Description

Along the trails of endless pines, I search for truth and follow signs.

How's your summer going? Mine is ruined.

Hi. My name is Ri. I'm the kind of delinquent teenage girl you hear horror stories about.

My parents thought they could reform my "bad" attitude and get me away from my "troublemaking" friends in the city by shipping me off to my grandparents' house in the countryside for the summer. I'm supposed to stay clear of the "forbidden" forest and piss away my days in my grandparents' stupid rose garden alongside a boy named Avery.

Avery is seventeen, but he chooses to work for my grandparents because he likes roses. 

Well, the joke's on them. I'm getting the hell out of here, and I won't let anyone stop me—especially not some weirdo boy. 

—

Awash with Summer Roses is a young adult contemporary coming-of-age story and romance with a splash of magic.

  • It was alright

    For a free book it’s not bad. My main complaint is the book just sort of drops off randomly at the end, leaving you feeling like you went no where. The unholiest of cliffhangers.

  • Thrilling

    I should start off by mentioning that I’m not the biggest reading avid, especially when reading on Apple Books. However, this book had long been in my reading list and with almost nothing to do, I decided to explore what this book had to offer. Boy did I had my expectations exceeded. The plot development was great, and had a little bit of something new ever chapter. The subtle build-up of Avery’s character keeps me going and makes me want to actually purchase the second book of this exhilarating series. For those who want a great start or just something to feed your reading appetite, this book is just the one for you. It’s relatable in some ways, funny, and excitingly mysterious in a way. Thank you and I hope you make the same best decision to read this book just like I did.

  • Love it!!!!

    It was an adventure, reading all of it makes me feel like i want to explore Ri's grandparents hometown! Everything in the book was perfectly detailed to make a reader feel like they are in the book themselves! Thank you so much to the author for giving us a book of an experience of adventure and romance
