Summer Girl – An award-winning romantic short-story

“I won a trip to Disney World for this light-hearted humorous romance – it’s from a very youthful point of view that you will surely enjoy. Without further ado… here is my favorite little short story… Summer Girl!“

~ Jessica Leigh

My ears were burning, the tell-tale sign of my secret passion. They always burned that way when Michael was near.

Jessica’s Quotes

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
