Welcome to Litsy!

Loved! Loved! Loved! A summer romance that makes you wish you had a cottage by the lake in Canada! I loved Charlie and Alice‘s love story and hope at some point we get to revisit Barry‘s Bay and them!

Fortune has become an auto read for me. Her novels each summer transport me to small Canadian beach towns with delightful and complicated characters that you can help but root for. The setting is a big part of this one and our main characters are so lovely and misunderstood that it took my breath away. Blew through this one in 2 days.

A beautiful, easy summer rom-com read.

Loved. Loved. Loved.

I live next to a lake, so I always loved reading Carley Fortunes fun lakeside novels. And this one didn‘t disappoint! I don‘t want to say too much about Charlie, but I really connected with him. He lost both of his parents at a young age due to health reasons, and I also lost my dad to that same thing his Dad died from. So I know exactly how he feels, and his thoughts. I connected with him a lot, and loved Alice!

Guess whose feeling better to read again!? 🙋‍♀️
I‘ve been binge watching BookTube and the new Epic Universe at universal videos. I now want my next vacation at Universal Studios lol 😂

Went to The Buzzed Word bookstore - a bookstore and wine bar- So much fun to walk around with my wine and explore- it‘s tiny but you could tell people who work there love their job!

#BookFourteenOf2025 I haven't finished Salamander yet but grabbed this for an easy long weekend read.

When you live next to the lake, Carly Fortune books just give me those summer vibes to a T 🌞

I‘m an auto read for this author and this is a pick with issues. I love the Ontario settings for Carly‘s stories. I enjoyed these characters (the return of Charlie😃) and their backstories. The meet cute between Alice and Charlie was fun. My issue was spending so time in Alice‘s head as she contemplated Charlie. I wanted Alice out of her head and out on that beautiful lake with Charlie.
