When Carley Fortune was in fourth grade, her family. 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. Set in a tiny lakeside town in Canada, 'Every Summer After' is a moving story of first love and second chances and we have an excerpt here. But she used to be a girl who loved the outdoors, spending her summers in a cabin by the lake in Barry’s Bay, swimming every day with the boy next door Sam, and his older brother Charlie. 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. Percy is in her late twenties, living a (somewhat) glamorous life in Toronto as a magazine editor in a high rise condo. 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. 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.įor 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.

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.
