The Last Summer We Were Us

By Madison Brooks

For as long as they can remember, there has been the lake. The dock. The rope swing. Midnight swims. Sunburned afternoons and promises made under stars. Rowan, Ellie, Beck, and June have spent every summer at June's family lake house, certain that no matter what changed, they would always have this place-and one another. But this is the last summer before college, before leaving home, before becoming people they may no longer recognize. Rowan is desperate to escape the version of herself everyone expects. Ellie is trying not to fall apart under the weight of a future she didn't choose. Beck is holding on to a friendship that no longer feels simple. And June is keeping a secret that could shatter everything: by the end of the summer, the lake house will be gone. As long-buried feelings rise to the surface and the truth edges closer, one perfect summer begins to unravel. Because sometimes the hardest part of growing up isn't letting go of a place. It's letting go of the people you were there with.
