What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this novel? It’s heartbreaking, incredibly well-written, and has a plot that keeps you turning pages. And my goodness how is this a debut novel??? Every Summer After is easily one of my favorite books of the year. I read it on my Kindle but I may just need to purchase a copy to just hold and reread. The foundational relationship built between the main character Persephone Fraser and Sam Florek is believable in a manner that allows readers to easily lose themselves in this fictional tale.

Many comparisons have been made between Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren. While I have not read Lauren’s novel, I tremendously enjoyed Every Summer After. And while I usually include a brief synopsis in my reviews, I hope you trust me enough to just go into this one without truly knowing what the book is about. I read this book 5 months ago, yet it is one I still think about to this day. Who am I kidding, I should definitely purchase a copy to cherish forever.
