The Summer of Letting Go

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A heartbreaking tale of an 18-year-old girl who attempts to keep her uncle's ghost in the earthly plane, but is forced to question what it means to let go when a hot college-boy barista brews his way into her life.

Death blinked into existence when Uncle Drew left. It's never going to leave me now, and I'm never going to let it.

When eighteen-year-old Kali's uncle dies in a car accident on his way to pick her up from school, her world stops. The sudden void where her favourite person used to be leaves her a ghost of what she once was—at least, until she starts seeing Uncle Drew on the corner of Tea For Two where he was supposed to meet her.

When Kali applies for a part-time job in the tea shop to spend every waking hour with the carefree ghost of her Cheeto-loving uncle, she doesn't expect Luca, the hot but aloof owner behind the counter, to offer her the job—nor does she expect to find him irresistibly cute.

She can't afford to have Luca's college-boy charm distract her when the landlord condemns Tea For Two for demolition, because losing Uncle Drew's haunt might just erase him from her life completely. And she can't lose him—not again.

But Uncle Drew has his own demons too, and in the midst of messy LEGO bricks, Kali's best friends going to separate colleges, tearful heartbreaks, and her counting down the final days until her uncle slips from her fingers forever, can Kali truly learn what it means to move on, find love, and let go?

About the Author

Catherine Dellosa plays video games for a living, reads comics for inspiration, and writes fiction because she's in love with words. She lives in Manila, Philippines with her husband, whose ideas fuel the fire in her writing. She has penned The Bookshop Back Home and Raya and Grayson's Guide to Saving the World as part of #romanceclass, a community of Filipino authors who're equally in love with words too. While she's never had to befriend Bigfoot in real life, she swears that Jimmy is based on an actual person. She one day hopes to soar the skies as a superhero, but for now, she strongly believes in saving lives through her works in fiction.
