Debut novel?! I now want to read everything she's ever written!
The writing was great, the characters were perfectly flawed. Would this have gone down the same way in real life? Not a chance. But that's the magic of books, they're an escape.
Friends to lovers, second chance romance. Yes please! ♥️😭

I’ve been putting off reading a Carley Fortune book for literally years because I knew that, firstly, I would love them and I don’t have the time to become obsessed with a series (even though I do that unintentionally every week) and, secondly, I would have my heart ripped out of my chest. Turns out I was right!
Every Summer After is sad, beautiful, tragic, and beautiful again. It is nostalgia and sweetness woven with betrayal and yearning. My heart physically ached reading this book, for Percy, for Sam, and for Charlie. Oh Charlie, what becomes of you?!
I love Carley Fortune’s writing. She feeds us these tiny nuggets as we go, foreshadowing to an extent but really just saying, “Hey, you’re going to want to remember this because something juicy as all hell is coming up.” Could I predict Percy’s story? Absolutely. Was it still jaw-dropping and heartbreaking? 100%. Sam’s side? Well, I never guessed that. Pain. Pure pain. What could have been…
As much as I loved the way that we were drop-fed those little nuggets, the only reason this isn’t a 5-star read for me is because, at times, the ways that they were worded felt almost too embellished that, even though I was reading in my head, I was tripping over the words. Some of the sentences that were guiding us to a realisation were also quite wordy and fanciful and had me needing to reread them a few times to determine that, yes, my thinking was correct and we’ve just had a new piece of information confirmed and/or presented to us. Ironically, I think I’ve just done the same thing trying to explain what I mean. I’m really using far too many words. I just don’t know how to explain it!
Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go and mourn the end of this book, and also very quickly google if Charlie gets a book because I need to see him get a happy ending. Ok thanks bye.
