The summer she left
James Summerville never thought summer camp would change his life, but when he met Aphrodite at Miss Nicole's Academy for Troublesome Children, everything shifted. The two teenagers shared an undeniable bond, rooted in laughter, secrets, and a yearning to escape their broken worlds. However, their connection ran deeper than love; it was forged in the shadows of despair.
As they navigate young love, their world spirals out of control-trapped between the fleeting joys of life and the haunting pull of the abyss. Aphrodite carries a burden too heavy for her heart to hold, and James, lost in his own battles, tries to save her from the dark thoughts whispering in her ear. But some paths, once chosen, are impossible to turn back from.
Told through the intertwining perspectives of two souls on the brink, The Summer She Left explores the fragility of life, the intensity of first love, and the devastating impact of losing someone you thought you could save. Can love survive the edge of oblivion, or will it plunge them both into the depths?
