This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune

3.0

---

My bar for romance has gotten too high I think. This was really cute, the characters had great chemistry and (sort of) personalities outside of their love story. But I found each scene too similar - each summer was just a repeat story and it took too long to get to the climactic points at the end. And I wanted to be invested in the friendship subplot but because of all the secrets and withholding the first 3/4 of the book, it didn't land as hard as it should have. It was fast, easy, and a great beach read if that's what you need. I'm not sure I'm a fan of Fortunes flowery writing style? But also now I just really want to travel to PEI.
