Every Summer After tells the story of Percy and Sam, neighbors at Percy’s parents’ lake house, who develop a romantic relationship over several shared summers and whose eventual love is undone by a horrible secret that forces the couple to go their separate ways. When Sam’s mother dies, Percy returns to Barry’s Bay to pay her respects and maybe right the most terrible wrong of her life—if it isn’t too late. The author compellingly conveys the magic and uncertainty of young and budding love with characters the reader can’t help falling for. The then-and-now format reveals clues at more or less the right speed, though the secret was telegraphed. A cute summer love story bordering on YA/NA, it makes me wonder if off-page sex would have been more appropriate for the tone of the novel. The sex scenes came off as forced and repetitive with lip biting ala Fifty Shades. Still, I had a good time reading this straightforward story, sure to appeal to anyone who has experienced a childhood crush. Recommended. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

My favorite coming-of-age stories are those that have dual time perspectives between youth and adulthood. I love seeing how milestone moments or crossroad choices impact an adult life, and Every Summer After captures that ebb and flow perfectly. In the same vein as Christina Lauren’s Love and Other Words, this story highlights the best and worst parts of the bildungsroman summer romance, anchoring you in both nostalgia and relief: longing for summers past and thanking your lucky, summer stars that you don’t have to relive it.
