This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune
5.0
This is the best summer romance! The setting of the book is dreamy. Not only could I picture Prince Edward Island, but I could hear it and smell it from Carley Fortune’s descriptions too. PEI is officially on my list of places to visit. I also loved how Anne of Green Gables references were woven throughout the story.
I usually have a hard time with best friend’s brother tropes. There can be so much secrecy and betrayal of the best friend, which often puts me on edge for the whole book. The way this was written and the respect shown (as well as the fact that the friend is clearly hiding something too), I was able to put that aside and really enjoy the story. Lucy’s relationship with Bridget was so real. They are both keeping things from each other but in a way that is so realistic and understandable that I was just waiting for it all to come out to see if their friendship could withstand the secrets.
Now to Lucy and Felix—what a dream couple! Before they are even dating, you can tell they are something special. He notices her favorite breakfast and then cooks it for her. She notices what he likes to read and then sends him books. They are so naturally drawn to each other and both feel at home when they are together. I loved the past/present timelines to really see their magnetism. And hooray for no miscommunication and mature main characters! I absolutely loved it!
