“Any book that begins with a cocktail-and-heartbreak-induced haircut has a strong likelihood of being just the book for me, but Every Summer After outshone even my highest hopes. Fortune’s wit is sharp, her prose is gorgeous, and her characters thrum with the rare kind of life and breath we readers are constantly on the lookout for. This is a radiant debut that packs an emotional wallop.”
—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation and Beach Read

“[I]mmensely likable…. Fortune’s subtle writing is suffused with heartache, and she does an especially good job capturing the unmistakable aura of summer on the lake in small-town Ontario — a setting that shimmers with heat and makes Sam and Percy’s passionate love story breezy and inviting.”
—The New York Times

“A sweet story about second chances, and how the future we imagine for ourselves is never quite what it turns out to be.”
—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Two Ways and Wish You Were Here

“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. This is your next must-read beach-read from an exciting new voice. A total joy to devour!”
—Ashley Audrain, #1 bestselling author of The Push

“Set in Ontario’s idyllic cottage country, Carley Fortune’s debut Every Summer After follows a couple—Persephone (Percy) and Sam—as they navigate loss, broken promises, and unrequited love. In a “then/now” narrative spanning nearly two decades, Fortune deftly explores the push and pull of a relationship burdened by past mistakes and misunderstandings, and how it’s as much about choice as it is fate. Evocative and nostalgic, this novel is perfect for those who covet steamy summer dock days and second-chance love stories. I devoured it!”
—Karma Brown, #1 bestselling author of Recipe for a Perfect Wife

“Just like summer, I didn’t want this epic, nostalgic tale of youthful romance all grown up to end. Set in Ontario's cottage country, one of my favourite places on earth, this tantalizing debut is a perfectly gorgeous summer love story fans of Jojo Moyes and Emily Henry should add to their wish lists immediately!”
—Marissa Stapley, bestselling author of Lucky, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick

“[An] absorbing, nostalgia-tinged romcom. . . . It’s the type of book that you’ll want to finish in one sitting and that will leave you with a giddy, butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling one minute and break your heart the next.”

“Every Summer After Is The Sexiest Read Of 2022...Set in northern Ontario’s Barry’s Bay, Every Summer After will make you feel nostalgic for cottage summers and crushes....Prepare to fall in love (and maybe call your summer camp crush).”

—BuzzFeed, "23 Books To Read If You Loved The Summer I Turned Pretty"

“A spectacular debut…Alternating between the past and present, the story flawlessly conveys the lovers’ growth both together and apart, and the summery setting provides an idyllic backdrop to their path back to each other. Centered on redemption and forgiveness, this sweeping, heartfelt romance proves impossible to put down.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
