About this book

Summer in the City When athletic Jamie reluctantly trades her usual summer routine for time in the city with her romance-novel-writing mom, she expects boredom—not butterflies. But then she meets Josh, a charming lacrosse coach who makes her question everything she thought she wanted, especially when her seemingly perfect boyfriend Andrew is waiting back home. Suddenly Jamie's packed schedule of camps and dates becomes a lot more complicated, and she's forced to figure out what her heart really wants beneath all the chaos. This is the perfect summer read for anyone who's ever had their world delightfully turned upside down by an unexpected connection.
