PRAISE FOR LONG PAST SUMMER

"Kirwan's excellent debut brings charm, complexity, and plenty of heat...This mature, steamy romance will have readers swooning." --Publishers Weekly, starred review

"This debut novel addresses what it's like to grow up with absent and deceased parents as well as the pressure on Black professionals to overperform while conforming to White norms. The harsh realities of Julie and Mikaela's fractured friendship, Mikaela's fraught relationship with her mother, and Mikaela's inability to see Cameron for who he is are all developed with skill and empathy. Mikaela's sister, Vanessa, pokes fun at her, providing pitch-perfect humor. Most of all, Mikaela travels a long road to stop hiding from her own emotions and needs....This fast-moving novel spotlights a smart woman's journey to find what she wants." --Kirkus Reviews

"In this deftly written and engaging novel, Mikaela and Cameron are well developed but flawed protagonists whose scenes together are filled with heated arguments and hotter sex.
