Every Summer After

Seriously? 500+ pages of best friends who are PERFECT for each other, sexual tension but restraint and a mystery of a tragedy that tore it all apart. Then we finally get the big reveal and she slept with Charlie?!? But nothing was weird with Charlie when she comes to town? This is both predictable and unbelievable and infuriating. It felt like the teenage romance never grew up. Page after page of the same thing waiting for the big reveal. Could have been so much better.

Is it Love & Other Words with a hint of The Summer I Turned Pretty? Yes. Was it an easy listen while doing chores around the house? Also yes. Not super original but I did like the characters and writing style, although I have a couple notes for the editor on the overuse of the word "rasp." But we do like a guy who knows his way around an anatomy textbook.

Every Summer After is an emotional, nostalgic and beautifully written book and i totally loved it. The lead characters of the book are Persephone Fraser (percy) and Samuel Florek (sam) who are neighbors. They've been friends for a long time and Percy develops a crush on Sam. This book is a dual timeline of present day and 6 years past.

Also this book is written by a debut, Canadian Author CARLEY FORTUNE and being a debut author this is such an incredibly written book.

I'll recommend this book to everyone who likes romance and nostalgia.
Enjoyed the read.

This is literally just a copy of the summer I turned pretty
