No Summer Without August

Sometimes it takes courage to let love in

Two children who share a love of books. Twelve summers growing up together. One decision that changes everything. And ten days to write a new chapter.

Charlie left her hometown on the East Coast of the USA many years ago. Now she hears that her childhood friend August’s grandmother has died and left Charlie her bookshop. But August is the reason Charlie went away in the first place. When she sees August again, feelings and memories that Charlie has long since repressed start to come back to the surface. The more stubbornly she tries to stop them, the more she realises that she has to confront the past – and her feelings for August.
