28 Summers

Mallory and Jake meet on Labor Day weekend in 1993, and fall instantly in love. But there are obstacles to being together—Mallory and Jake live far from each other, and Jake has a long-term relationship. The solution? To meet once a year, like the characters in the movie, Same Time, Next Year, over Labor Day weekend, at Mallory's beachfront cottage in Nantucket.

I knew this was going to be an emotional read, and, of course, it was.
