i've spent every summer of my life at the same lake house, with the same two people. kit calloway, who makes everything feel easy. and rosie brennan, who makes everything feel like it might fall apart.
they've always been there. we've always been us. the summers three. but this summer feels different. kit's taller. rosie's cooler. and i'm not sure who i am between them anymore.
we stay out too late. we swim until we can't feel our fingers. we pretend we don't notice the things we're not saying.
i love them both in different ways. maybe the same way. i'm not trying to make a choice. i'm just trying to figure out if any of us are still who we used to be. or if this is the summer everything breaks.
and if you want to know who i choose-
or if i choose anyone at all-
you'll have to keep reading.

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.
