A high-school conflict shaped by loss and responsibility

Set among high-school peers, *Saving Summer* centers on Nolan’s uneasy connection to Summer Madison, a classmate whose death brings their past interactions under scrutiny. As rumors of suicide circulate and attention turns toward him, Nolan confronts the possibility that his treatment of Summer mattered more than he believed. The story’s speculative premise—his willingness to challenge fate for a chance to undo harm—links questions of guilt and accountability with grief and the consequences of unwanted attention.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in fiction about depression and social pressures at school.
  • Readers drawn to stories about grief, guilt, and personal responsibility.
  • Readers interested in a speculative premise involving the chance to undo past actions.

Book overview

Summer Madison is the most annoying girl at Nolan's high school. She's always there, trying to force her way into Nolan's life no matter how much he doesn't want her around. When Nolan hears that Summer is scheduled to go on the same student trip to Europe, it's the worst news of his life-until news breaks of Summer's death.

When her peers begin to whisper about suicide and unwanted attention turns to Nolan, he shuts it all out. He knows he wasn't always the nicest person to Summer, but he's certain he had nothing to do with what happened to her-certain enough to dare fate to give him a chance to undo anything he may have done to cause her death.
