ABOUT THE BOOK

“Summer Love Autumn Goodbye is an emotional young adult romance that captures the intensity of first love, heartbreak, and growing up too fast, drawing readers into a deeply moving story about sacrifice, resilience, and the connections that refuse to fade with the seasons.” – NewInBooks

Summer Love Autumn Goodbye is an emotional coming-of-age contemporary romance that explores first love, family, addiction, grief, mental health struggles, and the lasting impact one person can have on another’s life.

Fourteen-year-old Marissa spends her summers in a small Wisconsin town, expecting nothing more than time with family and friends. Everything changes when she meets Chad, a troubled but deeply caring young man carrying more burdens than anyone his age should bear. Despite their differences, an unexpected connection forms between them, and what begins as a summer romance quickly becomes something far more meaningful.

As their relationship grows, Marissa is introduced to a world she has never known—one marked by addiction, family conflict, loss, and the difficult realities of growing up too fast. Chad is determined to overcome the mistakes of his past and build a better future, but the challenges surrounding him seem endless. Through every setback and triumph, Marissa stands by his side, believing in the person he is trying to become.

Together, they navigate the joys and uncertainties of young love while facing obstacles that test their strength, loyalty, and resilience. As the seasons change and life pulls them in different directions, both must confront painful truths about love, sacrifice, and the limits of what one person can do to save another.

Perfect for readers who enjoy emotional young adult fiction, realistic contemporary romance, and coming-of-age stories, Summer Love Autumn Goodbye is a poignant journey through the beauty and heartbreak of loving deeply, losing painfully, and learning how to move forward while carrying cherished memories of the past.
