This Summer Will Be Different | 
pick3.5⭐️ Found this to be a pretty good romance novel. I really liked the setting of PEI (been there and I would like to go back again) and the characters felt like they could have existed. Did feel that it lagged a bit in the middle of the book. #2024 #bookreview #romance #canadian #pei #contempoary #fiction

#finished: I completed two books this past week and because I had finished a long book on the 5th, I felt like I had read way too much.
#currentlyreading: As I said above, I had read a lot over the course of over the week and a few days prior, that my brain just felt like mush and I didn't get much else worked on.
Due to the Thanksgiving long weekend here in Canada, my weekend is a little longer than usual. I am planning on hopefully getting to most of these during the next two days. #weekendreads
pickLove books which you can read in one day. This had all the features of what makes a good chick lit; love, angst, corniness with a healthy sprinkling of character development and independence. But what‘s better than the romance was the friendship dynamic between the main character and her best friend. Call me cliche but partners (guys) come and go but best friends are forever!
pickWanna get away? Spend time with THIS SUMMER WIILL BE DIFFERENT by Carley Fortune, a delicious summer on Prince Edward Island with a cast of characters who will win your heart.
pickSoft pick. It was very steamy and easy to read. I think I felt more connected to the setting than the characters. I see why people love it though.
Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it ☀️🦪
pickA sweet, unfolding story full of chemistry and big emotions. This is a perfect, fun summer read. I wish we got Felix‘s POV, that‘s the only thing that could‘ve made this better. Book #76 in 2024
pickThis particular cast of characters is very privileged & very white. However, I loved so much about this sexy snack of a book! The setting, Prince Edward Island, is a (white way of) delight with all of the Anne of Green Gables references you could want. The love interest, Felix (aka Wolf) is dreamy. He‘s got all of the best traits in common with Jess from the Gilmore Girls & none of the annoying quirks that drove me crazy (not in a good way).👇🏻
pickI loved this one. PEI is someplace I want to visit again so I really enjoyed the locale for this book. This is my first book by this author and I‘ll be checking out some others.
so-soI am giving this a so-so because I just don‘t think I am the right reader for straight up romance 101 for twenty somethings. This is my third book by this author and I have the same complaint about all of them. This one was slightly more irksome because of all the ridiculous PEI references. I know, it takes place on the island but do we have to hear about Cows Creamery butter every time someone makes toast? Probably lots of readers will love it.
pickI think that I just love anything that Carley Fortune writes!! Her books are the epitome of a perfect summer read in my opinion. 4/5 ⭐️
pickI loved this so much! Small tourist town, best friend‘s brother, growing pains to work through all make for a great summer read! Princess Edward Island added to my list of places to visit 😍 #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was so good! I liked how their relationship grows, the importance of being there and showing up for your friend, and really, Lucy‘s growth. The setting is magical too - I‘d really like to visit PEI now! #bookspinbingo #doublespin
pickJune 12, 2024 I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT. The ending was positive and she ends up with Felix. The end. I would give this book 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If I could, I would say 5.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.
June 12, 2024 Took a short break from reading and now I am on my reading grind. Going to finish this book soon and then move on to continuing the Daughters of Shandong. This is another good pick from Carly Fortune. Not sure which one I like more but this is one of my favorites by her.
June 7, 2024 I have reached page 191. Things are heating up between Lucy (aka Bee) and Felix. Since Lucy and Bridget are good friends, and Felix is Bridget's younger brother, Lucy is not quite sure how she can keep a secret from Bridget. Bridget herself seems to be hiding smth from Lucy. Neither wants to talk about it until Felix tells Lucy to pull Bridget aside. When Lucy realizes how Joy (Felix's ex) is perfect for him, Felix senses jealousy.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Look no further if you‘re in the mood for a fun summer romance! Be prepared to daydream about traveling to Prince Edward Island, crave fresh oysters, swoon over the chemistry between Felix and Lucy, and miss your best friend. 🎧
pickWell, it seems I‘m an auto read for this author. This is a fun romance sans a ubiquitous fake-dating or miscommunication trope. It‘s also a celebration of supportive best friends. But what I most look forward to in her books is her love for all things Canada. 🇨🇦 I‘d love a stay on PEI, and Anne of Green Gables is added to my TBR!
pickNow I need to plan a trip to Prince Edward Island 😍
“Carley‘s latest takes readers to Canada‘s Prince Edward Island and follows two different love stories: a messy, complicated attraction between two strangers; and the lifelong bond of best friends.”
