The Summer Between Us by Maria E. Monteiro

One summer. Three hearts. Everything changes. Madison thought this summer would be like every other, filled with familiar faces, long days by the lake, and the comfort of a place she'd always known. But everything begins to change when Dallas Harper enters her life. With his dark eyes, guarded heart, and a way of making her feel things she never expected, Dallas is everything Madison knows she should be careful about. And then there's Jared, the boy whose place in her life makes following her heart anything but simple. As friendships are tested and feelings grow impossible to ignore, Madison finds herself caught between the comfort of what she's always known and the possibility of something entirely new. Set against sun-soaked afternoons, summer nights, and unforgettable moments by the water, *The Summer Between Us* is a heartfelt young adult romance about first love, complicated friendships, and the choices that change us. Because some summers don't just become memories. They change everything.
