Melissa Mastro: One Week of July, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Emily Henry's Book Lovers meets K. L. Walther's The Summer of Broken Rules, in this swoony, tender, small-town coming-of-age romance with a dash of bookish nostalgia.

One week. One girl. One love story worth writing about.

Leighton Prescott's future has been mapped out for him since he was a child. There are expectations and reputations to uphold. Unlike his sister, who didn't go to college, following her dream of opening a bakery instead, Leighton has a prestigious scholarship spot at his parents' dream school. And he's looking forward to it... sort of.

He spends his last summer of freedom before he steps onto hallowed university grounds, tending to the Twice Upon a Time bookstore, a childhood sanctuary the whole picturesque town cherishes.

His life is damn near perfect-loving family, loyal friends, big opportunities-but you don't know what you're missing until you find it. When July wanders into the charming little bookstore, she not only steals his heart but also challenges him to confront what he's been avoiding.

Still, she's only passing through, on her way down to Florida to reconnect with her father. Every day could be their last together, and it's too much for sweet, nerdy, golden retriever Leighton to bear.

Leighton must make a choice: follow the narrative that was written for him or become the author of his own story.

Will Leighton get his happy ending or are all happy endings just a work of fiction?

One Week of July is about finding your voice, falling in love, and becoming who you were always meant to be, for fans of summer flings, sweet tension, and "he falls harder" small-town romances.
