Looking for Carley Fortune books in order? This guide covers the best order to read her novels, including the connected Barry’s Bay books that are most likely to cause confusion.
Carley Fortune’s books are not one long serialized series, so this is not a case where you have to follow a strict reading path from start to finish. Still, publication order is the cleanest way to read her work, especially if you want the full context for the books that return to Barry’s Bay.

Where to Start?
Every Summer After is the best place to begin for most readers. It was Carley Fortune’s debut, it remains her breakout book, and it gives you the clearest introduction to the nostalgic summer romance style readers usually come to her for.
That said, this is not a fantasy saga where picking the wrong starting point will ruin the experience. You can start with Meet Me at the Lake or This Summer Will Be Different just fine. If you want to read the connected Barry’s Bay stories, start with Every Summer After, then continue with One Golden Summer and Only in Summer.
