Happy Film Friday!📚📽🎞

They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.

Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry’s Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she’d have to live without.

Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.

Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

Based on Every Summer After, the best-selling book by Carley Fortune, the series Every Year After splashes onto the Amazzon Prime June 10 with all episodes.

Barry's Bay is calling. Every Year After, based on Every Summer After by Carley Fortune, premieres June 10 on Prime.» SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/PrimeVideoSubs...
