My Ratings 4.4/5
Synopsis
It's 1983 and eleven-year old Cat Rossi watches the launch ramp at her father's marina where dozens of trucks patiently wait to back their boats into the shallow water. They're out-of-towners, Paychecks, her brother likes to call them because they bring the money. But just for the summer.
Cat's used to the carousel of part-time friends until she meets Will Henderson, the only son of a wealthy doctor. They bond over ice cream and pinky promises, and when August ends, Will vows he'll be back. Cat's not counting on it; things change, people do too, but when Will eventually returns to the marina, they quickly fall back into their easy friendship.
Every year, Cat waits for Will to return to the marina for the summer, and every year their connection is tested as they wade the awkward waters of adolescence into adulthood.
My Thoughts
Trying to find your place in the world is hard. Add hormones, first loves, and family drama into the mix, and growing up can feel like an impossible task — it’s no wonder so many of us try to put it off! But like it or not, we all have to grow up at some point, and as the best coming-of-age romantic books prove — despite the challenges of this transitional period — we all emerge in one piece.
In this review, we’ve hand-picked the very best of the genre to bring you For the Summer
by Camille Harte must-read coming-of-age romance book. The book 'reminded' me of a time in my life when I loved deeply, but as so often happen, did not know it was love until it was lost. It was only after years that I realized love can span time, we waste what precious time we have searching for all the wrong things. This book reminded me of that love ... I felt, lost and forever seeking.
This book tells an incredible story that made me look at love and my own adolescence in new, beautiful ways. It takes a lot for me to become invested in a book, but I could honestly read this book within a day or two over and over again. It just takes me to the exact time and place the story is set in and leaves me romanticizing and pondering my own life. Plus, this is a beautiful copy. I highly recommend you give it a try!
