Named One of the Hottest Reads of Summer 2022 by Today ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ USA Today ∙ SheReads ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ BookBub ∙ Bustle ∙ and more! Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. **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 too true.** 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. 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. **For six 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.** Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. **When Percy returns to the lake for Sam’s mother’s funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been.** 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. **Told over the course of six years and one weekend, _Every Summer After_ is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.** Show more Get the Bindery app * * * Posts about this title from Boundless Press [Boundless Press\\ \\ Jananie\\ \\ • Nov 24 2022](https://boundless.binderybooks.com/) [all the eBooks on my eReader \| my DIGITAL TBR](https://boundless.binderybooks.com/item/B1zLbEC933Fx3RZyew96/) CASETiFY cases fit both iPhone & Android, and are now available at casetify.com!

I typically will keep these paid members only, mostly so I can be a little more honest than I can on social media. I'm not saying now is the time to upgrade, but today I released a WHAT FEEDS BELOW update, an update on the THIRD book from our imprint and will likely be doing a cover reveal for our second book CRACKS soon (so yeah, maybe I am saying now is the time to upgrade!)\\ \\ Before I get into the update: I LISTED 150 books for sale, many under $5\\ \\ Shot out to anyone who buys multiple books at once because I have a ton of big boxes I'm dying to get rid of!\\ \\ **I read 15 Books in May.** And got a little bit of everything this month.\\ \\ 1. _Old School Indian_ by Aaron John Curtis\\ \\ \\ \\ This was our book club pick for Good Day To Read Indigenous and I thought it was fantastic. It's a coming of middle age story, and to be honest, I think we need many more of these! It follows Abe, a man with a debilitating autoimmune disease who in a last ditch attempt to get healed, goes back to the Rez to consult a healer. The prose here is perfection. The characters are SOMETHING ELSE. There is so much about language and love. If you didn't get a chance to read along for book club, I still suggest checking this one out.\\ \\ \\ 01. _Yesteryear_ by Caro Claire Burke\\ \\ \\ \\ Well, it was a book. Anyway. There are 2 things that are true about me. One, if everyone is talking about it, I want to talk about it. And 2. I LOVE BOOKS ABOUT INFLUENCERS. This book was...fine. I was entertained for at least 65% of the book. The ending totally fell apart and pissed me off. I don't think it is worthy of all the hype, but I also don't find it interesting enough to be worthy of all the attention and criticism either.\\ \\ 02. _Catherine House_ by Elisabeth Thomas\\ \\ \\ \\ There are times when you read a book and you know this book is going to be for me, but other people might hate it and this is definitely one of these books. It's a book for anyone who loves a book with immaculate vibes over plot. It's dark academia gothic that is impeccably written. Do we need to know what the hell is going on anyway?\\ \\ 03. _Lethal Kiss_ by Taylor Grothe\\ \\ \\ \\ TAYLOR IS A MASTER AT HORRORMANCE. This book made me want to read 10 more books just like it. Sapphic. Gory. Dark Academia. Monsters. It drops 10/20 and it is one I THINK YOU SHOULD PREORDER RIGHT NOW.\\ \\ 04. _Heartbeat Braves_ by Pamela Sanderson\\ \\ \\ \\ This is an Indigenous romance that centers around the Crooked Rock Urban Indian Center, it's book one of a four book interconnected series. We follow Rayanne who is just trying to do a good job and make changes and then a new leader puts his nephew, Henry, is charge and Rayanne has to work with him. I usually do not care for workplace romances, but because of the unique setting and the cultural significance this one really worked for me. I enjoyed all of the characters here, so I'm looking forward to continuing the series.\\ \\ 05. _Native Love Jams_ by Tashia Hart\\ \\ \\ \\ Short and sweet Indigenous romance. This follows Winnow and Niigaani and they have a rough first meet, but end up working so well together. I love a book that centers on FOOD. This is a very sweet story, with memorable characters that is LAUGH OUT LOUD funny.\\ \\ 06. _When Stars Have Teeth_ by Dani Trujilio\\ \\ \\ \\ WHOA this Indigenous romance was STEAMY. Buffy does not want a man, but she finds one anyway. Buffy works at the Urban Indian center and just wants to get her job done but is struggling with a non-native board. Santiago is a HOT immigration lawyer. She wants a booty call. He wants BUFFY.\\ \\ 07. _The Maiden and Her Monster_ by Maddie Martinez\\ \\ \\ \\ This is an atmospheric fantasy reimagining the golem story. It's folklore. It's sapphic. There is political intrigue and yearning. It's a moving tale with impressive prose.\\ \\ 08. _Bad Words_ by Rioghnach Robinson\\ \\ \\ \\ HOLY SHIT. THIS IS THE BEST ROMANCE I HAVE EVER READ IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. This book releases October 6. PREORDER IT IMMEDIATELY. This is a romance about a book critic and a debut author who gets DESTROYED by said critic. This is ENEMIES to FRIENDS to THIS BETTER LAST FOREVER OR I WONT SURVIVE. A lot of interesting stuff about creativity, on the publishing industry, the book world, social media. I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO READ THIS. The banter. Did I mention the banter? WHEN THEY FINALLY BECOME LOVERS. OMG. Every time I put this book down, I would think about it. I will 100% reread this annually.\\ \\ 09. _We Are All Guilty Here (North Falls #1)_ by Karin Slaughter\\ \\ \\ \\ Karin Slaughter is the best living thriller writer. You can disagree in these comments, but you'll be wrong. Everything she writes blows me away. The twist at the end of this book. **_ARE YOU KIDDING ME?