Caroline George once again transports readers with lush, evocative prose, leading them to ask the question: what happens when we can’t even trust ourselves?
Some memories are better left forgotten.
Darby and Morgan haven’t spoken for two years, and their friend group has splintered. But when the body of their former science teacher is found in the marsh where they attended camp that summer, they realize they have more questions than answers . . . and even fewer memories.
No one remembers—or no one is talking.
The group of reunited friends suspects that a murderer is stalking the coastal highway 30A, and they are desperate to recover their memories as quickly as possible . . . before their history they can’t remember repeats itself.
Everyone has a secret.
As tensions rise and time runs out, Darby and Morgan begin to wonder if they can believe one another . . . or if they can even trust themselves.

From the Author
Writing The Summer We Forgot challenged me to take a long, hard look in the mirror and confront parts of my past. High school. Boys. Lost friends. Finding peace and self-acceptance… maybe even self-forgiveness. The book is my ode to growing up. It examines the memories (and people) we hold onto and the ones we’re desperate to let go. It explores the comforting and eerie sides of nostalgia. And it asks the questions: Are we more of what we remember or what we forget? Do our mistakes—our histories—define us? We’re all in a coming-of-age story. Maybe now is the time to exhume our deepest and darkest from their hidden places. Then again, perhaps some memories are better left forgotten.
