A secret. A holiday. A summer like never before.

Shae knows her parents are keeping something from her and is determined to find out what. But nothing can prepare her for what they are hiding.

17-year-old Shae is learning that relationships, deception, secrets, and love can sometimes blend together and change everything.

Shae and her family have a holiday of a lifetime planned, until it is cancelled unexpectedly. No warning. No explanation. Nothing. Instead, she is left to spend the summer holidays at her cousins.

Shae knows her parents are keeping something from her and she’s determined to find out what. As Shae tries to uncover the mystery, she must also navigate the deteriorating relationship with her favourite cousin, Lexi, who’s been acting differently. To make things more complicated, Shae meets Callen, the perplexing neighbour who manages to get under her skin every time she sees him.

Then, Shae receives a mysterious letter. It includes a photograph of her father and another woman. An anonymous caller claims they sent it and have the answers Shae seeks. But does Shae really want the truth?

As Shae fights to keep her world the same, she soon realises that some things are out of her control. It seems everybody she cares about is hiding something. But nothing can prepare her for the secret her parents are guarding. Shae’s world will never be the same again by summer’s end.

Summer Change by Melissa Wray is a riveting exploration of family secrets and the transformative power of truth.
