One last summer is an amazing and Interesting fictional story with protagonist named Raif laid back 23-year old,Raif stays in the town for a while and gets to meet some new people and makes some friends before going back to Chicago to meet his friend where he meets Fay whom he later develops unique and important relationship with.
Raif had a strong moral code that was something to be emulated and his principles and decision to do what is right were evident in his relationships with his friends, both new and old.

Having lucid dreams and having the power if a dreamer sounds interesting. I would like to know everything that Raif dreams about but this review didn't intrigue me at all so I will skip on reading it.

"One Last Summer" is an interesting fictional story with a weird combination, i.e., lucid dreams, the heroics, and the supernatural. I would love to read it. Congratulations on BOTD!

The protagonist's ability to lucid dream and his encounters with a dream teacher create a compelling and original storyline that keeps readers intrigued throughout. It is an intriguing book, no doubt.

This book sounds interesting. The blend of supernatural elements with Raif's unique experiences creates a story that's both intriguing and deeply layered. The concept of lucid dreaming and the idea of being a "keeper of the heart of the world" adds a mystical dimension that sets this book apart from typical summer tales. Congrats!

The book sounds very interesting. Supernatural plots and turning of events to discovering self is a great combination. I can't wait to read it especially with my sister who enjoys dreams related books!

I like that the main character, Raif, is laid back and sociable and performs some heroic acts. This together with the fast pace of the book makes it quite interesting. Thanks for the review.

Definitely not my cup of tea, because everything about this book goes against my tastes in literature. Starting with the fact that I don't like sci-fi as a genre, ending with intolerance of a sudden supernatural twist. Sorry, I will have to skip, but congrats with BOTD, anyway!

One Last Summer by Craig Christophel sounds like a compelling mix of supernatural adventure and deep moral exploration. I’m intrigued by Raif’s journey as a dreamer and his unique relationship with Fay.

Hi
This book is deeply emotional and thought-provoking that captures the bittersweet essence of nostalgia, loss, and the enduring bonds of friendship. Christophel’s writing is both lyrical and accessible, striking a balance that makes the book a pleasure to read while also offering depth and nuance. One Last Summer is a compelling choice that won’t disappoint.

"One Last Summer" by Craig Christophel is a unique and captivating novel centered around Raif, a laid-back 23-year-old who experiences a life-changing summer. After performing a heroic act in a new town, Raif develops meaningful relationships and discovers his gift as a lucid dreamer. Guided by a mysterious teacher in his dreams, he learns about his role as a "keeper of the heart of the world. Adding it to my reading list.
