The Summer by the Shore Hardcover Collection (Boxed Set) Fifteenth Summer; Sixteenth Summer; Seventeenth Summer; Swept Away; Pulled Under

Get carried away on a summer breeze with these five young adult romances set on balmy beaches, evenings on the boardwalk, and ice cream dates—now available together in one hardcover boxed set!

There’s nothing more romantic than summer by the shore.

In Michelle Dalton’s swoon-worthy books, young couples fall for each other in the summer…only to wonder if they’re destined to separate come fall. In Fifteenth Summer, a teen unexpectedly finds love during a summer vacation by a lake. A townie gets involved with a tourist—in a beachside island town in Sixteenth Summer and along the Maine coastline in Swept Away. A shy surfer gets drawn out of her (sea)shell by a cute beach town tourist in Pulled Under.

And two high school classmates spend a steamy summer together while the prospect of moving to separate states in the fall looms closer in Maureen Daly’s Seventeenth Summer—first published in the 1940s and considered to be the first young adult novel!

This sun-soaked hardcover boxed set includes:
Fifteenth Summer
Sixteenth Summer
Seventeenth Summer
Swept Away
Pulled Under
