December 13th is when the final Something Like… book will hit retail! This story returns us to where it all began—with Ben and Tim. It seems appropriate then that the cover should reflect that very first book. In more than one way! For most of us, the first time we saw Ben he was staring...
Something Like Summer was originally published back in 2010, although I started work on it a few years earlier than that. At the time, I didn’t have much experience as an author.
