Praise For This Book


"Fortune's debut novel is filled with nostalgia and heart. Percy and Sam's history is compelling and nuanced, making the story fly by faster than the summer months themselves. Although just like the places we spend our summers, and the people we meet along the way, Percy and Sam just might stay in your heart far beyond the last page." - USA Today

"The magic and romance of summer is palpable." -Popsugar

"Every Summer After is a quintessential summer novel, full of longing and lost love, and hits on so many beloved tropes. You'll want to gobble it up in one satisfying bite." -BuzzFeed

"Any book that begins with a cocktail and a heartbreak-induced haircut has a strong likelihood of being just the book for me, but Every Summer Afteroutshone 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

"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 Waysand 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, New York Times bestselling author of The Push
