Summer's Echo
Two former camp counselors whose hearts remained entwined reunite to face their unspoken feelings and the secret that divided them in this soul-stirring second-chance romance about finding the courage to claim what fate had always intended, from the bestselling author of Somebody’s Husband.
One summer bound them. One secret divided them. One reunion could change everything.
As teenagers, Summer Knight and Echo Abara spent one unforgettable summer as camp counselors. Beneath sun-soaked days and starry nights, their bond deepened from easy friendship into something more—an unspoken love neither dared confess. Life pulled them in different directions, yet their souls remained tethered by time, distance, and a shared secret.
Neither has forgotten their connection—or that summer that changed everything. When a reunion brings them back together, their lives collide once more, stirring long-buried emotions and unanswered questions. Summer and Echo must confront not only their unvoiced feelings but also the burden of their shared secret—one that tore apart their friendship and made them question the very meaning of love and trust.
Will they find the courage to embrace what’s always been between them? Or will the truth they’ve guarded destroy their second chance?

I enjoyed the story. Summer and Echo have this great love that they’ve both been too scared to take the leap into, and Summer decides she’s finally ready to do what she needs to to have the happiness she’s been wanting. In order to do that, she had to be honest with herself and everyone around her which she struggled with the most. For them to not have officially been together over the 15 years of their friendship, but to have gone through all of it while being so young was heartbreaking. I enjoyed watching these friends find their way back to each other. My only issue was the time jumps because there were times when I was confused, and they made it hard to keep up with certain points of the story.
This is a sweet friends to lovers, second-chance, slow burn romance that had all of the summer feels!
Summer & Echo met as teens while at summer camp in 2004. They bonded and slowly developed feelings for each other over the years.
They are reunited when Summer decides she can’t go through with her wedding - on her wedding day.
We go back in time to see how their young loved developed one summer at a time, echoing through the
Myears ahead.
This was a nice read and it had a similar plot as Every Summer After by Carley Fortune. I liked reading both of their POVs, and glimpses into their family lives.
It reads as pretty much 80% past and 20% present. I would’ve liked more of their story as adults, especially in between young adulthood and the wedding.
