Every boy deserves a summer girl.

The Summer Girl tells the story of Sean Fitzroy, an emotionally fragile
seventeen-year-old trying to  find a balance between his father’s ambitions
and  his own yearnings. Caught in  an act of self-harm, he is packed off during
the  summer to stay  with his grandfather, a war veteran who is considered a pariah within the family. 
Stuck in a backwater town without essentials such as Facebook  or  Twitter,
Sean encounters Alisa, a headstrong girl who chafes at the restrictiveness of her own life. Together they form a bond that blossoms into a  bittersweet romance that helps Sean to confront his grandfather over the ghosts of his past and to challenge his father’s expectations.
