On their first day there, Percy meets her neighbours, a family with two boys. For six summers, she and her family spent their summer vacation in their holiday residence at the lake in Barry’s Bay. Told over the course of five years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic look at love and the people and choices that mark us forever. Percy and Sam haven’t spoken in twelve years, after that one faithful weekend Percy broke his heart. 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.

When Percy returns to the lake for Sam's mother's funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. 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.įor five 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. 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.

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 to true.

Sam and percy every summer after
