Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.
Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.
For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.
When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.
Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Summer love can be a blast, but as Carley Fortune reminds us in her emotional debut novel, it can also bring heartache. As a teen, Persephone “Percy” Fraser spent summers at her family’s lake house, falling steadily more in love with her neighbour Sam. But a fateful decision she made at age 18 changed everything. Twelve years later, when Percy hears that Sam’s mother has died, she returns to pay her respects—and the past comes roaring back. Fortune smartly bounces between timelines so that the relationship between the teens grows organically in the past, and the funeral weekend barrels forward at an uncontrollable speed in the present. A steady stream of “Aww” and “Oh, no!” moments follow, each one making everything more uncertain. Canadian actress AJ Bridel adds to the scene-setting, portraying the excitement of the younger Percy and the apprehension of the older one. Let the romantic wave of Every Summer After carry you away.
