Just Another Summer is a Queer YA Romcom About First Love, Identity, and the Summer That Changed Everything

Posted on by

One summer, far from the Hollywood spotlight, two teen celebrities confront love, labor, and new possibilities they never expected… Mad Cave Studios’ YA imprint Maverick has announced Just Another Summer, a queer and trans-friendly romantic comedy from writers Tilly Bridges and Susan Bridges, featuring artwork by AoiG. and Giulia Rinaldo, with colors by Valentina Briski and lettering by Chas! Pangburn.

When scandal sidelines two LA teen celebrities, a punishment summer on a Montana farm forces them to trade red carpets for rubber boots—and to choose between the futures they were raised for and the loves they never saw coming.

Eager for a break from their brutal schedules as A-list actors, teen sisters Hayley and Becky Huxley sneak out to experience LA on their own terms. After a big mistake gets them fired from their gig on a hit TV show, they’re sent to a dairy farm in Montana to learn a little humility!

Sparks fly when they meet farm hand Jake, who can’t believe he has to babysit some pampered rich girls all summer! But Becky’s very into the cute girl at the local diner, and Hayley and Jake start to realize that they have more in common than they think. Even though she’s a cis city girl and he’s a trans country boy — they might just be falling for each other. But they’re from entirely different worlds, it could never work! …or could it?

Just Another Summer arrives in bookstores and comic shops on August 4, 2026.
