THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NOW THE PRIME ORIGINAL SERIES EVERY YEAR AFTER
"A radiant debut."—Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Great Big Beautiful Life
Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.
Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.
For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family’s restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart.
When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she’s spent punishing herself for them, they’ll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past.
Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

This book is a sweeping, nostalgic romance told across dual timelines. It follows Persephone "Percy" Fraser, who returns to her childhood lakeside cottage after a 12-year estrangement to attend a funeral, forcing her to confront the love and betrayals of her past. The story was fueled by tension and deep yearning; it built a strong sense of mystery toward the end. Highly recommended for fans of the friends-to-lovers trope. Some may say it was a bit cheesy, but for me, it was a hot hit!
