The Summer of Lost Letters

More about the book

Perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Ruta Sepetys, this sweet, summery romance set in Nantucket follows seventeen-year-old Abby Schoenberg as she uncovers a secret about her grandmother’s life during WWII. Abby isn’t looking forward to the summer before her senior year, having just broken up with her first boyfriend while her friends embark on their own adventures. Seeking her own excitement, she stumbles upon love letters from a mystery man named Edward among her recently deceased grandmother’s belongings. These letters reveal a past that contrasts sharply with the quiet life Abby knows; her grandmother fled Germany as a child to escape the Holocaust, but the details of her life remain largely unknown. Determined to learn more, Abby heads to Nantucket for the summer. Complications arise when she meets Edward’s handsome grandson, Noah, who wants to prevent her from digging into the past. As Abby and Noah grow closer, they must confront the mysteries surrounding their families and learn to accept the burdens of their histories to forge the futures they desire.
