About this listen
THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL 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 the critics say
“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.” —Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of This Time Next Summer

Great Summer Read
Loved the story and references to PEI. If you have never been there this book makes you want to go! Having been to the island many times the author does it justice.

Booking a flight to PEI after this!
As per usual - AJ Bridel has the best performance.
Carley Fortune is an automatic buy - a realistic love story that Lucy and Felix have to overcome. This one features the best parts of a friendship - and how that friendship changes with big moments in early adulthood. Oysters, spice and everything nice.

Born and Raised Islander who can't put this down.
Absolutely stunner of a novel.
I was looking for something I could read in the summer, and being born and raised on the south shore of Prince Edward Island, this one caught my attention.
I absolutely loved the characters in this book and knew it wouldn't be a one time reading scenario.
Carley captured the culture of the island beautifully, and even helped this islander to remember how beautiful this place truly is.
It has also been used as a guide for our staycations this year as well.
There aren't many books I would recommend to anyone without knowing their reading preferences, but I will say, try not to love this book.
I'm even getting my husband to read it with me as we go on weekend drives across the island.
Absolutely stunning job Carley. It was a pleasure to read a book with our little island serving as a back drop.

A love story about lovers, best friends and PEI 💕
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As someone who has stood in PEI, in awe of how gorgeous it is. This book just hit different. It’s so COZY. I was smiling the whole time. Uugh. So good. Also as a Canadian, I love reading stories based in Canada.

Wonderful
This is the best type of audio book, where the narrator is just fabulous and the story sets a beautiful pace. All I think when I listen to this book is : stars, flowers, magic, seashells
I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

I couldn’t stop listening to this beautiful story
I’ve been to Nova Scotia, but not PEI; but I could imagine the scenery from the descriptions, and the story… beautifully crafted. I had a brief moment of dislike for Bridget (prior to her wedding), she struck me as a selfish, spoiled, character, but I quickly changed opinion when the reason was revealed. I couldn’t stop rooting for Lucy and Felix.

⭐️Captivating Page Turner ⭐️
I opted for the audible version since I’m always driving and was so happy I did…. It’s narrated by the one and only Carly Fortune so I felt like she was telling me this story the way she wanted it to be read.
Lucy and Brigitte’s friendship is truly something to cherish but the connection between Lucy and Felix, WOW 🔥 you felt the steamy energy. I can’t wait to see this story at the movies 😉

The perfect summer read
Loved this book from start to finish. It was a fun book to listen to as a Maritmer and being familiar with the island.
