OUR REVIEW:
I've yet to read a Carley Fortune novel that hasn't been a fantastic read and One Golden Summer continues that streak. Gah, I loved it so much that it was one of those reads that you simultaneously couldn't get through it fast enough as you wanted to slow down the reading....it's one of those novels you want to last forever.
There was so many things that made One Golden Summer so much fun to read. It felt nostalgic--those memories of summer always are, aren't they? And the chance to kinda sorta relive it? Who can pass that up? And there's the back and forth between Charlie and Alice...*chef's kiss*--their chemistry? So good. And then you throw in the wisdom of her grandma and some characters that some of you may recognize from earlier novels...and the hurt so good OH SHIT moment and you've got yourself a fantastic read. Loved it and so sad that I have to wait for the next one to come out, since I've read every single thing she's written.

SYNOPSIS:
I never anticipated Charlie Florek.
Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it.
Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart.
Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.
