All the Summers in Between
A story of memory, distance, and finding your way back. Thirteen-year-old Salem is wild, wary, and far too familiar with loneliness. Growing up in a weathered trailer park tucked along the shores of a sleepy lake town in Maine, her days are ruled by her absent mother, her alcoholic father, and the freedom she carves for herself between the pine trees and cracked pavement. Everything changes the summer a wealthy family from New York buys the long-abandoned lakeside manor. With them comes Connell-polite, preppy, and completely out of place. Salem wants nothing to do with him. Neither do the other kids. But Connell, quiet and sincere, doesn't give up. And when Salem finally lets him in, a bond forms-unexpected, magnetic, and lasting. Each summer he returns, and each summer their friendship deepens, tracing the years from adolescence to adulthood in a rhythm all their own. But with Salem's troubled home life threatening to pull her under, and Connell's life of privilege drawing him toward a world far beyond their town, love is never simple. Misunderstandings, mistakes, and the distance of growing up test the fragile thread that ties them together. Still, summer after summer, they find each other. Told in vignettes of sun-drenched days, stolen kisses, and hard truths, All the Summers in Between is a poignant coming-of-age love story about the people who shape us, the places we never forget, and the kind of connection that survives everything in between.
Our Last Summer
"Some summers are meant to last forever, even if only in our memories." In the final summer before everything changes, Alex and Seina reunite in the small beach town where they once spent their childhood together. Every year, they would spend their days at Seina's family's beach house-surfing in the mornings, sitting by the bonfire at night, and dreaming of a future filled with endless possibilities. But this summer is different. Alex has just received a scholarship to study in New York, and this may be his last time here. Meanwhile, Seina is forced to face a harsh truth about her family-one that might mean she'll never return to this place again. As long-buried emotions rise to the surface, Alex and Seina must confront the biggest question of all: Will they let this summer become just a memory, or will they fight to hold onto it? But as the past, love, and family secrets begin to unravel, the happiness of this summer is slowly overshadowed by the realization that some things are meant to end.Concluida
Bliss
Two weeks. Two weeks of sun, sand and stress-free fun. At least that's the package Lizzie was sold. Little does she know, the package was a dream.

Convinced he's still bad news, Lizzie is determined to enjoy every single second of her vacation without him. Just because he's next door doesn't mean they'll cross paths...right?
