Summer mess by luvstoriss

Elina began the summer full of love and excitement, savoring quiet mornings with her boyfriend, Wilmer, and the comfort of their closeness. But when Wilmer leaves for a hockey tournament, loneliness creeps in-and with it, unexpected attention from his younger brother, Liam. As playful banter turns into late-night confessions, and care becomes undeniable chemistry, Elina finds herself torn between the love she thought was unshakable and feelings she can't ignore. When betrayal shatters her world, Liam becomes her anchor-but the consequences of desire and heartbreak are impossible to escape. By the end of summer, loyalties are tested, trust is broken, and Elina must choose: cling to what was, or step into a future she never expected. A story of love, loss, and the complicated pull of the heart, This Summer, Everything Changed will linger long after the last page.

Beneath the sunburn by billitrist

~ A luxury cruise. A private island. A summer escape before everything changes.... But when you mix lovers, crushes, rivals, friends, and strangers... tension rises fast - and nothing stays hidden for long. Because beneath the laughter and tan lines, beneath the hookups and the parties, everyone's hiding something. And paradise has a way of peeling you back. one layer at a time.

Not good for you by mandydelaney

"This was just supposed to be summer fun. That was what we agreed on." I tried to talk to him as he was vigorously shaking his head, tearing his gaze away from me.

Back When the Air Smelled like Sunscreen by annaanna2011

A Romance/Drama/Coming of age story about a bunch of teenagers spending the summer together. At the beach that held their summer, five friends drift closer to the edge of something they can't name. Alanna laughs too loudly, swims until her lungs burn, and keeps pretending the world didn't shatter months ago. Mateo fixes what he can-boats, cabins, people-and looks away before anyone catches him staring at her. Romeo turns every silence into a performance, trying to keep the spotlight from slipping to the quiet moments that hurt too much. Between bonfires, broken bottles, and the kind of nights that make everything feel possible, their friendship starts to blur at the edges. Love hides in the pauses, jealousy in the jokes, and by the end of summer, nothing they've built will look the same.

Not a Fairytale But Theirs by pearlfiction

A summer encounter changes everything. In a world where brilliance often comes at the cost of loneliness, a quiet, haunted boy finds an unexpected companion in the new girl who carries sunlight wherever she goes. As friendship blossoms through shared silences, music, and unspoken understanding, they discover the healing power of connection, the weight of expectations, and the fragile beauty of first love. Years later, when life has taken them from classrooms to success and recognition, the boy remembers the girl who gave him back more than he ever thought he'd lost-and love that had quietly, fiercely endured. This story is not a fairytale... it's about resilience, and being there for each other.

Colours of The Summer by SaraBaileeWheeler

Some people break your heart. Others teach you how to carry the pieces. Sam isn't looking for drama - she's still trying to breathe after the kind of heartbreak that leaves echoes in every hallway. But when a mysterious classmate starts messaging her under a ridiculous username, when old feelings resurface at the worst possible time, and when a summer trip throws everything off balance, Sam begins to wonder if it's possible to start over - even when you're not ready. As friendships shift, secrets unravel, and her heart pulls in more than one direction, Sam learns that healing doesn't come all at once. Sometimes, it comes in unexpected laughs, second chances, and the quiet strength to choose yourself. A story about letting go, falling again, and the small, brave steps toward something new.

It Began In Italy | ✔️ by moonlighttkisscs

One last trip with her family before she goes to University. Her intentions for this trip were to spend every minute making memories and savouring the last moments she'd get with her family before she moved away. She did this, just not with who she had planned. In the Italian sun it's easy to make rash decisions and to have a lapse in judgement. Especially when a man, you've only just met, comes into play. When he's showing you the island and teaching you Italian, how can you not fall madly in love? With three weeks to spend, will she let herself fall head over heels for a guy she will most likely never see again, or will she stick with her former plan and come to her senses?
