| Publisher Description: For Kate Sommers, there's nothing that compares to summer at her family's beach house on Cape Cod: the ocean breezes, the clam bakes, the boys. She and her three sisters seemed to have all their "firsts" over those long months--first job, first party, first crush. Kate's first crush is her only crush--Ryan Landry, the boy next door, and her older sister Eliza's on-again, off-again summer fling. But it's been three years since Kate and her sisters have spent a summer in Cape Cod. When their mom died, no one could imagine going back without her. Now eighteen, the whole Sommers family is headed to the Cape for Eliza's wedding and Kate must find the strength to be there for her family. When Kate spots Ryan, she realizes how much has changed since he last set eyes on her. She isn't the gawky fifteen-year-old that she once was, and this could be the summer that Ryan finally takes notice. Eliza says she's moved on, but Kate knows better than anyone that Ryan Landry isn't the kind of guy you give up without a fight... |
Contributor Bio(s): Palmer, Iva-Marie: - Despite being born on the first day of summer long before too much sun was considered bad for you, Iva-Marie Palmer possesses no capacity to achieve a decent tan (or its cousin, the sun-kissed glow). Still, she relocated from her native Chicago to sunny Southern California nearly ten years ago and only regrets the choice on the rare occasions when she forgets to apply sunscreen. A former journalist who oversubscribes to periodicals, she loves books, running, cooking and eating elaborate meals, classic screwball comedies, food sold off carts and trucks, old movie palaces, word games and crossword puzzles, adventures large and small, indulging her curiosity, and overextending herself. She lives with her husband, son, and a seeming inability to take her sunglasses off her head when indoors. You can find her online on Facebook, Twitter (follow @ivamarie), and at www.ivamariepalmer.com. |
