Our Review of Every Summer After

Carley Fortune’s "Every Summer After" is a heartwarming and bittersweet exploration of love, friendship, and the passage of time. The story begins with a chance meeting between two thirteen-year-olds, Percy and Sam, who form an unbreakable bond that carries them through the most formative years of their lives. The review highlights how the cover of the book perfectly encapsulates the simplicity and charm of their early relationship, capturing the essence of childhood summers spent at the lake, where their friendship blossomed into something more.

Percy’s family purchases a lakeside cabin next door to Sam’s house, setting the stage for countless summers filled with shared dreams, deep conversations, and the kind of connection that feels destined. Percy, an aspiring writer, finds encouragement in Sam, who reads her stories and motivates her to keep writing. On the other hand, Sam, driven by his father’s untimely death from heart disease, dreams of becoming a doctor. Their shared aspirations and mutual support create a bond that is both comforting and profound, with Percy’s friendship bracelet acting as a symbol of their inseparable connection.

The dynamics of their relationship are further enriched by the presence of Charlie, Sam’s older brother, who adds a layer of humor and complexity to the story. Charlie’s carefree and flirtatious nature contrasts with Sam’s more serious demeanor, yet the three of them together create a trio that feels like family. The idyllic setting of Barry Bay, with its two houses side by side, becomes a character in itself, a place so vividly described that readers can almost feel the warmth of the sun on the docks and the coolness of the lake water.

But the story is not without its heartache. A mysterious event at the age of eighteen drives a wedge between Sam and Percy, leading to twelve years of silence. When Percy is invited back to Barry Bay for the funeral of Sam and Charlie’s mother, a woman she loved like her own, she knows she must confront the past and the mistake that led her to walk away from Sam. The guilt she carries is a heavy burden, one that has prevented her from finding happiness in any other relationship.

The narrative structure of the novel, alternating between the present and the past, allows readers to slowly uncover the layers of Sam and Percy’s relationship. As the story shifts back and forth, we witness the evolution of their friendship into something more, and the painful unraveling that followed. The gradual reveal of the secret that tore them apart keeps the tension high, making the eventual confession and resolution all the more poignant.

"Every Summer After" is a beautifully crafted story that resonates with the emotional complexities of first love and the long-lasting impact of the choices we make. The characters feel real and relatable, their struggles and joys echoing the experiences of anyone who has ever loved and lost. Fortune’s writing is engaging and evocative, making this a book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. It’s a story about the bonds we form, the mistakes we make, and the hope that, even after years of silence, love can find its way back.
