The Summers That Changed Us: A Coming-of-Age Novel About Sisters, Friendship, and First Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798245916002)

Some summers are unforgettable.

Others change you forever.

Every summer, Rose returns to an elite camp outside Boston-a place defined by tradition, privilege, and unspoken rules. It's where friendships form fast, secrets spill after lights-out, and everyone pretends they know exactly who they are.

This summer, everything shifts.

Rose arrives as the responsible older sister, used to being the one who holds everything together-especially for Daizy. But as the weeks pass, Daizy begins to step into herself, finding confidence, leadership, and friendships that don't revolve around Rose.

For the first time, Rose is forced to let go.

Pulled into a tight-knit group of girls-Audrey, Genevieve, Liliana, and Isabella-Rose begins to question the role she's always played. Late-night confessions, friendship fractures, forbidden nights by the lake, and unspoken rivalries turn camp into a pressure cooker of emotion and change.

And then there's Henry.

What starts as an easy connection becomes Rose's first real experience of being chosen-not as a caretaker, not as a sister, but as herself. As feelings deepen and the end of camp approaches, Rose must face a truth she's never had to confront before:

Who is she when no one needs her to be in control?

As the final nights at camp unfold, everything comes to a head-sisters redefining their bond, friendships shifting under pressure, and choices that can't be undone. Rose and Daizy learn that growing up doesn't mean growing apart-and that love, friendship, and sisterhood can evolve without breaking.
