About this listen
Phoebe
The first summer I have my freedom from the religious cult I was raised in, my grandmother sends me to a summer camp for teens. There I learned to swim, how to dress like a ‘normal’ girl, how to wear lipstick, and most importantly, I fell in love. But like all summer romances, ours had to end. Until we find ourselves back at the place where it all began…
Luna
I never forgot the girl I fell in love with at camp, but we were only teens then. We both grew up and moved on. Nostalgia makes me agree to volunteer at the same summer camp where I spent so many happy days. But when I see Phoebe again, I realize fate may have had a hand in our coming back together.
She says that she just wants to be friends this time around, so I make it my mission to wear her down and remind her how much fun it is to let loose and have some fun. We live in different states and have very different lives, but I’m determined to make this work.
They fell in love at first sight, and second sight too. Can they find forever?
“The Summer I Fell in Love” is a friends to lovers second chance midlife lesbian romance. Expect steamy scenes, wacky characters, and an adorable little dog who only likes his mom – and the woman who’s perfect for her.
This book is part of the Second Chances Lesbian Romance series. Each WLW book in the series is a standalone sapphic romance featuring two strong women finding love the second time around.

Story
Penelope Boswell is my best friend. She’s my person. She’s who I call when I have good news and bad. She’s my comfort. My solace. But in the same breath, she’s my want, my longing, my ache. She isn’t mine. She never will be. It’s a special kind of cruel to be in love with someone you shouldn’t. To know your heart beats for someone you can never have. One phone call in the middle of the night, two thousand miles between us, and everything changes. She’s hurt. Sad. Broken. She needs me. He broke her, and now it’s my responsibility to step in and pick up the pieces…
