Set against a vibrant Jersey Shore backdrop and bursting with summertime romance, hometown nostalgia, smart humor, female friendship, and millennial angst, TODAY Show journalist Francesca Cocchiās dual-timeline teenage-crush-to-adult-lovers debut is the perfect beach read for fans of Anabel Monaghan, Carley Fortune, and Emily Henry.
If time is supposed to heal all wounds, Lina Marianoās broken teenage heart never quite got the messageābut 15 sunny, sandy, angsty Jersey Shore summers later, she finds herself unexpectedly facing her old crush, getting a new perspectiveāand maybe even a hopeful glimpse of the future . . .
Lina Mariano is stuckāin her hometown, in her job, and in the past. And after six years of writing up local weddings as a columnist for a popular lifestyle website, sheās wholeheartedly sick of nuptials. Worse, the next one on her list is none other than Sebastian Nikolaouās.
Working high school summers with sweet, handsome Sebastian at his motherās iconic beach restaurant, teenage Lina was totally wrapped up in the way he made her feelāuntil the night that everything changed. Even so, sheās embarrassed to admit how often she still thinks of him, and now, comparing their present lives is wrenching. It will take a careful look at her younger self, and some wisdom from the best friend who was there for it all, to see that making her dreams come true is up to her aloneāwhether or not those dreams still include Sebastian . . .
Poignant, engaging, and insightful,Ā Have a Great SummerĀ is an ode to the confused teenager in all of us, and a reminder of the blissful, excruciating, delicious days of summers gone by.
