All Our Yesterdays was the last time-travel book I read. I adored it, but I always wanted to read a new one, the problem is I still haven't found one that caught my eye. Cold Summer sounds really different from what I've read, so I hope I can give it a chance.
Check it out!

Today, he’s a high school dropout with no future.
Tomorrow, he’s a soldier in World War II.
Kale
Jackson has spent years trying to control his time-traveling ability
but hasn’t had much luck. One day he lives in 1945, fighting in the war
as a sharpshooter and helplessly watching soldiers—friends—die. Then the
next day, he’s back in the present, where WWII has bled into his modern
life in the form of PTSD, straining his relationship with his father
and the few friends he has left. Every day it becomes harder to hide his
battle wounds, both physical and mental, from the past.
When the ex-girl-next-door, Harper, moves back to town, thoughts of what could be if only he had a normal life begin to haunt him. Harper reminds him of the person he was before the PTSD, which helps anchor him to the present. With practice, maybe Kale could remain in the present permanently and never step foot on a battlefield again. Maybe he can have the normal life he craves.
But then Harper finds Kale’s name in a historical article—and he’s listed as a casualty of the war. Kale knows now that he must learn to control his time-traveling ability to save himself and his chance at a life with Harper. Otherwise, he’ll be killed in a time where he doesn’t belong by a bullet that was never meant for him.
