Tag: This Summer Will Be Different

My Rating: 🍪🍪 🍪🍪
Genre: Romance

I was immediately on board with the premise of This Summer Will Be Different when Lucy arrives for her vacation on Prince Edward Island (PEI) and sleeps with a hot bartender only to find out he’s her best friend Bridget’s brother. Her chemistry with Felix is palpable and when their tryst is cut short I wanted to scream knowing the heat between them was going to be put on hold.

First of all, I recently watched the Anne of Green Gables movie for the first time so I was delighted by all the references to it throughout the book (although there were some spoilers!). The PEI setting was so picturesque and I lived for the memories of Lucy’s annual visits (during which she tries in vain to stay away from Felix). The narrative is split between these past summers and the present, when Bridget has unexpectedly fled to PEI days before her wedding and demanded that Lucy join her and Felix there.

I really enjoyed Lucy – she was fun and felt distinct enough to be believable. Her friendship with Bridget was very special and I loved seeing their closeness.
