Five summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.A magazine writer has to make a choice when she returns to the lake she grew up on, and to the man she thought she'd never have to live without, in this achingly nostalgic debut.They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. 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. Until the day she gets a call that sends her racing back to Barry's Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek.For five summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family 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. And slowly that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.When Percy returns to the lake to attend Sam's mother's funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Percy must confront the decisions she's made and the years she's spent punishing herself for them, in order to determine, once and for all, whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.Told over the course of five years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

A radiant, new escape to the lake from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune I never anticipated Charlie Florek. Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it. Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart. Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.

Fern Brookbanks har spildt alt for stor en del af sit voksne liv på at tænke på Will Baxter. I begyndelsen af tyverne tilbragte hun fireogtyve timer i selskab med den irriterende lækre og idealistiske kunstner – et tilfældigt møde, der udviklede sig til et daglangt eventyr i byen Toronto. Timingen var ikke god, men samhørigheden mellem dem var ubestridelig: De delte hver eneste hemmelighed, hver eneste fantasi og indgik en pagt om at mødes igen et år senere. Fern dukkede op. Will gjorde ikke.Som toogtrediveårig er Ferns liv slet ikke, som hun engang forventede, at det ville være. I stedet for at bo i byen er Fern hjemme igen, hvor hun leder sin mors resort ved søbredden– noget, hun svor, hun aldrig ville. Resortet er i dårlig stand, hendes ekskæreste er direktør, og Fern aner ikke, hvor hun skal begynde.Hun har brug for en plan – en livline. Til hendes store overraskelse kommer denne livline i form af Will, som ankommer ni år for sent slæbende på en kuffert og med et tilbud om at hjælpe ...

"Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn't. At thirty-two, Fern's life doesn't look at all how she once imagined it would. Instead of living in the city, Fern's back home, running her mother's lakeside resort--something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend's the manager, and Fern doesn't know where to begin. She needs a plan--a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern's going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern's not sure she wants to know what it is. But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?"--

Det tog dem seks somre at forelske sig, men kun et øjeblik at glide fra hinanden. Nu får de én weekend til at gøre det om.Percy og Sam mødte hinanden en sommer for 17 år siden. Dengang var de 13 år gamle, og i løbet af sommerens lange dage ved søen blomstrede der et nært venskab frem mellem dem – og med tiden udviklede venskabet sig til noget dybere. Men da Sam tager på universitetet, går det hele pludseligt og voldsomt i stykker. Nu er Percy voksen, og selvom hun har et mageligt liv som redaktør på et boligmagasin, undgår hun, at andre kommer hende for nær. Men en dag ringer Sams bror.

De tog seks somre for dem, at forelske sig. Kun et øjeblik at glide fra hinanden. Nu får de én weekend til at gøre det om. Percy og Sam mødte hinanden en sommer for 17 år siden. Dengang var de 13 år gamle, og i løbet af sommerens lange dage ved søbredden og de lune aftener med arbejdet i hans families restaurant blomstrede der hurtigt et nært venskab frem mellem dem – og med tiden udviklede venskabet sig til noget mere og dybere. Men da Sam rejser væk for at begynde på universitetet, går det hele pludseligt og voldsomt i stykker. Nu er Percy voksen, og selvom hun har et mageligt liv som redaktør på et boligmagasin i Toronto, undgår hun, at andre kommer hende for nær. Men en dag ringer Sams bror. Han fortæller, at hans og Sams mor er død, og Percy tager uden tøven tilbage til den lille flække ved søen for at deltage i begravelsen. Det bliver en svær weekend for Percy at genbesøge det sted, hun engang troede skulle være hendes hjem hele livet – for nu må hun se Sam, sin fortid og sine egne valg i øjnene. Percy har kun denne ene weekend til at rette op på fortiden. Alle disse somre er en kærlig og inderlig roman om Percys ’second chance’, hvor fortidens lykkelige somre og en nutidig weekend smelter sammen. Alle disse somre er fortællingen om det nostalgiske blik på kærligheden, og hvordan vores valg påvirker os hele livet.
