A firecracker bookworm. A Neanderthal surfer. One unforgettable summer.
Seventeen-year-old Cat Kelty should be spending her last summer before year 12 buried in books, prepping for the future she’s determined to claim.
Instead, she’s trapped in a house with rowdy brothers, mortifyingly affectionate parents, and a cantankerous Nonna.
Then, to make things worse, Paul GD Lightwood—a walking surfer god, King of the Neanderthals, all abs and an infuriatingly disarming smile—shows up to work for her father.
Cat’s plan is simple: escape this testosterone-fueled town and never look back. But life—and Paul—have other ideas.
Salty hot chips, beach parties, swimming beyond the breakers—Summer, in Between is a funny, heartwarming story about first love, family, and finding where you belong.
Teacher Notes are available for this title.

‘Smart, funny and oh-so real. I wish I could’ve read this book when I was 17!’ Gabrielle Tozer, award-winning author
‘A beachside summer that captures the thrill and heartbreak of first love with pitch-perfect authenticity and whip-smart laugh-out-loud moments. It’s a portal into your own experience of first love, except the love interest, the protagonist’s family, and the setting are better than yours were. Cat knows her own mind but needs to get out of her own way – and yet, she never compromises her dreams for love. This book will make you wonder why you don’t read more YA.’ Anne Freeman, multi award winning author
‘I hugely enjoyed Cat as a character – I loved how authentic she was as an Australian teenager with Australian teenage problems that she would blow out of proportion. I loved that she was moody and flawed and stressed out, and how well Paul’s calming energy balanced her out. Their relationship hit the sweet spot.’ Bek Diskett, Reviewer
‘Heartfelt, humorous, deeply relatable. Pulses with emotional clarity, vivid storytelling and wit. A standout novel. I couldn’t put it down!’ January Gilchrist, author of The Last Chapter
‘A brilliantly told, soulful, unputdownable novel for the young and young at heart. It is captivating from the first sentence, laugh out loud hilarious, relatable, and at times, heartbreaking. A truly touching story with depth. Absolutely wonderful.’ Lorena Otes, author
‘Holly Cardamone perfectly captures the tender moments, while deftly exploring deeper themes of identity, cultural heritage, and anticipation for the future. A sweet romance brought to life with writing so evocative you can feel the heat of the sun on your shoulders, the grit of sand between your toes, and the salt encrusted on your eyelashes.’ Camille Booker, award-winning author
‘This book is a delight! A coming-of-age tale full of romance and humour. Firecracker Cat and her noisy Italian family will win your heart, while the charming and often misunderstood Paul finds his way into Cat’s.’ Sarah Todman, author of Forgotten
‘An absolute joy, brimming with voice, humour, romance and a huge amount of heart. I devoured this gem!’ Miranda Luby, author
‘Cat is kind-hearted and passionate, working hard to carve space in her life for Year 12, and the ache and pull of a summer romance. Her life is coloured with the richness of her Italian-Australian family, delivering laughs, plenty of trouble, and just the right amount of hand pressed to heart moments. Summer, In Between feels like it will deliver this generation a fresh bitey take on life that Looking for Alibrandi gifted us in the nineties.’ Jenna Lo Bianco, author
‘Perfect for a mental holiday, the kind of book you’ll finish in a week.’ Gabrielle Davis, Author
‘Funny, hot, relatable. An absolute page turner that I’m proud to have signed, particularly because Summer, in Between proves that booklovers are not the shy nerdy stereotype. I am absolutely and totally in love with Cat. What a summer!’ Carolyn Martinez, Director, Hawkeye

This rug is such good quality and makes me so happy every time I look at it. I'm using this one for a top cover over my bedspread. It's a perfect match for my room and linen. I have another that I use as a throw for the lounge and a picnic rug! In LOVE.

The postage was incredibly quick and the quality and colours far exceeded what I thought. The pics don't do them justice. Truly unique rugs that I doubt will date anytime soon. I would recommend - beautiful rug and great customer service.

My husband argued with me saying we didn’t need a new blanket. Once we received this one, he quickly changed his tune. It’s cozy, soft and warm. I love the design and boho vibe it adds to our home. High quality product at an affordable price.
