Every time I think I can't love Carley Fortune more, she puts out another book and proves me wrong. The thing is that with One Golden Summer she said "Here look at how romance is supposed to be."

This was to put it simply–her best book to date and I say this a lover of all of her previous books. This one was particularly special because we're back in Barry's Bay. Back to Charlie, to Percy and Sam. Every Summer After is one of my favorite books but One Golden Summer just completely killed me. This book is so romantic, so full of chemistry, with two main characters that are so great, and not only that but also a cast of incredible secondary characters. I didn't really expect to fall in love with Alice and Charlie quite as hard as I did. I adored Alice from the start and fell in love with the way she sees and perceives places, people, details, and emotions and her passion for photography. I think Carley managed to write such a beautiful portrayal of it. She's such a deep character. She feels so deeply and loves just the same. She's my favorite heroine Carley has written. I loved Charlie since I met him. But we got to see so much more and get to know him better and I loved him. He's immensely charming, so understanding, caring and feels incredibly deep.

Now, Alice and Charlie together? Fireworks, sparks, explosives. Their story, their love, their moments. So special. I was smiling and cheesing all throughout this book. I was crying too. I truly can't express just how much I enjoyed reading Charlie and Alice's love.
