Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
5.0
Percy (Persephone) created wonderful memories in Barry's Bay as a teen. Six amazing summers filled with adventure, friendship, and romance, but that all changed when she made the BIGGEST mistake of her life. The memories from Barry's Bay continue to haunt her.
Now, living in Toronto, she receives an unexpected phone call from an old friend. News that sends her racing back to Barry's Bay, back to the past, back to face her mistakes, and to come face to face with Sam - the man who holds her heart and that she has never been able to forget.
How will seeing Sam again affect Percy? Will the mistakes of the past cause chaos for the future? Will Percy be able to let Sam go and move on with her life, or will seeing him draw all the feelings up from the past?
My Review:
Carley Fortune created a slow-burn romantic love story that continued to draw me in page after page. Every Summer After flowed so nicely, I read it in one afternoon/evening.
The characters and storyline were extremely relatable and realistic. The tension and build of Percy and Sam's friendship and romantic relationship were felt in my gut and chest.
I absolutely loved that Carley Fortune based the book in Canada. Being from Ontario myself, I was able to place myself in some exact locations due to hearing familiar city names and "Timmy's" references.
Every Summer After was written in such a brilliant way, anyone would be able to place themselves into the character's shoes. The chapters went from Now and Then which blended the end of one chapter to the next smoothly.
This was my first read by Carley Fortune and definitely will not be the last. I have already started "Meet Me at the Lake."
