Where Summer Left Us

Hallow's End, Book 2

He was my first love. My first heartbreak. And the one I never really got over.

Six years ago, I left Hallow’s End to chase big-city dreams–just like James said I should. Now I’m back, burned out and completely unprepared to face the man who let me go.
Once upon a time, he promised me forever.
Now, he pretends nothing ever happened between us. But I know better.
James is familiar enough for me to know he’s hurting–even if he doesn’t realize it himself.
And I’m not sure I can walk away a second time.

Where Summer Left Us is a slow-burn, small-town, second-chance romance filled with childhood nostalgia, heartbreak, healing, and the kind of love that never really leaves you. Dual POV, first person narrative.

N.B. While Where Summer Left Us is a lighthearted story of love, friendship, and second chances, it also touches on real-life challenges, including mental health struggles and emotional growth.

I love second chances!!

Lots of emotions in this story. The girls are so funny together, and James! Oh, James! What an emotional roller coaster! Fell in love with this guy.

Narration Kept the Story Interesting

Story was predictable and lovely. The audio narration immediately pulled me in from the beginning. Oh how I LOVED the snarky commentary on her roommate’s routine! Definitely kept drawing me back to listen to the end.
