The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that seasonal-romance specialist Carley Fortune continues her hot streak with the announcement that Amazon Prime Video has ordered an adaptation of her debut novel Every Summer After. The Globe's Brad Wheeler writes that the series will have the slightly tweaked title Every Year After. The best-selling Toronto-based author's second novel, 2023's Meet Me at the Lake, has already been optioned by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for Netflix. There is no scheduled air date for Meet Me at the Lake at the moment. Ms. Fortune's third beach read, This Summer Will Be Different, was released this May. Every Summer After is set in the author's lakeside hometown, Barry's Bay, Ont., where the story of Sam Florek and Persephone (Percy) Fraser drifts back to the sun-splashed days of their youth. Though not autobiographical, the writing of the 2022 novel was inspired by the author's own teenage journals. "Every Summer After holds a very special place in my heart and in the hearts of readers all over the world who deeply connect with Sam and Percy's love story," Ms. Fortune said. The author is a former editor with The Globe whose books have sold more than two million copies worldwide.
