The Summer I Met Him
It was the summer of 1988.
Hannah Kensington was nearly fifteen when her best friend, Elizabeth, introduced her to Ryan Matthews in a tiny gas station booth where he worked on Reisterstown Road. He was nineteen, impossible not to notice, and from the moment he smiled, she knew she had met someone she would never quite forget.
What followed was a summer of Ocean City bike rides, Ryan's red Honda CRX with The Cure playing through the speakers, stolen kisses, evenings at the Haunted Mansion, and believing summer would last forever.
But Ryan never said the words she longed to hear.
As distance, silence, and uncertainty settled between them, Hannah found herself asking the question that would stay with her forever:
What did she really mean to him?
Then, just when Hannah believed she understood how their story would end, life changed in a way neither of them could have imagined.
The Summer I Met Him is the first book in the First Love: A Memoir series-a deeply personal true story of first love, missed timing, heartbreaking loss, resilience, and the extraordinary way one person can echo through a lifetime.
For anyone who has ever found themselves wondering what if, this is where the journey begins.
