Carley Fortune Books In Order: 3 Best-Selling Books to Love

Ever since I read Every Summer After last year, I was so excited to read Carley Fortune books. Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune is her sophomore novel and did not disappoint at all. In fact, she has quickly become a must-read author for both of us here at Beyond the Bookends.

Being that I am Canadian, these books feel so familiar to me. But I am happy to see that so many people feel the same way I do and love them just as much as me.

Both of her books have found themselves on our list of Ultimate Beach Reads 2023: The Hottest Summer Reads and apparently, we are not the only ones who agree.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have bought the film rights for a Meet Me at the Lake Movie. I don’t know about you but I will be running to the theatres to see this one on the big screen.

Who is Carley Fortune

Carley Fortune lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband and two sons. She is an award-winning journalist who has worked at some of Canada’s top publications. She has worked as an editor as well. Carley, not surprisingly, spent her summers in Barry’s Bay- a small lakeside town in Ontario and the setting of Every Summer After.

I am from Toronto which makes these books even more dear to my heart. I can picture every scene in each of these books and I cannot wait to delve into the third book that takes place on PEI!

Every Summer After by Carley Fortune

I absolutely adored this charming second-chance romance set at a lake house. It was one of the most popular books on Instagram this summer and for good reason.

Sam is the teenage boy we all needed in our lives growing up, and he gets better with age! Meanwhile, I was rooting for Percy to get her happily ever after with Sam the whole time. I was swept away by their summer love story and you will be too!

This is a must-read if you are looking for the best summer reads for 2023.

Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune

Will and Fern spent one amazing, adventure-filled day together in their early 20s with a promise to meet up again one year later. When Fern shows up and Will doesn’t, she is heartbroken.

Now, nine years later, Fern has inherited the lakeside resort that she never wanted to run, her ex-boyfriend is the resort manager, and she needs help. When Will shows up at the resort with an offer to help get things back in order, she doesn’t know if she can get over her old feelings and trust him again.

I absolutely loved this lake book. Set between Muskoka and Toronto, it reminded me of my childhood and teenage years! This is an absolute must-read second chance romance novel! You can also find this book in our list of Hotel Novels to Indulge in on Vacation, and of course on our Ultimate Beach Reads 2023! If you are looking for books for summer, this one is for you.

This Summer Will Be Different by Carley Fortune

We love Carley Fortune’s wonderful style of writing and her perfect love stories and this book from the new release books may be my favorite book yet.

Lucy heads to Prince Edward Island to stay with her best friend for a week. When her friend’s flight is delayed, Lucy is left as a tourist and feels an immediate connection with the local who shows her around. Only after their amazing night together does she realize he is also her best friend’s little brother.

They agree that this can never happen again because this was her best friend’s first rule: “Do not fall in love with my brother”.

Why I Love This Book: Not only is this a wonderful romance novel, but the setting of Prince Edward Island has so many nods to Anne of Green Gables that my heart did a little song throughout the book. All the stars to this gem. #gifted

Is There a Meet Me at the Lake Movie?

YES!
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have purchased the screen rights for Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune. The couple will produce the film of the Canadian Author’s best-selling book.

Netflix will be adapting this movie in the first pairing between the mega media company and the royals. There is no date set for the movie as of now.

Do I need to read Carley Fortune books in order?

Nope! Each book is a stand-alone novel, so you don’t need to read the Carley Fortune books in any particular order.

In what order should you read Carley Fortune books?

The short answer is any way you like. Right now, she has two books published which means, if you are looking to read all of the Carley Fortune books, you can easily read them all before her next book comes out.

Are the Two Carley Fortune Books Connected?

No! While both of Carley Fortune’s books are set at the lake, the books are not connected to each other. You can read them in any order you want.
Interestingly, whichever book people read first seems the be their favorite- both books are that good.
