Gottie H. Oppenheimer is a lot of things: seventeen. Great at maths. Tall. Motherless. And the kind of girl who thinks you can decipher people from a list of facts. 

And she’s losing time. Literally. The fabric of the universe surrounding her sleepy seaside town is beginning to fray, sending Gottie through wormholes to her past. To last summer, when her grandfather Grey died – and she lost her virginity to a boy who wouldn’t even hold her hand at the funeral.

Perhaps it’s insomnia. Perhaps it’s quantum physics. Or perhaps it’s something to do with Thomas Althorpe. Gottie hasn’t seen her former best friend since she was ten – the day he moved to Canada, leaving her behind with a scar on her hand and a black hole in her memory. But now he's back…

Over a summer of world-stopping kisses and rips in the space-time continuum, Gottie learns that to stop being afraid of the future, you’ve got to let go of the past.

THE SQUARE ROOT OF SUMMER will appeal to fans of THE SKY IS EVERYWHERE and BEFORE I FALL - YA contemporary with a twist.
