Celebrated sports writer Roger Kahn casts his gaze on the golden age of baseball, an unforgettable time when the game thrived as America's unrivaled national sport. The Era begins in 1947 with Jackie Robinson changing major league baseball forever by taking the field for the Dodgers. Dazzling, momentous events characterize the decade that followed-Robinson's amazing accomplishments; the explosion on the national scene of such soon-to-be legends as Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Bobby Thomson, Duke Snider, and Yogi Berra; Casey Stengel's crafty managing; the emergence of televised games; and the stunning success of the Yankees as they play in nine out of eleven World Series. The Era concludes with the relocation of the Dodgers from Brooklyn to Los Angeles, a move that shook the sport to its very roots.

Beautiful story, exquisitely told
Format: Kindle
This is one of my favorite love stories. There is much to love, but I think the best thing is how the author allows the reader to discover the characters' feelings. I am always upset when an author clobbers me over the head with what a character thinks or feels. I like when I get to feel it right along with the character. That was expertly accomplished here. Great read!

Five Stars, No Notes
Format: Kindle
I love Carley Fortune’s books, but I think this one might just be edging out the top spot in my ranking list. Her writing is lyrical and engaging and just wraps you right in and has you grinning like an idiot the entire way through. This was a really quick read for me because I didn’t want to put it down. I am also not usually someone who highlights quotes in books, but the language was truly so creative and beautiful in some parts I couldn’t resist saving them for later. I still am not over it. Our Perfect Storm is a childhood friends to lovers romance where you truly fall in love with the characters and are rooting for them throughout the book. There is so much yearning and heartache and I totally ate this up. Frankie is a chaotic spitfire of a character and I found her to be incredibly relatable, and loved how Carley makes her character lovable because of her rough edges, not in spite of it. George is so sweet and patient and pines after Frankie, totally making you swoon. You want to scream at them the entire book to just get together already. The tropical vacation with a “bucket list” setting gave me almost PWMOV vibes and I loved it. George really throws himself into helping Frankie’s grief, and it’s a very healing process to witness. I also feel as though the unpredictable and chaotic dynamics of human relationships were well portrayed in this story, not only through the intimate relationships but with the extended families as well. I don’t want to share spoilers, but I really appreciated where Frankie and her mom landed in the end, it felt like a real turning point for her. The ending is truly beautiful and feels like a breath of fresh air. This book just fully wrapped me up in nostalgia and cozy magic and made me smile through the end. I would highly recommend for any Carley Fortune lovers or anyone looking for a feel good read. Some of my favorite quotes: “You’re this unstoppable force, and you make me feel invincible, too. I feel more alive when I’m with you.” “There are no ugly parts. Some of them are louder than others. Some might be vicious when provoked.” His eyes drill into mine. “But they’re all you. They’re all worthy of love.” “My love for you is fundamental to who I am. It’s deep in my bones. A sonnet written in the marrow.”

Lovely and sweet. He falls first & the yearning is perfect. Slow burn, but sexy. Both main characters were relatable and likable.

Letdown after ESA & OGS but Still a Great Summer Read
Format: Hardcover
Highly anticipated after 2025's One Golden Summer sequel to Every Summer After because The Florek boys are everything. Loved the setting (Tofino sounds gorgeous), but the book was off balance. Long-suffering George was so thoughtful & obviously in love with his BFF Frankie. Other than shared history, I wondered why. She's supposed to be independent (as was Jo in her fave book Little Women), but she spends a lot of time sobbing, moping, resenting, & pushing everyone away. She's oblivious to George's obvious devotion even when he's traveling the world for work & firmly consigns him to the friend zone (but doesn't date anyone else beyond a device driven brief engagement to wildly unsuitable guy). At 30, she still thinks romance will kill their 22 yr friendship? Even their magical week in Tofino when they're together is unsettled by her reticence & constant disbelief they can be a couple. There are a lot of flashbacks to the besties at 8, 12, 16, 20, & last year that disrupt the flow & don't serve the story. Still, she writes beautiful sentences and has the ability to transport. It's a good book, just a 4 not a 5.
