One week before having to part ways for good, best friends Alex and Franklyn must choose whether to admit their feelings to one another or bury those hopes forever. I wanted Franklyn my entire life but never dared to speak the words. Not until an acceptance letter arrives and seals our fates. He's going to New York, I'm going to Santa Barbara. Sooner than I want, we will have a continent between us. It's now or never. But I'm a coward. The Last Summer Vacation is a sweet short story prequel to the Frat Brats of Santa Barbara.
