“5 STARS!!!!! This Summer Will Be Different is a captivating best friend’s brother trope. I was smitten by Felix and Lucy’s relationship. Their chemistry was perfect! Felix is my new book boyfriend. I can’t stop thinking about them. Lucy and Bridget’s friendship was just so special and what a true best friend should be. The setting was on Prince Edward Island and was so beautifully described that I totally want to vacation there. I hated that it had to end and will definitely reread. ”

“Another stunning romance, a perfect getaway, and Carley's best work yet! This book will make you want to escape to Prince Edward Island, right along with the characters. Heartfelt, emotional, and connective, this is a sweet and swoony romance deeply rooted in friendship and dreams. Bridget and Lucy are best friends, and they have an important rule - don't fall in love with Bridget's brother Felix. Oops... I love the friendship in this story! So good!! The audiobook was amazing! I always love when an author is involved with the reading. You can really feel the passion and care they put into the story when they are one of the audiobook readers.”

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.

“What a dreamy and sexy summer novel. Carley Fortune knows how to tug at your heart. This is a book filled with great food, lots of charm, and a young woman navigating the tricky question of how she wants to live her life.”
—Kiley Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Such a Fun Age and Come and Get It
“This Summer Will Be Different is a deep and shimmering story of friendship, sex, and— most of all— love. From page one, Lucy and Felix reached right in and grabbed my heart and they haven’t let go. Be prepared to cry, swoon, ache, and cheer. Stunning.
—Jennifer Niven, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places
“Carley Fortune has managed to dream up another entirely fresh, deeply layered and beautifully written romance. Except this time the chemistry between Lucy and Felix could power all of Prince Edward Island. For years. Clear your calendar and buckle up—this one will leave you breathless.”
