Ahhh PEI!
I vacationed on the island as a moody teen, though I loved all the Anne of Green Gables-related tourism, and of course the seafood!
This Summer Will Be Different is not only the love story of Lucy and Felix, but a love letter to the island as well.
The deep friendship between Lucy and Bridget (Felix's sister - see where this is headed?) is just as important to the plot as the romance element, if not more. Summer Winds, the Carter family residence in PEI, feels more like a home to Lucy than hers in Toronto ever did.
Author Carley Fortune has recaptured the magic of her debut, Every Summer After, and I loved This Summer Will Be Different nearly as much.
Perfect summer read - recommended!
