Same Time Next Summer Annable Monaghan

"Beach Rules: Do take long walks on the sand. Do put an umbrella in every cocktail. Do NOT run into your first love."

Sam’s life seems perfect with her doctor fiancé Jack, a stable job in Manhattan, and plans to tour a wedding venue near her family’s Long Island beach house. However, her world turns upside down when she arrives and finds Wyatt, her first love, nearby. Wyatt, the man who broke her heart at seventeen, reawakens memories she thought were long buried. The sound of his guitar and the familiarity of the beach evoke intense recollections: their nights in the treehouse, the feel of his skin, and the painful truth of their separation.

Sam’s reunion with Wyatt stirs up unresolved emotions and forces her to confront her past. Despite her engagement and the life she’s built, the connection with Wyatt is as strong as ever. She is torn between her planned future with Jack and the undeniable pull towards Wyatt, who represents a significant part of who she used to be. As she navigates these conflicting feelings, Sam must make a heart-wrenching choice about her future.

Bursting with the magic of first love and summer romance, this novel captures the essence of rediscovering old flames and the complexities of choice. Perfect for a summer read, it has been named a Best Book of Summer by multiple outlets including Real Simple and Goodreads.
