By Carley Fortune.
I couldn’t put this book down, and wanted more when it ended. Alice, a burned-out photographer, retreats to Barry’s Bay after her beloved Nan breaks her hip. It’s the same lakeside town where, years ago, a single summer and one photo of a boy in a yellow speedboat changed her life. That boy—Charlie Florek—reappears, now grown and impossibly charming.
As Alice and Charlie reconnect, their chemistry simmers beneath sun-drenched days and late-night conversations, challenging Alice to step out from behind the lens and into her own story. This is a sequel to Carley Fortune’s book, Every Summer After. I read that book several years ago and loved it. And now it’s on my “to be read again” list!
