When the Sky Blooms

By: Jones, Arla

Some summers don't end. They root themselves in you.

After her mother's funeral, Margot returns to the town she once tried to leave behind. The streets feel familiar, yet distant-and so do the people who shaped her summers. Among them is Eli, the boy who once kissed her in a wild field at the edge of town, a place untouched by time and memory.

That summer afternoon, their world felt infinite. They talked, they laughed, and they kissed like the future belonged only to them. But beneath the sunlit grass, secrets were already taking root. Eli didn't speak up when it mattered. Katy, the girl they both knew, became the silent victim of their unspoken truths.

Years later, as old lies fold in on themselves, Margot must confront the choices that shaped her youth-and the people who never said what they should have. The past isn't gone. It waits in fields where the grass grows back, in skies that bloom, and in the fragile memory of a love that taught her how to remember.

Perfect for readers of Celeste Ng, Jojo Moyes, and John Green.

For fans of bittersweet, emotional romance and stories of love, memory, and small-town secrets.
