For fans of John Green and Dustin Thao, The Summer After You is an achingly beautiful story of first love, loss, and letting go.
Ever since her older brother Emmet died, Josie Palmer’s life has felt like it’s on pause. She failed to graduate high school, her house is far too quiet, and the brother-shaped hole in her life only seems to be growing.
When Josie reconnects with Raf—Emmet’s annoyingly hot best friend—she’s confronted with her years-long crush as well as someone who knows exactly what she’s going through. Raf’s easy smile and calming presence make life feel just a little bit lighter again. But as they grow closer, and Josie attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding Emmett's death, she realizes that Raf might be keeping secrets too.
Each clue that Josie finds makes her brother feel like more of a stranger—and she may have to make peace with the fact that there are some parts of Emmet she’ll never be able to recover.
Reviews
“The Summer After You is a tender, deeply moving story about the people we lose, the parts of them we never knew, and the unexpected ways love can emerge from even our deepest grief. Heartbreaking without ever losing its warmth, I couldn’t help but root for Josie and Raf as they found their way toward each other — and toward a future they never imagined possible.” —Alexandra Brown Chang, New York Times bestselling author of By Invitation Only
“This is a beautiful meditation on grief, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to love people not as we imagined them to be, but as they truly are.” —Deborah Crossland, author of The Quiet Part Out Loud
