Summer Of Second Chances

Summer of Second Chances by K.L. Walther is a tender YA contemporary romance that pairs sun-soaked holiday escape with the ache of loving someone you’re slowly losing. Olivia Lupo feels left behind while her friends start college, choosing to stay close to her grandmother Annie as dementia changes their days.

A three-week trip to Martha’s Vineyard sounds impossible—until Olivia finds a box of Annie’s old photos and mementos from her own island summers. Drawn by those snapshots of who Annie was, Olivia sets out to retrace her grandmother’s steps, stitching past and present together in quieter, meaningful ways.

On the island, Olivia runs into Connor, a boy from her past who’s grown into someone offering possibility, not pressure. Between family, memory, and first love, she must work out what it means to hold on and what it might look like to move forward.

Perfect for readers who love heartfelt coming-of-age stories, beach reads, and emotional family themes—add this one to your basket and take the trip.
