The Summer He Never Left

The night he died shattered me.
I've been living in pieces ever since.
So why is he here
ALIVE
Walking the halls like he never left?

Elara Hayes has been haunted by one memory: the wooden boards under their feet at the old town bridge, the shock in Asher's eyes as he slipped, and the silence that swallowed everything after.

As she forces herself to move on, and the world seems to have settled back into its rhythm,
the impossible happens:
He's alive.
Breathing. Laughing.
Walking the school halls like he never left.

Suddenly everyone else remembers a different version of reality.
A summer where Asher never died.
Everyone except Elara.
She remembers the fall, the sirens, his hand letting go of hers.
She remember the funeral, the spiral of grief, the empty desk.

But the boy standing in front of her isn't exactly the Asher she loved.
His memories don't match.
His smile is familiar but wrong.
And sometimes...his reflection glitches.

As Elara is pulled back toward the bridge that broke her life in two, she begins to unravel a truth no one else can feel:
Love doesn't always stay in one reality.
And some boys don't stay dead.

A haunting romance, slow burn supernatural mystery about second chances, parallel timelines, and the terrifying beauty of what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.

Perfect for fan of the Butterfly Effect, Lauren Oliver, Alice Oseman, The Summer I Turned Pretty and anyone who loves tragic boys, cosmic girls, and timelines that don't behave.
