How many times do you have to miss each other to find true love? 'Bright Summer' by Sophie Astrabie is the most beautiful novel for the summer: a coup de coeur from France. Billie isn't like any other girl: she lives with her grandfather, loves skateboarding, and has to count every penny. One summer, she meets Maxime, the strange boy from Paris: Maxime and Billie, Billie and Maxime, from now on, they are just the two of them—at least for that summer. For over twenty years, they can't forget each other; they long for each other, search for each other, find each other, and miss each other again. They know they mean everything to each other—but never at the same time. How many years must pass before you recognize true love? A warm-hearted, melancholic and clever novel about a special young woman, the unconditional love between two people, and how to wrest one's own destiny from life. New product
