Every Summer After – A Love That Spanned Six Summers and One Unforgettable Mistake

: Summary of the Book

Every Summer After  is a sweeping, emotionally rich second-chance romance set in the golden glow of Barry’s Bay, Ontario. It tells the story of Persephone Fraser, who spent six magical summers falling in love with Sam Florek—until one life-altering mistake shattered everything between them. Now, a decade later, Percy is living far from the lake and the memories it holds—until a sudden tragedy brings her back home and face to face with the man she’s never stopped loving.
