Our Perfect Storm
Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune will be in my Top 5 Favorite Romances of the Year.
After Frankie is left on the morning of her wedding day, childhood best friends Frankie and George decide to go on her honeymoon in stunning Tofino, Canada. This wind-swept and wild setting, full of foggy beaches and epic rainforests, is the place where George crafts a plan to help Frankie come back to herself, and if the time is right, he can reveal that he has loved her all along.
Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune is a perfect friends-to-lovers romance with an atmospheric setting, dynamic character development, and heartfelt, steamy romance. As an avid fan of Little Women, I also loved the inspiration of what might happen if Jo and Laurie were meant to be together. And they even exchange letters in a birdhouse mailbox as they are growing up.
Read this book if you are “utterly desperate for an adventure.” It just might be one of the best love stories you ever read. Carley Fortune, you have my cynical little heart believing in love again.
The following are a few of my favorite quotes from Our Perfect Storm:
My Favorite Quote
“I like who I am when I’m with you. I’m still me, but I can see a bigger version of myself… When I’m with you, the world seems to hold so many possibilities. I used to think that it was because I loved competing with you, but that’s not it. You’re this unstoppable force, and you make me feel invincible too. I feel more alive when I’m with you.” -Frankie to George.————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
“I don’t want to be absorbed by another person, but maybe I wouldn’t mind belonging to someone if they belonged to me, too. If we belonged to each other as well as ourselves.” -Frankie
“An equal belonging.” -George.

“This is what it’s like to be truly known by someone. George sees me even when I don’t want to see myself.”

“Lying here with George, his arm curled around me, I feel like a piece of driftwood that’s finally found its way to shore, its rough edges smoothed by the sea.”
