The QB, Summer and Me
Readers who loved The QB Bad Boy and Me, and books like The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams and Throw Like a Girl by Sarah Henning.
Eleven whole weeks. Summer vacation.
Camping trips, lakehouse getaways, and late-night motorcycle rides—the best summer of their lives is finally here. Dallas and Drayton are ready to celebrate their last official summer before heading off to college. Making the most of their time together before the inevitable . . .
Eleven weeks. Until they’re off to separate colleges.
Dallas is excited about her new start at CalArts, but knowing she has to leave everything behind—especially her boyfriend—hurts more than any dance injury. In just a few weeks, she’ll be on a plane to California while Drayton begins college in Texas. The future of their entire relationship is called into question—a question Drayton refuses to answer.
In fact, Drayton’s nonchalant attitude towards their soon-to-be long distance relationship has Dallas questioning his feelings for her. However, Drayton’s been carrying a secret that will change the course of their entire love story . . . he’s just waiting for the perfect moment to tell her.
But with the chaos (and excitement) of watching Josh and Gabby prepare for parenthood, planning a baby shower, finding Dallas’ older brother Nathan a girlfriend, and coming to terms with what it means to grow up—the “perfect moment” might be harder to find than Drayton realizes.
Tay Marley, the author of the hit Wattpad sensation The QB Bad Boy and Me, captures the sizzling heat of summer love in this new novel, offering a peek into that fateful summer before Dallas and Drayton’s lives are forever changed.

okkkkkk. this was such an easy breezy read!
I’ve talked so many times about how the qb bad boy & me is such a nostalgic type of read for me & how much i love it.
so when i saw Tay wrote a follow up, following Dallas & Drayton through summer before college
(in the universe of the book, not the sidelined movie)
i immediately had to buy it!
