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 that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. 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 the day she gets a 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 restaurant and curling up together with books, Percy and Sam had been inseparable. And slowly that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.

When Percy returns to the lake, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Percy must confront the decisions she's made and the years she's spent punishing herself for them, in order to determine, once and for all, 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.

Hmmmm mixed feelings about this one! An enjoyable enough story and easy to listen to on Audible. I loved the setting of the lake and how they first met that summer. However other parts felt repetitive and annoying. Sooo many times the author described Sam's eyes, it became laughable! I had predicted the ending and was cross with the characters when it happened, but felt it was wrapped up nicely enough at the end. 3 stars.

It was okay!

Overall I loved this book because the main characters were very well drawn. Persey is likeable but flawed, Sam is the same. It was an excellent deep dive into the intensity of first love and how it impacts wholes lives. I loved the setting mainly in rural Northern Ontario and the strong sense of Canada which made this book stand out. Similarly, the narrator having a Canadian accent obviously added to sense of place which was very well captured by the author. My one major complaint is the lack of flushing out of some of the secondary characters who played important roles in the book including Sam’s older brother Charlie, Persey’s parents were like cardboard cutouts and a bit more detail would have helped. Delilah considering her importance to Persey from the very beginning of her early teens needed to be more than a stereotypical overly confident teenager and in the grown up years, I would have liked to have been given a better sense of Taylor than again a stereotypical type A, beautiful woman. I can see this becoming a film. Highly recommend to lovers of romance and nostalgia.

A great exploration into young love

🌊☀️ Second Chances & Summer Nostalgia

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nostalgic, emotional, and totally summery

This book honestly felt like a warm summer evening — a little nostalgic, a little bittersweet, and full of heart. Every Summer After follows Percy and Sam, childhood best friends turned first loves, who have a major falling out and reconnect years later back at their old lake town.

The dual timeline works really well — I loved getting to see their summers as teens and then how they’ve grown up (and apart). The build-up of what actually went wrong kept me hooked, even though I guessed it before the reveal. Still, the emotional payoff was so satisfying.

Carley Fortune writes atmosphere so beautifully — you can practically smell the sunscreen and hear the water lapping against the dock. It gave me all the Love and Other Words vibes, but with its own charm.

Why not five stars? A couple of moments felt a bit predictable and the ending wrapped up just a little too neatly for me. But overall, I adored the nostalgia, the summer romance, and that whole “what if” feeling it leaves you with.

If you love second chances, childhood sweethearts, and small-town summers, definitely give this one a go. Perfect beach read with a side of feels. ☀️💛

🏃‍♀️ PS: Much like a Couch to 5K, don’t try to sprint this one — it’s best enjoyed at a steady pace, preferably with snacks and sunshine.
