Jamie Everette married the wrong brother.
She knew it back in 2006 when a whirlwind summer romance ended in a shotgun wedding, and she definitely knows it now, twenty years later, as the ink dries on the divorce papers.
At least she got the beach house in the settlement.
On deadline for the sequel to her bestselling novel—inspired by the summer she spent with both brothers—Jamie is back at the beach house, figuring out who she is, and who she still has time to become.
But her quiet summer alone is cut short when Johnny, the early-00s rockstar-turned-producer, claims the beach house studio to work on his next project after avoiding Jamie for two decades.
Reliving their past through layered flashbacks, MySpace messages, and unfinished arguments, they must finally confront the ugly truth:
They were never just a phase.
The Summer I Turned Pretty's brotherly love triangle meets Into the Blue by Emma Brodie's decades-spanning pining between two artists: twenty years after marrying the wrong brother, a newly divorced novelist returns to the beach house that inspired her breakout book—only to find the brother she never got over missed the memo. Told through dual timelines, Myspace messages, and glimpses at the art they created to keep their yearning at bay, Jamie In Phases is a second-chance summer romance about the right people at the wrong time and what happens when phases come back around.
