“A fun read written in a comfortable, conversational style.” -Kirkus Reviews

The Goodbye Summer is also available in Spanish.

Caroline can't wait for summer to end so that she and her older boyfriend, Jake, can run away together. She decides to spend her last summer at home saving money working at the local aquarium gift shop--and spending all the rest of her time hanging with Jake.

Then she meets Georgia, a counselor at the aquarium camp. Georgia weaves her way into Caroline's life and suddenly the summer feels a lot less lonely.

The stronger Georgia and Caroline's bond grows, the more uneasy Caroline becomes about her plans to leave. When summer comes to a close, she will have to say goodbye to someone...but who is she willing to lose?
