Author: Carley Fortune
“This Summer Will Be Different” is a romance novel by the Canadian author Carley Fortune published earlier this year.
The heart-warming story follows protagonist Lucy, who often goes on vacation to Prince Edward Island with her closest friend, Bridget. Here she meets Felix and develops a romantic connection with him.
Little does Lucy know, Felix is Bridget’s young brother, and she swings between her romantic relationship with him while at the same time trying not to ruin her friendship.
One of the novel’s strengths is how the author takes readers on a journey between the pages, transforming them from one moment to another, and keeping the reader engaged from the beginning.
Fortune’s vivid descriptions of the rugged coastline, quaint downtown shops, and warm, close-knit community bring out a strong sense of place that transports the reader to the setting.
Though the novel deals with intense events, the author includes moments of humor and lightness, while inviting the reader to fully immerse in Lucy’s journey.
Overall, Fortune’s masterful storytelling and compelling characters make this an immensely joyful to read for people searching for light and romantic stories for this summer.
The story is available in bookstores and online outlets like Amazon.
Fortune previously published “Every Summer After” in 2022 and “Meet Me at the Lake” in 2023.
