Say You Still Love Me by K.A. Tucker.
I absolutely loved this story that centers around Kyle and Piper, who are from completely opposite worlds in so many ways. Say You Still Love Me is told in dual timelines, and the mc's are granted a second chance in the present after their heartbreak in the past.
Sometimes, stories that flip between the past and present can seem drawn out and aren't my favorite, because I feel antsy to just get back to the present storyline. This was absolutely NOT the case at all in this book. I adored Piper and Kyle's journey, both in the past at WAWA, and in the present as their lives intertwined 13 years after their unforgettable summer together.
I was just as invested at seeing them fall for the first time, with youth and naivety and foolishness, as I was in the present after life, with all of its weight and curveballs, had tossed them around with all of its realism and responsibilities and regret, tempting them to feel jaded and cynical.
This story was rich with nostalgia (and I never even went to summer camp! Lol) But the past had me reflecting on my youth, with all those feelings of shooting stars and adrenaline and endless summer days. It had me remembering how the word 'crush' is so representative of feelings as a teenager, because man...when they hit, you really did feel like it took over your life.
It had me hoping and cheering for Piper and Kyle in the present, that on paper have the odds stacked against them. But as Piper found her voice at work in a world of powerful and rich men, Kyle found his courage to face his biggest fear of all...giving their connection another shot, to see if somehow their relationship can truly find its way in the real world.
I cried at the end for them, but also how the story unfolded. I was so satisfied at the end, that I was left with even more appreciation for K.A. Tucker. She's one of my favorites because she always delivers.
But she always delivers, because character, story, and emotions are ever present in her writing, connecting you to the journey as if you're with them every step of the way. I felt that with Kyle and Piper and will ' say I love ', Say You Still Love Me, from the top of the cliff and will happily jump into any lake that K.A. Tucker has waiting for us readers.

About the author
First love and second chances
It takes a special author - and a special book - to make you feel nostalgic for a place you’ve never been and experience you’ve never had. K.A. Tucker was just that author, and Say You Still Love Me was that book. I pretty much suspected I would love this book as soon as I read the blurb. I don't think I realized just how much Piper and Kyle's second chance romance would get to me though. These two worked their way under my skin and into my heart. One of my favorite things about Say You Still Love Me was the format in which it was told. Jumping back and forth between present day and the past can be messy, but it was far from that in this one. I loved how the details of Piper and Kyle first falling in love at Camp Wawa were woven in with their second chance. I can't think of how this book would possibly work any other way. Basically I lived for the bits I would get from both time periods in each chapter. It made me feel as though I really was right there beside them, part of the story. It could probably go without saying, but I absolutely loved the romance in Say You Still Love Me. From the first love at Camp Wawa and the albeit more complicated second chance in present day, I was 1000% in. I couldn't get enough of Piper or Kyle (together or separate!) or the secondary characters, for that matter. While present day Piper and Kyle (understandably) had their issues to work through, Camp Wawa Piper and Kyle just warmed my heart. Is there anything as pure as first love? Say You Still Love Me was an absolutely joy to read. I adored the characters. Piper was especially wonderful. Present day Kyle got a pretty healthy dose of side eye initially, but it wasn't long before he had me swooning all over the place. I never went to summer camp, but somehow while reading this, I felt like I had. The setting and characters were so rich, it was easy to imagine myself right there. I laughed and cried and reminisced on my own first love and some fun summers spent with friends and big time crushes. What a sweet and special read. Hands down one of my favorites of the summer.
