If Summer Only Knew
(2026)(The first book in the You Give Me a Summer Complex series)
A novel by Laikyn Meng
From the author of National Parks comes a sun-drenched duet of summer promises, coastal secrets, and the salt-stained longing of a love refusing to be forgotten.
They say all holy things are meant to be worshipped, and that summer, my religion was Lucky.
He was heaven-sent, from the way his smile used to bloom just for me, to the promises we whispered on those sun-drenched, sandy shores. It was supposed to be our season. But the clouds moved in, trading the sunshine for a downpour I never saw coming.
Lucky was mine for those sunny months, and I knew even a lifetime wouldn't have been enough. I didn't know those days would be the ones he forgot.
