The Last Summer We Were Us
They thought they had a lifetime together. Then one summer changed everything.
At twenty-four, Mara has everything she needs to be happy: a tiny apartment, a promising career, and Ben, the man she wants to grow old with. Their life isn't perfect, but it's theirs. They have plans for a house, a future, and all the ordinary moments they believe are still waiting for them.
Then Ben collapses during a summer afternoon, and a devastating diagnosis changes everything.
At twenty-seven, Ben is facing an aggressive brain cancer that threatens the future they have always taken for granted. Suddenly, the couple who once worried about bills, careers, and where to live must confront questions neither is prepared to answer.
As hospital appointments replace carefree weekends, Mara and Ben struggle to preserve the relationship they cherish. Between stolen kisses, difficult conversations, family gatherings, and dreams they refuse to surrender, they discover that love isn't measured only in years.
But even the deepest love cannot promise forever.
Told through the alternating perspectives of two unforgettable young lovers, The Last Summer We Were Us is a deeply emotional story of devotion, courage, marriage, heartbreak, and the extraordinary meaning hidden within ordinary moments.
A tender, heartbreaking novel about loving someone through life's most difficult journey-and finding the strength to carry that love forward.
Perfect for readers who enjoy powerful tearjerkers, emotional contemporary fiction, tragic love stories, and unforgettable novels about love and loss.
