Canadian settings (I have friends in Huntsville, though I have never been), and references just make me happy.
The things I liked about the book are the same things I liked about Every Summer After. He is both Will and not Will, but Fern still feels the crazy chemistry she felt all those years ago. Instead of being an artist, he’s some sort of consultant who was apparently hired by Fern’s mother Maggie, to help breathe new life into the resort. Will is nothing like Fern remembers him, except that he’s still tall and hot. Well, he does show, actually: nine years late.įortune offers readers two timelines: the day Will and Fern spend together and then their reunion in present day. There is definitely a spark between Fern and Will, and they agree to meet in Muskoka in one year – except Will doesn’t show. She is pretty sure that’s not what she wants to do, even though that’s where her boyfriend of four years, Jamie, is. He suggests a tour of Toronto before he heads back to Vancouver and she heads home to Hunstville, where she’s about to start working at the family business, a resort on the lake. Hot plus tall meant he’d be completely insufferable.Įxcept, Will is not insufferable he’s actually pretty great.
He’s an artist who has been hired to paint a mural at the coffee shop where Fern works.
In this iteration, Fern Brookbanks meets Will Baker in Toronto just after she’s graduated with her BBA. In that book, childhood besties become more and are then separated by a bad decision, only to reunite many years later. Canadian writer Carley Fortune’s second novel, Meet Me at the Lake, doesn’t stray too far from the plot of her first book Every Summer After.
