Seventeen-year-old Cat Kelty should be spending her last summer before year 12 buried in books, prepping for the future she’s determined to claim. Instead, she’s trapped in a house with rowdy brothers, mortifyingly affectionate parents, and a cantankerous Nonna. Then, to make things worse, Paul GD Lightwood—a walking surfer god, King of the Neanderthals, all abs and an infuriatingly disarming smile—shows up to work for her father. Cat’s plan is simple: escape this testosterone-fueled town and never look back. But life—and Paul—have other ideas. Salty hot chips, beach parties, swimming beyond the breakers —Summer, in Between is a funny, heartwarming story about first love, family, and finding where you belong.
