: Summary of the Book

This Summer Will Be Different is a sweeping, sun-drenched romance about desire, restraint, and the pull of a love you can’t shake no matter how hard you try.

But the island holds another constant—Felix, Bridget’s younger brother, and the man Lucy can never seem to resist.

Their chemistry is electric, undeniable, and off-limits. Despite promising themselves—and each other—that this summer will be different, temptation always gets the better of them.
