rudy and Clara roam across the island and uncover an old family secret. As the summer reaches its peak and the island storms begin, Clara's memory starts to return and she must finally face the truth of what happened last year.

Nice family drama
Loved the story line, The Caribbean setting of superstition mixed in with real life was a twist for me didn't suspect it lol. Very enjoyable listen.

Colourful, atmospheric and surprising.
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU MANGOS by Kereen Getten is a wonderful, atmospheric and surprising MG+ story. It’s about family, community, loss and forgiveness. It’s mysterious and colourful, and fiercely narrated by Sarah Novak.

Loved the sense of a close net community and the support from both Mum and Dad. You could tell the healthy family bond

Brilliant
Yet again so much humanity, compassion and normal people getting it wrong, but finding their way back. Lively and thoughtful.

DNF the physical, tried again in audio
ngl, I picked this up because of the beautiful cover, flipped it over, saw it set in Jamaica and wanted to give it a try. At 5 hours and included in membership, I don't regret it, but I think I would if I had paid. There are pacing issues, and although the twist gives it reread value, it's just not for me. Very little happens. But if you enjoy books about children processing things write from their perspective with very little understanding, then this is for you I guess. (ngl, I read books like this at 12 and still didn’t find the outbursts relatable or believable)
