With miles of sandy beach beneath her feet, sunny days in the forecast, and having her twin sister Indigo and best friend Samson to keep her company between working shifts at the gift shop, it seems that the summer will be all smooth sailing. But things become unexpectedly rocky when her ex comes back to town for one last summer after breaking her heart the last. And he's not alone; with his new girlfriend in tow, Delia is left feeling cast adrift in her own hometown. With a bold plan hatched by her sister, Delia convinces Samson to play the role of adoring boyfriend.

But everyone is not as they seem and everything is not as simple as it's made out to be. It's the summer of unforeseen firsts and long awaited lasts. It's the summer that changed it all, and the one that no one will forget.

hexes for exes
EVERY SUMMER, four families make their yearly exodus to the British seaside town of Briarville. For Livia Wong, the trip had been tradition ever since she could remember. Summer was always spent alongside the pristine beaches with the dreamy-hued sunsets. The trip is awaited with anticipation, not fear. Until this year. Livia didn't leave Briarville last year on good terms. It wasn't all her fault, of course not, but she was partially to blame. Being no longer on talking terms with your two closest friends is one thing. Having them as your neighbours for the entire rest of the summer, while your parents and other friends have no idea something is wrong? The plan was simple: Livia was eighteen, about to head to university. If she made it through this summer, she could leave Briarville in the distant past and never have to think about it again. But it was going to be okay. She might not be on talking terms with the Calvert-Egerton twins anymore, and she might have always been on horrible terms with Sarah Hepburn, but she still had Brie and Lila. And her little sister, Pamela. Still, eighteen years of friendship was never something that would simply go down the drain. Livia had some work to do if she wanted to make it out this summer unscathed. Her heart had been broken once, she was not going to let it happen again.

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.
