Fans of Sarah Dessen and Morgan Matson will be swept away by this big-hearted novel about one girl navigating first loss and first love during her summer on Cape Cod.

Saving the whales has been Coriander Cabot and her best friend Ella’s dream since elementary school. But when tragedy strikes, Cor is left to complete the list of things they wanted to accomplish before college alone, including a marine biology internship on Cape Cod.

Cor's summer of healing and new beginnings turns complicated when she meets Mannix, a local lifeguard who completely takes her breath away. But she knows whatever she has with Mannix might not last, and that her focus should be on rescuing the humpback whales from entanglement. As the tide changes, Cor finds herself distracted and struggling with her priorities.

Can she follow her heart and keep her promise to the whales and her best friend?

Thank you NetGalley and Little, Brown, and Company for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook of The Edge of Summer by Erica George. It was a magnificent book to listen to on the way to the coast.

The Edge of Summer is a breath of salt air; sweet, fresh, with a bite of realness. The book follows Coriander, or Cor for short, as she embarks on a summer of checking off her list. It’s a simple list, but it hold so much weight. The list she made with Ella, her best friend. However, Ella died and this is the first summer back at Cape Cod after the accident. Riddled with guilt and pain from the loss, Cor starts the internship they had always dreamed about. Alone. She spends her summer with the whales, seals, and new found friends and boys. Of course, nothing is ever straight forward especially when feelings are involved.

The story kept me so entertained, needing to know what would happen next. George perfectly captured the essence of summer. The beaches, salt water, sun, and of course whales. All the talk of whales was so amazing. She also really touched on grief. The way it rolls through your life like the tide. It also helps that the audiobook narrator read the book so well. She read smoothly, and clearly. I definitely recommend you read or listen to this book.
