Three Summers

Last summer, I was carefree. I was happily in love—as much as a teenager could be, I suppose—and my world naively revolved around the one boy who stole my heart. I thought of nothing else except Rowen, which is why I wasn’t prepared for the heartbreak that was about to wreck my being.

But now, time has passed, and a lot can change in one summer. I’m a little bit older and a lot smarter. Guarding my heart is my first instinct, and my second is keeping Rowen from invading every last thought, like when we were simple-minded teens who were the star couple of their little small town.

Except we’re both back from college for the summer, and I’m quickly learning that my mind and heart are at a crossroads. A lot can change in one summer, but even more can change in three.

S.J. Sylvis is a lover of reading and writing and just recently graduated with her graduate degree focusing on English and Creative Writing (the only fun parts were the writing classes). Besides writing, S.J. Sylvis loves coffee (specifically caramel iced coffee, but really, any coffee will do), binge-watching Gilmore Girls, going to the beach and spending time with her family! She currently lives in Louisiana but is often moving as her husband is in the United States Marine Corps and they go where the military sends them!
