Aubrey and Rae have been planning their trip around Europe practically from the moment they became BFFs in primary school. And, now, it ought to be the perfect way to spend their last summer together before university.
But things are more complicated at eighteen than they were at ten. There's Jonah, Aubrey's seemingly perfect boyfriend, and his best friend Gabe, the boy Aubrey may have accidentally kissed. And there's Clara, the friend Rae is crushing on, hard, even though there's no hope because Clara is definitely into guys, not girls.
Five friends. Ten days. Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Florence, Barcelona. And a messy, complicated, can-this-really-be happening love story, or two ... because how could there not be?
Summer Travels … Romance and friendship?? Count me in!Â
So…What are you waiting for this week?
About Cecilia Vinesse
I'm Cecilia Vinesse, and I'm the author of two books about teenagers who wander cities and fall in love: Seven Days of You and the forthcoming The Summer of Us, which will be available in June 2018.
I was born in France, raised between Japan and South Carolina, and then I moved to New York City to attend Barnard College and, eventually, work in children's book publishing. After that, I got a job in a cold, snowy city in northern Japan and, from there, headed to Scotland where I earned my master's degree in creative writing at the University of St Andrews.
Now, I live in a small Edwardian house in England where I spend most of my time writing in my sky-blue office, daydreaming in libraries, and holding late-night marathons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
A pug named Malfi and a Renaissancist named Rachel are my favorite things in the world. And also books. I should probably mention the books again.
