Mila Torres and Theo Carver have spent years dreaming of the same thing: getting out of Crestwood.
In their fading coastal town of salt air, boarded windows, and old disappointments, they have always had each other. Mila sees the world in murals, color, and shape. Theo hears it in songs. Together, they have built a private map toward something larger than the life waiting for them at home.
Then their biggest chance arrives.
Both Mila and Theo are selected to compete for the Crestwood Scholarship, the one award that could pay for college and open a way out. What was supposed to be their shared future suddenly becomes a contest neither of them knows how to survive. As summer deepens, the pressure builds. Mila throws herself into a massive pier mural that captures the beauty and rot of the town they are desperate to leave. Theo disappears into Harbor, a song sharp enough to cut open everything he has been trying not to say. And when a talented new rival enters the race, the fragile balance between them starts to crack.
But the real danger is not just the scholarship.
It is what happens when lifelong friendship turns into first love at exactly the wrong moment, when one kiss changes everything, and when the person who knows your soul best may also be the person standing between you and the life you want.
The Summer Between Us is a coming-of-age contemporary romance about art, music, ambition, class, and the beautiful, unbearable summer that turns two best friends into something more just as the future begins pulling them apart.
