Overview:
This Summer Will Be Different is the addictive new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carley Fortune, the writer behind TikTok favourite Every Summer After. Set on the sun-soaked shores of Prince Edward Island, it follows Lucy and Felix through six secret-laden summers of longing, laughter and impossible timing. Fans of slow-burn romance and richly drawn settings will fall straight into this story of forbidden attraction and the courage it takes to finally choose yourself.

About the Book:
Lucy first meets Felix as a tourist holidaying on Prince Edward Island, never realising he is the younger brother of her best friend, Bridget. Their instant chemistry is undeniable, but the reasons they cannot be together stack up fast. Every summer, Lucy returns to the island with Bridget for oysters, sunshine and red sand beaches, promising herself she will resist Felix's pull. She rarely succeeds. What begins as a single reckless night stretches into six years of stolen moments, half-truths and a slow unravelling of secrets kept from Bridget, from Felix, and from herself. Fortune builds tension expertly across each summer visit, layering hope against heartbreak as Lucy reckons with the cost of the lies she has told to protect those she loves most. The island setting is vividly rendered, becoming almost a character of its own, while the push-and-pull between Lucy and Felix keeps the pages turning to a deeply satisfying resolution. This is a story about loving the wrong person at the wrong time, and finding the bravery to choose differently.
