We'll Always Have Summer

Belly Conklin grew up at Cousins Beach believing her life would sort itself out on the sand—because it always had. She loved Conrad first, then built a sweet, easy life with his brother Jeremiah at college. After a shattering secret surfaces at a frat party, Jeremiah offers the fastest fix he can imagine: a ring. Everyone has an opinion, especially Belly’s fierce mother, Laurel. When the Fisher family gathers in Cousins to honor Susannah’s memory, Conrad walks back into the picture and Belly’s heart remembers what it thought it had forgotten. Over one frantic, glittering summer—filled with apartment hunts, wedding binders, fruit-stand peaches, and a bridal shower that softens a hard silence—Belly must make a choice that has been years in the making. This is a tender, honest coming-of-age about first love, second chances, and learning the difference between holding on and holding someone’s hand.
