Daniel Tawse, Author

It was the summer Iggy would never forget . . . until they did. A beautiful, heartbreaking and life-affirming queer YA romance, perfect for fans of They Both Die at the End.

Last year, Iggy almost drowned, losing all memory of their magical Mediterranean holiday. Determined to piece together the fragments of their forgotten summer, they return to Europe to retrace their steps, from the sun-drenched shores of St. Tropez to the colossal ruins of Rome.

When their paddleboard bumps into the gorgeous but mysterious Roscoe, Iggy realises that this trip is the perfect chance to make new memories – ones they’ll always remember.

But as the sun sets on their summer romance, will Paris – the iconic city of love – be the start of a new life for Iggy and Roscoe, or their last chance to say goodbye?
