Description
A second chance at a summer romance . . .
Pine Lake Camp has always played a central role in Clara Millen's life, first as a kid and then in her late teens as a counsellor. Now aged thirty, she and her closest friends return every August to help close up the camp for the season. And when burnout and an awful break-up inspire Clara to quit her job, her annual vacation turns into a much-needed escape from reality.
But when she arrives, she faces yet another unwelcome change: the owners are retiring, and selling Pine Lake. The news turns her plans for revelry into a night of reminiscing . . . and prompts a surprise heart-to-heart between Clara and Mack, her annoyingly handsome childhood nemesis.
Soon, the campfire isn't all that's throwing off sparks . . .
Kate Spencer's One Last Summer is a dreamy, laugh-out-loud, enemies-to-lovers summer romance that asks: What do you do when the life you've planned isn't what you've dreamed? For fans of Emily Henry and Beth O'Leary.
