Solstice

Sean is going into his senior year: one last year of his burnt out family; of blistering, sweltering band rehearsals; of his seductive next-door neighbor tangling every hormone around her tiny, tanned fingers; of endlessly paddling out for one final wave. With a possible loan from his estranged father, and college recruitment pamphlets pouring into his mailbox, things couldn’t be better. But with the ever-expanding suburbs devouring his hometown, Sean is beginning to understand that leaving for college means leaving home forever. Solstice is the beer, sun, and saltwater soaked debut novel from Samuel Rametta.
