The innocence of first love and the challenges of coming of age shaped some of the best shows released between the 90s and 2000s. And amid productions like Felicity, Dawson’s Creek, The OC and Gilmore Girls, there has always been a restlessness feminine. Insecurities, love dilemmas, and internal strife drove the episodes, helping a new wave of teenagers grow and develop amid their own conflicts.
And the summer that changed my life is like a cool southern breeze from the two decades. Delicate, sensitive and passionate, the series is a sweet and charming gift, in a sea of forced, hypersexualized and repetitive juvenile series.
