![]() Sumner Lee, Ashley’s long-lost boyfriend, has remained one of my very favorite characters of all time. When I look back over That Summer now, I always think that I was writing a bit more freely then, because it was before I knew to worry about reviews or publishers or what everyone else thought. ![]() But when I got an agent, she suggested it would be a good book for teenagers. I never intended That Summer to be a YA book while I was writing it: to me, it was just a novel with a teenage narrator. It was actually the third one I wrote, after a terrible book I did in college and one that was marginally better the year after. ![]() ![]() That Summer was the first novel I sold and for that reason it will always be special. ![]()
