Every Year After

Matt Roush says...

Summer romance is back in vogue in the latest multi-part YA drama that could just as easily have been a two-hour movie. But for those looking for a long and dreamy wallow, the eight episodes in this adaptation of Carley Fortune’s Every Summer After will no doubt satisfy this week’s craving. Sadie Soverall stars as Percy (short for Persephone), who used to spend summers on the lake at Barry’s Bay in British Columbia, where she fell hard for her neighbor, Sam (played as an adult by High School Musical: The Musical alum Matt Cornett). The relationship ended badly — “My whole world is filled with regret because of the choices I’ve made and how things ended up with Sam,” is how Percy puts it — and after 10 years of radio silence, she returns to the Bay, where all the old feelings are stirred up again.
