Like Lucy Sommersworth, the heroine of Love, Lucy, my parents gave me the gift of a lifetime: a backpacking trip to Europe. A professor of English at Saint Joseph’s University, April lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two sons.

She plays acoustic guitar badly, sees more rock concerts than she’d care to admit, travels whenever she can, cooks Italian food, and lavishes attention on her pets-two Labrador retriever mixes and two excitable guinea pigs. She also has published two poetry collections, Skin and This Bed Our Bodies Shaped. In this coming-of-age romance, April Lindner perfectly captures the highs and lows of a summer love that might just be meant to last beyond the season.įind it: AMAZON | BARNES & NOBLE | THE BOOK DEPOSITORY | INDIEBOUND | GOODREADSĪpril Lindner is the author of three novels: Catherine, a modernization of Wuthering Heights Jane, an update of Jane Eyre and Love, Lucy, releasing January 27, 2015. After a whirlwind romance, Lucy returns home, determined to move on from her “vacation flirtation.” But just because summer is over doesn’t mean Lucy and Jesse are over, too. While backpacking through Florence, Italy, during the summer before she heads off to college, Lucy Sommersworth finds herself falling in love with the culture, the architecture, the food…and Jesse Palladino, a handsome street musician.
