Nick Watson is a 19 year old kid, living in the streets of Philadelphia. When his parents found him on South Street, collapsed from an overdose, they enrolled him in a rehab and vowed to never speak to him again, unless he changes his ways. In the rehab, Nick gets assigned to a group therapy meeting every day, for 30 days. The volunteer therapist is an 18 year old college student, named Emily, trying to pick up extra college credits. Emily assigns a task for everyone in the group; they have to write about their life in rehab for the next 30 days. The goal is to finish the book, proving that you have been clean for 30 days, and read the book to your support system at "graduation." Struggling, Nick fears his book will not be finished due to his lack of self control.

Nineteen-year-old JJ Hart has spent his entire life promising himself one thing: he will never become his mother. After years of heroin addiction, failed recoveries, and broken promises, his mother returns home from rehab insisting this time will be different. JJ doesn't believe her. And yet, when another devastating relapse shatters what little hope he had left, JJ can't control the anger he's spent his life trying to contain. Watching it all happen is Alexis Morales, JJ's lifelong best friend. After growing up caring for her immigrant mother after her father abandoned them, Alexis feels like she understands the weight of JJ's burdens. Secretly in love with him, she's determined to save him from himself. But then JJ meets Carly Fitzgerald, a newcomer who begins to challenge everything JJ believes about himself. Her budding relationship with JJ forces Alexis to confront a painful question: what happens if the people we love the most are the ones we cannot rescue? "If We Survive the Summer" is an emotional, angsty coming-of-age story about addiction, abuse, poverty, trauma, and the baggage we inherit from our parents. It takes place in a small beach town in North Carolina and follows four best friends. Fans of the Boys of Tommen series and OBX will enjoy this story.
