It's Not Summer Without You

When summer feels like it might be slipping away forever, Belly returns to Cousins Beach desperate to fix what's broken between her and the boys she loves—especially Conrad, who's been pulling away since his mom got sick again. She's determined to recapture the magic of past summers, but the weight of loss and growing up hangs over everything, making her realize that love isn't always as simple as wanting someone back. With Jeremiah by her side and Conrad's ghost haunting every corner of the beach house, Belly has to figure out what it means to hold on, let go, and maybe find something new in the process. This is a bittersweet, emotionally rich exploration of love, family, and what happens when the things we cherish most start to slip through our fingers.
