Nothing ever changes here

Can first love be an eternal coming back?

Stolen kisses, diving from canoes, pool matches, shooting stars to pin our wishes on if we can’t even confess them to ourselves, and secret crushes revealed in the half-light of a tent. They may sound like the ingredients for a perfect summer, but they’re also everything you need to start a lot of trouble. Sixteen-year-old Nina, who can’t admit she’s in love with her best friend, knows that all too well. What she doesn’t know, though, is that her mother has also experienced those same emotions. Ready to set off on a trip back and forward in time, at a campsite where the same summer seems to last forever?

• Summer romances are unique – so intense that sometimes a whole winter isn’t enough to forget them. The parallel between Nina’s love story and her mother’s adds emotional depth, drawing the reader into a summer tale that echoes The Summer I Turned Pretty — a heartfelt blend of romance, laughter, and quiet moments of reflection.
• Told from two viewpoints, one male.
