This Summer Will be Different is the perfect summer read!
I loved the setting. The description of Prince Edward Island made me want to book a trip right now! I could smell the salty water, taste the delicious food and feel the sun on my skin. The story is told by Lucy's perspective, in past and present. It's a lovestory but also about friendship and found family. I loved the strong bond between the FMC Lucy and her childhood friend Bridget. Them being there for eachother in the good and bad times, having eachother's back and empowering one another.
Felix is Bridget's brother and Lucy clearly has a thing for him. But she and her best friend have three rules when they are in PEI: eat as much oysters as possible, leave the city behind and do not fall in love with Bridget's brother. Lucy is trying her best but their chemistry is undeniable. I could feel the electricity between those pages.
I flew through that book and those characters are simply beautiful, it was pure joy to follow them through the story.
Not only is this story about finding love but also about finding yourself and I can't recommend this book enough.
Thank you for Carley Fortune, Berkley Publishing & NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
