the summer of us [conrad fisher X oc]

"just between us, did the love affair maim you too?
'cause in this city's barren cold
i still remember the first fall of snow
and how it glistened as it fell
i remember it all too well"

conrad fisher thought he was finally on the path to recovery. after his breakup with belly, he threw himself into school, routines, and anything that helped numb the ache. healing was slow, fragile - but it was something. until the "for sale" sign appeared on the lawn of the house that held every memory he wasn't ready to lose.

shaken and unsure where to turn, conrad reaches out to someone who's become unexpectedly important: Maya Davis, the friend he met at Brown who sees through him in ways he can't quite explain. what starts as a desperate call for help becomes a journey neither of them expected - one that forces them to confront the past he's been running from and the present she's still learning to trust.

as they spend the summer fighting to save what's slipping away, conrad and maya discover that healing doesn't always come from the places you've known the longest, but from the people who choose to stay. together, they learn to navigate broken hearts, shifting futures, and the quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, they can help each other become whole again.

because sometimes the right person walks into your life exactly when everything else is falling apart.

This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents are either a product of my imagination or used fictitiously, and if they do resemble people in reality, living or dead, businesses, events or locals, is an absolute coincidence.
