What a great way to kick off my 2026 reading @laurapauthor.bsky.social , fantastically immersive storytelling , a love story that had me rooting for a second chance and an ending I did not see coming !

The cover of What Happened That Summer has the title in white against a backdrop of a gradient of purples, pinks , oranges and yellows. There is the back lit image of a girl with flowing hair, arms outstretched and the silhouette of a roller coaster above the author's name
