It seemed only natural to nickname them
the ‘Onslow Boys’. Every time they swaggered in the front door of
the Onslow Hotel after a hard week’s work, their laughter was loud
and genuine as they settled onto their bar stools. I peeked through
the restaurant partition, a flimsy divider between my world and
theirs. I couldn’t help but smile whenever I saw them, saw him ...
Toby Morrison.
Quiet seventeen-year-old Tess doesn’t relish the thought of a summertime job. She wants nothing more than to forget the past haunts of high school and have fun with her best friends before the dreaded Year Twelve begins.
To Tess, summer is when everything happens: riding bikes down to the lake, watching the fireworks at the Onslow Show and water bomb fights at the sweltering Sunday markets.
How did she let her friends talk her into working?
After first-shift disasters, rude, wealthy tourists and a taunting ex-boyfriend, Tess is convinced nothing good can come of working her summer away. However, Tess finds unlikely allies in a group of locals dubbed ‘The Onslow Boys’, who are old enough to drive cars, drink beer and not worry about curfews. Tess’s summer of working expands her world with a series of first times with new friends, forbidden love and heartbreaking chaos.
All with the one boy she has never been able to forget.
It will be a summer she will always remember.

The Boys of Summer Excerpt
“Don’t you
dare.” I grabbed his arm, pulling him backwards. His eyes darted to
where my hand rested on him. I didn’t move my hand, I couldn’t
physically bring myself to break the contact; all of a sudden there
were no smiles, no jokes, just him and me and our space on the couch.
I could only hear the music and be aware of the heat of his skin and
the rapid rise and fall of my chest in this moment.
The only thing that
snapped me out of my daze was Toby’s words which seemed low and
raspy.
“Is Adam your
boyfriend?” His gaze flicked over my face as he waited for my
answer. My mouth gaped open; I couldn’t hide the fact I was
dumbfounded by the question.
I blinked quickly
and took my hand from his arm. I struggled to construct a legible
sentence.
“Oh – um, no,
we’re just friends, it’s not like that.”
His stony
expression didn’t falter, didn’t reveal any kind of emotion. He
was so hard to read, and I wanted to read him so badly. He gave a
small nod and handed me the CD cover.
“Better go and make sure these guys
aren’t cheating.” And without another word, he got up and headed
towards the pool table.
