Every Summer After

Ever since making a life-altering mistake, Persephone Fraser has felt the truth of the saying that you can never return home. For the past ten years, she has traded the shimmering, sunlit summers by the lake of her youth for a chic city apartment, where she keeps busy with friends, maintaining an emotional distance to protect herself. However, an unexpected phone call sends her back to Barry's Bay and reintroduces her to Sam Florek—the one person she believed she had left behind forever. For six consecutive summers, Percy and Sam shared idyllic days on the water and nights working in his family's restaurant, losing themselves in books and each other. Their friendship blossomed into a breathtaking romance, only to unravel dramatically. Yet, upon Percy’s return to the lake, their undeniable bond reemerges. Percy is forced to confront the choices that have haunted her and the self-imposed penance of the past decade, to finally decide whether their love can overcome the mistakes of their history. Spanning six years and a single pivotal weekend, "Every Summer After" weaves a sweeping and nostalgic tale of love, the people who shape us, and the unforgettable decisions that leave an indelible mark on our lives.
