This Summer Will Be Different
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ∙ A glorious and tantalizing escape from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune.
This summer they’ll keep their promise. This summer they won't give into temptation. This summer will be different.
Lucy is the tourist vacationing at a beach house on Prince Edward Island. Felix is the local who shows her a very good time. The only problem: Lucy doesn’t know he’s her best friend’s younger brother. Lucy and Felix’s chemistry is unreal, but the list of reasons why they need to stay away from each other is long, and they vow to never repeat that electric night again.
It’s easier said than done.
Each year, Lucy escapes to PEI for a big breath of coastal air, fresh oysters and crisp vinho verde with her best friend, Bridget. Every visit begins with a long walk on the beach, beneath soaring red cliffs and a golden sun. And every visit, Lucy promises herself she won’t wind up in Felix’s bed. Again.
If Lucy can’t help being drawn to Felix, at least she’s always kept her heart out of it.
When Bridget suddenly flees Toronto a week before her wedding, Lucy drops everything to follow her to the island. Her mission is to help Bridget through her crisis and resist the one man she’s never been able to. But Felix’s sparkling eyes and flirty quips have been replaced with something new, and Lucy’s beginning to wonder just how safe her heart truly is.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a sucker for a “my best friends brother” trope and this one is definitely a good one. I’m also a sucker for the east coast of Canada and this hits all the check lists and PEI lore I know and love. Such a great summer read. The characters are fun and cute. They are funny and so dimensional. I love how Lucy grows and finds herself and learns to love herself. To find what she needs and makes her own goals and achievements. She stands up for herself and learns to put her own needs first. But also falls in love and doesn’t let it change anything, it makes them both better people. And helps them see what they really want and they work together to get there. It is such a It is well written and just a well rounded book. I do genuinely enjoy how there is good communication and still some drama within it.
