A city girl from Toronto who found her true self during summers at the lake. Sam Florek:

de Carley Fortune es más que un romance pasajero; es un recordatorio de que el primer amor nunca se olvida del todo y que, a veces, el camino de vuelta a casa es el único que vale la pena recorrer. Si te gustan las historias con saltos temporales, escenarios veraniegos y una carga emocional profunda, este libro debe estar en tu lista de pendientes. ¿Estás listo para volver al lago este verano?

: Named for the Greek goddess who spends half the year in the underworld. Percy is a ghost in her own life—a successful writer who cannot return to Barry’s Bay. In EPUB, her chapters feel fragmented, mirroring her psyche. Her “Now” voice is brittle, professional; her “Then” voice is hopeful, raw. The digital format’s ability to change font size or use OpenDyslexic mode makes her internal monologue more accessible to neurodivergent readers, who often resonate with her anxiety spirals.

While widely loved, the book does have critics.

The novel flips between the past (the "six summers" of build-up) and the present, where 30-year-old Percy returns to Barry's Bay for the first time in twelve years after receiving bad news. She has to confront Sam—who is now a successful, brooding man she hasn't spoken to since she broke his heart. It is a story of first love, betrayal, grief, and whether time can heal the deepest wounds.

Durante seis años, Percy pasa sus veranos en Barry’s Bay, un pintoresco pueblo de Ontario. Allí conoce a Sam, su vecino y alma gemela. Su amistad evoluciona de tardes leyendo juntos y saltando al lago, a un primer amor intenso que parece indestructible hasta que un error monumental lo hace añicos.
