Is Our Perfect Storm Worth Reading?
Ada’s Score
Carley Fortune returns with a tender second-chance romance about Frankie, who, after her fiancé walks out, takes her planned honeymoon trip with her childhood best friend George. Fortune's gift for atmospheric Canadian settings and emotionally precise prose is on full display, and the friends-to-lovers ache builds with quiet conviction. The premise leans on a familiar setup, and the central obstacle keeping the leads apart can feel manufactured at points. Even so, Fortune writes longing better than almost anyone in the genre, and readers who loved her earlier books will be moved.
“Fortune writes longing like few others, and the setting practically breathes. The thing keeping them apart, though, felt a little engineered.”

Ada’s reservations
The obstacle dividing Frankie and George reads as a plot device rather than an organic emotional barrier — at points the conflict exists because the story needs delay, not because the characters genuinely would.
Ada’s score reflects both strengths and reservations.