_** No, not that twist. The twist after that twist. Two teenage girls vanish. A detective with baggage thinks she's solved it. Fast forward, two more girls vanish.... but it can't be the same man? Can it? Just give Karin Slaughter the awards every time she picks up a pen. Please.\\ \\ 10. _Girl, Forgotten (Andrea Oliver #2)_ by Karin Slaughter\\ \\ \\ \\ So, naturally, I had to go on a Karin Slaughter binge. Who killed Emily Vaughn on prom night in 1982? All of her friends are suspects. This is a sequel to _Pieces of Her_ and while I think they can be read as separate stories, there are connections to the first book that just make starting there worth it. PLUS, all Karin Slaughter's thrillers are to die for.\\ \\ 11. _Every Summer After_ by Carley Fortune\\ \\ \\ \\ Wow, I think Carley Fortune just unseated Emily Henry as my fave contemporary romance author. This book was perfection to me. A second chance romance about Persephone and Sam, told in the present and as their time as teens. All we know is they split up because of something Percy did...and MY GOD when we learn what. I thought I would hate that. I didn't. It worked so well for me. This couple. Could NOT put it down.\\ \\ 12. _Meet Me At The Lake_ by Carley Fortune\\ \\ \\ \\ Decided I was going to read all of her books in pub order. This should have been a book for me. Dirty Dancing references. A couple who spends an entire day together like the _Before Sunset/Sunrise_ movie trilogy but NO. NO. What. NO.\\ \\ 13. _The Lemon Twist_ by Élan Les Vies\\ \\ \\ \\ This is mystery set in the 80s that follows an ice skater suffering memory loss who gets a postcard from her sister that's been missing, with one word written on it: HELP. Lots of puzzles to solve. And a TWIST like no other.\\ \\ 14. _This Summer Will Be Different_ by Carley Fortune\\ \\ \\ \\ Heck yes. The joy I felt reading _Every Summer After_ is back! This follows Lucy who falls for her best friend's brother (A trope I thought I would hate. NOPE!) They have to stay apart, but yet they hook up every year. I LOVE SUMMER ROMANCE. What can I say?\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ **Have you read any of these?

There’s something magical about witnessing two people fall for each other, whether it’s on the page of a book or on the screen,  that fills me with pure joy.  It’s the excitement, the anticipation, the butterflies you feel in your own stomach simply because the characters are feeling them too.\\ \\ \\ \\ But it’s not just the swoony moments. I love the messy parts as well, the misunderstandings, the slow-building trust, the imperfect attempts to connect. Real relationships aren’t straight lines, and romance stories embrace that beautifully. They remind us that love is rarely tidy, but is always worth the effort.\\ \\ When I pick up a romance, I’m 100% escaping… but I’m also immersing myself in a world built on hope! Hope that two people will find their way through the chaos. Hope that they’ll choose each other again and again. I get so freaking invested in their journey that, my own worries and issues fade away into the abyss. \\ \\ But even in the escape, I find pieces of myself. I see my own quirks reflected in the characters habits, fears, or desires. I recognise my own patterns, Romance doesn’t just entertain me, it makes me more aware about myself.\\ \\ The heart of every great love story for me is this: _characters you can adore, relate to, or feel deeply for._ When you care about the characters, the romance becomes unforgettable.\\ \\ So with all this being said! Here are **4 binge worthy and swoony romances!**\\ \\ **Every Summer After by Carley Fortune**\\ \\ Percy and Sam are childhood friends, turned lovers, turned exes. They reunite at the cottage where they spent all their summers together after ten years of not speaking.\\ \\ Coming back together under sad circumstances, Percy and Sam battle their still‑strong feelings for each other while also confronting their past.\\ \\ This is the perfect second‑chance romance meets coming‑of‑age story.\\ \\ **Seven year Slip by Ashely Poston**\\ \\ Clementine works hard at her job and she’s good at it, but she’s also feeling a little lost. After losing her aunt, Clementine has been struggling with grief and guilt. She inherits her aunt’s old apartment, which has the ability to take you seven years back or forward in time. One day, an aspiring chef appears in her apartment and they form a connection. Only issue: he’s seven years from the past.\\ \\ A book filled with so much yearning you can barely handle it. We follow Clementine and the chef as they find their way back to each other and uncover what really happened in the apartment seven years ago.\\ \\ **Sweet Heat by Bolu Babalola**\\ \\ After the breakup between Malakai and Kiki, Kiki went through a lot to heal from the heartbreak. Just as things in her life begin to improve, everything somehow starts to fall apart again. Her one joy is her best friend’s wedding, except the wedding brings Malakai and Kiki back together, and things between them are still very heated.\\ \\ The way this book embraces friendships, family, second chances, and cultural community is incredible. A book absolutely worth the read.\\ \\ OBS! This is the second book in the Honey & Spice series, but you don’t need to have read the first book to enjoy this one!\\ \\ **Faking It in Manhattan by Riley Winters**\\ \\ Scarlett works in marketing, and she’s darn good at it. She gets hired by the fiancé of one of her closest friends. The fiancé runs a company with his close friend Blake, a bit of a playboy who is damaging the company’s reputation. Scarlett is asked to fake‑date Blake to capture positive press and brighten his public image. The only issue? Scarlett and Blake had a one‑night encounter that ended badly, leaving things tense between them. But that doesn’t mean the chemistry isn’t still there.\\ \\ A great story about learning to trust, opening up, and allowing yourself to rely on others.\\ \\ OBS!
