This is your next must-read beach-read from an exciting new voice. 'Carley Fortune perfects the nostalgia of young summer love and the choices that change us forever in Every Summer After, a smart and delightful novel that will tug on your heartstrings, and more than satisfy fans of Emily Henry. 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.

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. When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. 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.

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. 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. 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.
