1 part Ongoing Mature"What begins but has no end, and ends all that begins?"
A riddle that once stumped me but now I wish I never knew the answer. It took eighteen years-and a terminal diagnosis-for Alina Doe to finally learn the answer.
Alina Doe, a cute, short and curvy girl, spent her whole life wishing to have an adventure into the great unknown but all of that changed when she turned 18. However, that didn't stop her from having her last summer after graduating.
After graduating high school, Alina is supposed to be dreaming about her future. Instead, she's counting the weeks she has left. When an unexpected summer in California offers her one last escape from hospitals, fear, and goodbyes, Alina decides to live the life she always dreamed of-just for a little while.
Sun-drenched days, late-night laughter, and stolen moments blur the line between living and falling in love. But as her feelings grow, so does the truth she can't outrun: some loves are meant to be felt, not kept.
The Last Summer is a bittersweet story about friendship, first love, and learning that even the shortest lives can leave the deepest marks.
What will happen to Alina?
Will she find what she's looking for?
Or will the thing she's looks for find her?
