Tras alcanzar la fama internacional con su primera novela, el fenómeno de TikTok Todos nuestros veranos, Carley Fortune regresa con la historia la esperadísima Un verano dorado.
Cuando tenía diecisiete años, Alice pasó un verano en una casa en el lago con su abuela Nan. Fue allí donde tomó la foto de tres adolescentes sonrientes en una lancha motora amarilla, la imagen que le cambió la vida.
Ahora, como fotógrafa, se siente más cómoda dejando que otros brillen. Sin embargo, últimamente le apetece un cambio, así que idea un plan para Nan y para ella: otro verano en ese lugar mágico, Barry’s Bay.
Sin embargo, tan pronto como se instalan, su paz se ve interrumpida por el rugido de una conocida lancha amarilla, y el hombre que la conduce.
Charlie Florek tenía diecinueve años cuando Alice lo fotografió. Ahora ha crecido y es un sinvergüenza encantador, y los días soleados y las cálidas noches en el lago con él son un bálsamo para su alma. Pero cuando Alice levanta la vista y ve su penetrante mirada verde clavada directamente en ella, empieza a preocuparse…
Porque a ella se le da bien ver a la gente, pero nunca ha conocido a alguien que le devuelva la mirada.

I never anticipated Charlie Florek.
Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life.
Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay. But as soon as they settle in, their peace is disrupted by the roar of a familiar yellow boat, and the man driving it.
Charlie Florek was nineteen when Alice took his photo from afar. Now he’s all grown up—a shameless flirt, who manages to make Nan laugh and Alice long to be seventeen again, when life was simpler, when taking pictures was just for fun. Sun-slanted days and warm nights out on the lake with Charlie are a balm for Alice’s soul, but when she looks up and sees his piercing green gaze directly on her, she begins to worry for her heart.
Because Alice sees people—that’s why she is so good at what she does—but she’s never met someone who looks and sees her right back.
