Justine Bledsoe

Author of Contemporary Romance

Welcome! I’m Justine, and I write love stories with big feelings, sharp banter, and the kind of heroes who will ruin your summer with one slow smile.Shaped by a Midwestern upbringing and a big, outspoken family, my stories explore the beautiful, messy layers of falling in love. When I’m not holed up working on a manuscript or painting a canvas, I can usually be found wrangling a child, a plot twist, or an overgrown tomato plant.

Maybe Next Summer

MAYBE NEXT SUMMER is a dual-timeline contemporary romance about first love, second chances, and the memories that shape us long after summer ends.Nora Ellis has a strict, zero-exceptions policy regarding her first love: don't think about him, don't text him after two glasses of wine, and absolutely do not return to the scene of the crime. But when her grandfather dies, she's pulled back to the Nebraska town where her childhood summers were measured in days at the lake, lime popsicles, and time with a boy she never quite outgrew.
