The Summer We Kept Score: A Sweet Summer Romance
Some summers heal you. Some summers find you. This one did both.
Seventeen-year-old Nora Callahan had her whole life mapped out: a full athletic scholarship to Hartwell, a senior season of butterfly times that would turn coaches' heads, and a clean four year exit from Halcyon Falls, the four-thousand-person town she's been planning to leave since she was old enough to swim.
Then her shoulder tears in April, and the plan goes underwater.
Forced into a summer concession-stand job at the local minor league ballpark, Nora expects to spend the next three months hiding from her future. What she doesn't expect is Eli Reyes, the quiet boy from Chicago who started two weeks before she did, who lines up the hot dog buns with focused precision, who hands her the mustard before she knows she needs it, and who, somehow, sees her without ever asking her to perform.
Between 5AM swims at the lake she's not supposed to be in and shifts spent tracking pitch counts beside someone who pays attention without ever asking her to explain herself, Nora starts to rebuild. Not the plan. Herself.
But the summer is running out. Boston is three weeks away. And the boy who has been silently leaving coffee at her register every shift since June has a life of his own that doesn't run on her timeline.
What do you do when the thing you didn't plan for is the only thing you can't lose?
THE SUMMER WE KEPT SCORE is a slow-burn young adult contemporary romance about identity, recovery, and the kind of summer that changes you in ways you only notice afterward. Perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen, Jenny Han, and Emily Henry.
