Summer with Sunil

By Alison Lister

Sometimes love can be found in the most surprising places . . .

In Alison Lister's second Lorimer Real Love novel, two kids on holiday, both sure they must be the only queer people for miles, find each other, and sparks fly.

Dominic, a trans teen, is stuck on vacation in sleepy coastal Nova Scotia with their parents, all summer, with no other company. Sunil is all alone in a rented beach house while their dad is off hanging out with his new girlfriend. A chance encounter with Sunil on the beach catches Dominic by surprise, and all of a sudden, their summer doesn't look so bleak.

What follows is a vivid, romantic story full of self-exploration and the gauzy haze of summer love.

Lister's dynamic, realistic characters and the authenticity of their connection are set against the vivid backdrop of Nova Scotia's Atlantic coast.
