The Last Summer of You and Me

“A vivid elegy for youth...Brashares is wise as well as sentimental. She sagely remembers just how it feels to be young, lost, and in love. The Last Summer (of You and Me) is a weeper: If you don’t grow misty there’s something a bit shifty about the state of your heart.” —The Miami Herald “Natural, insightful, and affecting. A-.” —Entertainment Weekly“Get out your handkerchiefs. A perfect summer novel.” —The Vancouver Sun “The Last Summer is as much a treatise on loyalty and letting go of childish ways as it is on a summer of love.” —USA Today “An unputdownable beach book calls for love, deceit, and sex. And The Last Summer (of You and Me)...has all those elements.” —Cosmopolitan “Would do nicely under a beach umbrella.” —The New York Times “Compelling...steeped in the familiar longings for lost time that readers seeking the carefree pleasure of a summer will enjoy.” —Kim Edwards, The Washington Post “Ann Brashares’s new book will delight all of her Traveling Pants fans—now grown-up and ready for this very adult novel of love, loss and the beauty of intense family bonds.” —Anita Shreve, New York Times bestselling author of The Pilot’s Wife and A Wedding in December “Funny, deep and true, this one will keep you reading long after the sun has gone down.” —Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and Lucia, Lucia
