Review for The Summer Remains by Seth King

Twenty-four-year-old Summer Johnson knows two things. The first is that due to a quickly-worsening medical condition, she faces a risky surgery in three months’ time that may very well end in her death. The second is that she would like to fall in love before then. 

As spring sinks into her namesake season on the Florida coastline, Summer plays the odds and downloads a new dating app – and after one intriguing message from a beautiful surfer named Cooper Nichols, it becomes clear that the story of what may be her last few months under the sun is about to be completely revised. All she has to do now is write something worth reading. 

Tender, honest, devastating and triumphant, The Summer Remains explores a very human battle being waged in a very digital age: the search for a love that will outlast this temporary borrowing of bones. In an era when many feel compelled to share and re-share anything about everything, prepare to feel a love so special, you will want to hug it close and make it yours forever. 

*This is a full-length standalone romance*

5 Amazing Stars
I was bracing myself when I first started reading The Summer Remains, i've read all the reviews and I knew it was going to touch me deeply. The summer remains is a heartfelt, witty story. Which will leave you emotionally spent.

What can I say, Seth has done an amazing job, I just want to pull him into a great big hug and say well done. You've personally touched so many people's lives and for that we owe you a thank you. 

Summer Johnson is an amazing character even though she's terminally ill, she showed people that the future is now, to take life by your hands and live it to the full. And to love, too love hard because everyone has the right to love. 

Cooper Nichols, the other half of Summer, they were meant to be together, He loved Summer for her and not because of her illness, that was magical to see. 

This book will have you emotions running wild, one minute you will be laughing, then you will be crying your eyes out, the next your will be filled with hope.
