Summer in the City (Ch. 25-32): If It's Meant to Be, Will Love Always Find A Way?
#008: This week on A Novel Bunch, we’re diving into Chapters 25–32 of Summer in the City by Alex Aster… and wondering: If it’s meant to be, will love always find a way?
From deep character divides to romantic highs and gut-punching family revelations, this week’s chapters hit hard and heal slow. Elle's navigating love, legacy, and a long-distance heartbreak, while Parker is still trying to prove he's more than a pretty face with a PJ.
We’re breaking down personal growth, romantic vulnerability, and the oh-so-complicated dance between independence and intimacy. From analyzing emotional grand gestures to understanding the psychology of saying goodbye, we’re covering it all.
Plus, we chat renting out the Eiffel Tower, fantasy book maps, and the powerful realization that our parents are just people too. Whether you're team Elle or team what is she doing?!, this episode is full of heart, heat, and a whole lot of honest reflection.
Let’s get into it, bunchies!
