I just love Carley Fortune and the beautiful stories that she has written! Carley has a way of writing such captivating summer stories that steal your heart and leave you wanting more.
This Summer Will Be Different grabbed my attention from the start and I could not stop thinking about it anytime I put the book down. The dreamy coastal setting of Prince Edward Island where the book took place most of the time had me wanting to pack my bags and head to the island!
The journey of the two main characters, Lucy and Felix and the five years that led up to their relationship was such a fun story. The book went back and forth from present time to the past when Lucy and Felix had just met. I was obsessed with the instant spark and fire that shot between Lucy and Felix and loved that it continued on from day one.
The story heavily involved Lucy’s friendship with Felix’s sister, Bridget. Their friendship was truly something else and had me in tears many times as their friendship progressed over the years. I enjoyed reading about their support of one another and seeing how it never faded and only strengthened over the years.
The connections and the character developments in the book are some of my favorites that I have read and I absolutely loved the strength and depth that was witnessed on each page. The characters journeys and paths through the entire book were written perfectly and I truly enjoyed every second of this story.

About this item
THE INSTANT #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.

This book is fantastic for escaping reality and sending you to Prince Edward Island. The descriptions and details floored me. I could see the rich red earth, the emerald green of the fields, the salty air drenching your soul. I devoured each detail as quickly as possible. The characters fit in perfectly. Lucy the soul who needs to discover herself and where she belongs. Bridget is the best friend anyone can ask for. Her life may be in Toronto, but her heart is on PEI. Her brother Felix, aka Wolf. The man whose looks can stop any woman in her tracks. The blue of his eyes as enrapturing as the ocean. The perfect setting, phenomenally written characters, and a plot that keeps you reading at high rates of speed.
Bridget has three rules for Lucy when she is on PEI. The most important is to never fall in love with her brother. With that rule hanging over her head, she had no idea the type of fire Felix could start within her. She lives for their trips to the island to unwind, and to take in the best view...Felix. They stumbled across one another on Lucy's first trip to PEI, landing them tangled in his sheets. What she didn't know at the time was that he was Bridget's brother. Leaving her to bury her feelings and desires for him. Leaving her to compare every man she dates to him. Having her dream of a life where there are no rules. When Bridget disappears to the island days before her wedding, Lucy follows. Wanting to know what has left her together friend, drifting in the wind. As secrets are withheld and sparks fly, will their friendship hold?
This is such a fun read. I wanted to dive into a lobster roll, followed by fried clams, sitting on the dock overlooking the ocean. I loved how the story plays out. Keeping you on edge with the drama going on in Bridget's life, that she is holding onto. Making your mind run wild with possibilities. This is the perfect beach read.

amazing! beautiful story!
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024
This story charmed me! Just the setting in Prince Edward Island and the inclusion of quotes from Anne of Green Gables bumped it up to a 2-star read for me. Add to that a heartwarming story about friendship and the most beautiful romance Miss Fortune has written yet, and this becomes a 5-star read all the way! The author's vivid descriptions transported me to PEI – I could practically see the majestic beaches and charming homes, smell the colorful flowers, and taste the delicious food. Lucy and Felix's love story is truly special, and it will stay with me for a long time.

It was a little tough to get in to & a bit rough to follow- but towards the middle it was a lot easier & ended up being a really sweet story line.

A love story that takes place on Prince Edward Island and has characters devouring oysters at every opportunity? Count me in and someone bring me some oysters please! This romance follows the best friend's brother trope over a period of five years and while the reason they can't be together is a little flimsy, the chemistry and beautifully written love scenes more than make up for it. The audiobook is expertly narrated by A.J. Bridel and I enjoyed her delivery and the life she brought to the story. This is another winner from Carley Fortune and I had to add it to my favorites shelf.

My favorite thing about this book was the beautiful friendship between Bridget & Bee. It was very soulmate/sisterhood type of friendship and I absolutely loved it. The found family will forever be my favorite.
The summer islander vibes were immaculate & it made me want to be whisked away on an island. At first I wasn’t sure how to feel about Felix & Lucy’s relationship. It seemed very lust based & I wanted more beautiful moments between the two when going back into the past. It really picked up for me in the last 20% when they slowly started talking again and falling in love. The ending was perfect.
