This one started out strong for me but then petered at as each summer is not in fact very different! Also one of those romances where you want to shake them and say “just talk to each other!!!”

4.25 stars! Carley Fortune's third romance novel, This Summer Will Be Different, felt more similar in tone to her debut Every Summer After, which remains my favorite of hers, although this one was lighter and more fun. The atmospheric setting of Prince Edward Island is the perfect backdrop for this angsty 'I've fallen for my best friend's brother' romance, and it quickly shot up my travel destination wishlist. I adored both our leads, as well as the side characters, too. The friendship between Lucy and Bridget is the heart of the book, and while the "conflict" reveal fell a little short for me, it WAS nice to read a more lighthearted novel. It's a perfect summer, beach, and/or vacation read. And one I would reread!
