One summer can change a lifetime.

In the summer of 1998, Shin believed the world would never change.

The days were filled with laughter, quiet streets, endless conversations, and friends who seemed destined to stay together forever.

But every summer ends.

As childhood slowly gives way to adulthood, small choices begin to shape futures that no one can yet see. Beneath the warmth of ordinary days, something quietly slips away, leaving behind memories that refuse to fade.

The Summer That Still Remains is a heartfelt coming-of-age novel about friendship, growing up, and the bittersweet moments that continue to live within us long after summer has ended.

A companion novel to The Day We Left Him There, it can also be enjoyed as a standalone story.
