💔 Summer Love, Autumn Goodbye: A Story About Young Love, Second Chances & Letting Go

We all have that one summer — the one that changes everything. For Marissa, it started with sunshine, freedom, and a boy she never saw coming.

Marissa has always followed the rules. She gets good grades, stays involved in every school activity, and spends her time outside the classroom babysitting her little sister. She’s the “good girl” — the one who always does what’s expected.

But summer is different. Summer is escape. Every year, she travels over 200 miles to stay with her grandparents, where life moves slower and expectations feel a little lighter.

That’s where she meets Chad.

Fresh out of juvenile detention, Chad is trying hard to put his life back together. He’s juggling school and raising his infant son — all while carrying the weight of his past. He’s rough around the edges, serious, and guarded… and everything Marissa has never known.

And yet, somehow, they just fit.

Their summer together is intense and unforgettable — a connection that runs deeper than either of them expected. But when summer ends, so does the bubble they’ve built. The distance, the responsibilities, and the real world catch up quickly.

As they struggle to hold on to what they had, both Marissa and Chad are forced to confront who they are, what they want, and what they’re willing to sacrifice.

Summer Love Autumn Goodbye is a bittersweet, emotional story about first love, second chances, and growing up before you’re ready. If you’ve ever fallen for someone the world told you not to — or had to walk away even when your heart begged you to stay — this book is for you.
