Ross is hoping to find the last thing his mother left behind...one of the only things not destroyed in the fire. He's been compiling the stories that his mother told him for years now, and he hopes to use them to find the answers-and the necklace-that he's looking for. So they both head to the lake for vacation. Wynn's father hopes that the lake will help her reconnect with nature-and with herself-before she heads off to college. Ross hopes to explore the location of his parent's honeymoon, and to experience the setting of his mother's stories in person. What neither of them expect, however, is each other. Crossing paths, Ross and Wynn discover something that will change their lives forever. Through their week spent as next door neighbors in two small cabins on a lake, they realize that grief is magnetic, and that life isn't meant to be lived alone.

Some prose personal to me. This was a final project for one of my undergrad English classes, and someone told me I should share it online, so here it is. I was particularly inspired by Ocean Vuong's On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous. A while ago I wrote a bunch of letters to my exes with no intention of ever sending them. Yet...one day in my mailbox I uncovered one answer after the other.

Every summer, the island of Ibiza fills with people looking to become someone else for a season. For Marco, a bartender at a cliff-top bar in Sant Josep, that is exactly the point. For four years the island has given him what he needed most: anonymity, routine, and the unspoken agreement that nobody asks questions. Then Isla Voss walks in. She is a wealthy Dutch regular who comes to Ibiza for the light, not the parties. Quietly watchful, self-contained, and carrying something she has been carrying for a long time. She orders without looking at the menu. She tips without looking at the amount. She comes back the next evening, and the one after that. What follows is a slow, charged summer of cliff-top evenings, hidden coves, and candlelit dinners in the ancient walled town. Two people who are drawn to each other in spite of themselves, circling something neither of them is quite ready to name. But Marco is keeping a secret. And the longer the summer runs, the more the secret costs him. My Summer in Ibiza is a slow-burn literary romance set against the heat and beauty of the Mediterranean. It is a novel about the person you were before, the person you became after, and whether love can survive the distance between the two.

Seven ARCs. Two months. Not a single miss. 📚 I don't say that lightly, especially after a summer where I read everything from a wartime thriller dressed up as a cozy series (Death at King's Cross) to a dark comedy about a mob lawyer that somehow gave me real, usable inner child therapy exercises (My Inner Child Wants to Kill, and yes, I did the exercises).
