Sixteen-year-old Georgia "Georgie" Carlisle thought she knew what summer felt like, long days, ocean air, late-night drives with the windows down. But when the final school bell rings and she and her tight-knit group of friends tumble into the golden blur of the season, she realizes this summer is different.
It's bonfires on the beach and songs on repeat. It's spontaneous road trips, secret crushes, and trying not to think about the way things are quietly changing. With college, heartbreak, and the weight of growing up on the horizon, Georgie documents it all-every messy, magical, unforgettable moment.
Summer Was Ours is a love letter to friendship, first freedom, and the bittersweet beauty of a summer you'll never get back... but will never forget

[SEQUEL TO COASTING] When Jamie Prescott returns to the small beach town to live with her Aunt Monica the summer after her freshmen year at college, she's not quite sure what to expect. With her family finally doing well back in California, going back to the North Carolina coast, her home away from home and a place that helped her find herself when everything around her was falling apart, seemed the obvious choice for how to spend her vacation.

"We were Kings, us Wellfleet kids. We were at the very tip of the world and nothing could touch us. Starlight buzzed along our skin while fire gleamed in our eyes and the music pounded through our blood. It was a dream come to reality, it was fairyland achieved, and we were drunk on power and innocence and freedom."Complete
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.
The Summer I Turned Pretty
Every summer, Bells returns to the same beach house-the same ocean breeze, the same bonfire nights, and the same two boys who've always been part of her world. Conrad, quiet and unreadable, the one who makes her heart race without even trying. Jeremiah, warm and effortless, the one who makes her laugh until her stomach hurts. But this summer feels different. The air is heavier, the nights longer, and the feelings harder to hide. Between childhood memories, family traditions, and first loves, Bells must decide what she really wants-and who she wants it with. Because this summer? Nothing will ever be the same again #12 in settingComplete
