More towards the moderate side of open door/fade to black but high emphasis on the physical side making it a main focus of the story and relationship.mamasuereads's review

The book got way better as it went on and we got to see why Percy is the way she is. I loved how the book jumped around in time so we could see her relationships change as she got older. I used to see the same people at the cottage every summer so it hit me right in the feels. I think the author captured the awkwardness and beauty of growing up incredibly well. I liked that the story wasn't only about Percy and Sam, but also handles the complexities of female friendships and relationships between parents and their kids well. It also beautifully tackles the highs and lows of a relationship in an authentic and realistic way.
This book reminded me of Happy Place by Emily Henry, but Every Summer After is WAYYYY BETTER because when we finally find out wtf happened to cause a rift between our main characters, it actually makes sense rather than just being a total lack of communication for no reason. I stayed up way too late finishing the last 50 pages because they were phenomenal.
The only complaint I have is that I have a very hard time believing that during their estrangement, Percy, Sam, and Charlie never creeped each other on social media or googled each other. This book makes it seem like facebook doesn't exist. Am I to believe that Sue would never have looked up Percy or even kept in contact with her parents? Oh well. It's fine.

ANYWAYS.
I’m a sucker for a book I can identify with and obviously growing up in eastern Ontario and having gone to Queen’s, I loved those references in the book. I loved that it’s partly set in Barry’s Bay and the small-town cottage stuff that I know about but never really got to live except via friends’.
Can’t wait to read Carley’s next book!

This was a heartwarming story about family, friendship, young love, mistakes, forgiving, and second chances. A wonderful book that’s perfect to read during the warmer months of the year. (Or to read during the colder months if you miss the summer!)
