It’s 2018. Blake Abernathy is living in London when a phone call pulls her back to a life she thought she had left behind.

Back to Buckhorn Lake.
Back to the friends she hadn’t seen in years.
Back to that first summer that changed everything.

Seventeen years earlier, fifteen-year-old Blake arrives at Pine Tree Point Park, certain she doesn’t belong there. Until she meets a boy and a group of friends who change the way she feels about the summer, and herself.

Bonfires. Boat rides. Friendships. First loves.

And something that never quite lets her go.

It was supposed to be simple.

It wasn’t.

Now, back in Ontario after years of running from the choices she made and a past that still haunts her, Blake is forced to decide if she’s ready to finally bury her ghosts, or let them lead her home.

Love Triangle | Childhood friends to lovers | Coming of Age | Nostalgia | Yearning

💭 Currently working on the sequel to All Those Summers as well as a Winter themed Romance that will hopefully come out closer to December/January💖

Since I started this page, I came across so many amazing books by indie authors, and here are a few of my favorites! 🥹🤍

I love showing them extra support because independently publishing a book is no easy feat. Behind every one of these stories is an author who took a chance on their dream and made it happen.

So show these books (and their authors!) some love and add them to your TBR. You won’t regret it… 😜

Have you read any of these? And which indie author should I check out next? 👀

Happy Sunday! ✨

I saw this post earlier this week and loved it, so I decided to make my own version… and it turns out I may have slightly overdone it with the slides. 😂 Oh well! These are the books that live rent-free in my mind, the ones I never stop talking about, and the ones I loved a little too much.

Actually… I might turn this into a series. 👀
What do you think?

Books, characters, tropes, coffee, comfort shows, random obsessions… if I love it, you’re probably going to hear about it. 😂

So, welcome to my little series where you get to know me one favorite at a time. 🤍

What should I add to the next one? 👇🏼
