It Was a Good Summer

I Would for You: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A sun-drenched beach romance about summer flings, lost love, and growing up. For fans of Jenny Han.

Augusta “Gus” Bowles and her friends get to spend one last summer together on the beaches of Cape Cod before college begins and everything changes forever.

After a tumultuous senior year, blowing up her relationship with her loyal ex-boyfriend Fish and falling hard for Reed, Gus barely made it to the summer with her heart intact… well, mostly. She’s ready for her self-proclaimed “Summer of Independence,” a time of sundresses, late-night bonfires, and beach days with her best friends Emma, Sloan and Becca.

When Reed throws a wrench in the plans and ends up on the Cape, Gus can’t deny their connection and her newfound independence doesn’t stand a chance. As new friendships bloom, old loves die hard, and the strongest relationships fall apart, the girls are left to wonder who is meant to stay in your life, who gets left behind, and who will be there forever?

This summer Gus is one step closer to adulthood, as she starts to realize the hardest truth about growing up: just when you think you’ve got it figured out, there’s another lesson around the corner.

Author

Jennifer Gannett is an author. Finally. She wrote many things prior to I Would for You, including, but not limited to: short stories, mostly about dogs until her parents broke down and got her one, poems for every holiday and birthday because her elementary school budget was limited and most likely spent at Scholastic Book Fairs, and later love letters to boys, which she never signed for fear of being implicated. She mostly writes at hockey rinks and horse shows—which would explain why some characters have horse names—loving both locations equally, but horse shows are typically warmer. She lives outside of Boston with her husband, three children, and two quirky, sweet, black dogs (both are quirky, only one is sweet).
