The Summers Between Us was like "Every Summer After" but in a different font - two lakeside neighbors who grow up next to one another over the course of many summers, have a falling out, and are brought back together in one fateful summer as adults to reflect on what went wrong and where they stand now.
It had all the makings of my favorite plot points - lakeside cabin, small local town and characters, boy next door romance, friends to lovers. But the thing that dipped this book in the ratings for me was that it also included a big heaping of one of my least favorite book toupes: miscommunication. C'mon people, just use your words and don't assume! lol
I think this is a great cozy read for summer, especially if you're reading it at the lake and the vibes are hitting just right. But it wasn't my favorite of those that fit that genre.
