This Summer Will Be Different

By: Carley Fortune

Narrated by: AJ Bridel, Carley Fortune

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

A glorious and tantalizing new 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.

childish but sweet

I love the Author, but this book seems very childish, like it was written by a very young person, imagining adulthood.
I did love the choice of location and hoping to travel there one day.

The narration is bad

Lots of mispronouncing of words and sounding uninterested at times in the story. I’m shocked that this could be the author reading her own story. The story was ok. I agree that the way the lead behaved was immature and all of Bridget’s drama was way over the top for what actually ended up being the issue.

Lacked depth

The main characters lacked depth until the last few chapters. It was a struggle to finish unlike the other books by this author.

outstanding read for summer

this was a very soft and cute love story between family friends and how relationships begin and flourish into a beautiful story about true love honesty and life moving fowardno matter the direction you chose to go.

FUN FUN FUN!

I laughed and cried! I loved this book as much as Every Summer After, which I adored! The chemistry between Lucy and Felix is off the charts!!! The loyal friendship between Lucy and Brigitte is so sweet. This is such a great feel good story that kept pulling me along that I couldn’t put it down. I will read this one again and again. A true beach read book. AJ Breidel is amazing as always and brought the characters to life!

Engaging romance set in Prince Edward Island

Chemistry among the characters is great. It’s hard to put the book down. I hope this gets picked up for a movie.

Just ok; narration not great

Bridget was the low point of this whole book. Narration was another low. Overall story and especially the end were good to great.

Needs to be a movie!!!!!💝💝💝

This book has everything and needs to be a movie! Sex, love, friendship, and more.

I love a good love story

It’s been a while since I’ve fallen in love with a love story. Finally something good! I felt the connection, the build up. And I really enjoyed both their personalities. Lots of spice, lots of angst. Their relationship grew over time. Realistic and I loved every second! Wonderful narrating !!!

Fun read!

Another good ready from CF! Loved the relationships between best friends, siblings, and Lucy and Felix. I now have PEI on my bucket list of places to visit!
