I was very excited to receive an advanced reader copy of Carley Fortune's newest novel. I've loved all of her books and I've seen a lot of reviews saying how amazing One Golden Summer is and I wasn't disappointed. Carley Fortune is definitely on my must pre-order list without even reading a description. Bonus points that she is Canadian and all her novels so far are based in Canada.
If you haven't read any of Carley's books you may want to start with Every Summer After although it's totally not necessary. But you really should read it first and don't forget Meet Me at the Lake. Every Summer After is slated to be an Amazon series - no word yet on release date.
In One Golden Summer, Alice's grandmother - Nan has just broken her hip. Alice is still nursing a broken heart. Seems like the perfect time for both of them to head to Barry's Bay for the summer to relax and reset. An old family friend agrees they can stay at their cottage. Charlie Florek is in the cottage next door if they need anything.
Charlie is just what Nan and Alice needed to help them smile again. He's handsome, helpful and most importantly so good to Nan. Alice creates a checklist to help her have the summer she wished for when she was 17 and Charlie is very willing to help her complete it.
By the time you have this finished you'll be searching for cottages in Northern Ontario. This book would be perfect to read there if you already have one booked this summer. Don't forget the kleenex!
