Seventeen-year-old Rory is sent to Normandy for a summer she never wanted-to improve her French and recover from a painful breakup.
But between seaside picnics, new friendships, late-night conversations, and the quiet magic of the French coast, Rory slowly begins to rediscover herself.
Then she finds a forgotten box of love letters.
As Rory becomes drawn into the story of a past romance, strange parallels begin to emerge between the letters and her own life. The deeper she reads, the more the line between past and present seems to blur-and Rory starts to wonder whether some stories are destined to repeat themselves.
Set against the dreamy backdrop of coastal Normandy, August is an atmospheric coming-of-age novel about friendship, first love, healing, and the kind of summer that changes everything.
Perfect for readers who love:
- strong female friendships
- found family dynamics
- soft romance
- coastal settings
- dual timelines and love letters
- nostalgic summer stories
