Famed Toronto Young Adult author Carly Fortune and star Joseph Chiu got a big waterside welcome home after a successful press tour! A special screening and reception for EVERY YEAR AFTER was held by Prime Video Canada, with Toronto’s scenic Sugar Beach as a backdrop, not unlike Barry’s Beach, where the Series is set.
The eight episode Romantic-Drama is based on Fortune‘s best-selling novel EVERY SUMMER AFTER, centering on Percy (Sadie Soverall) as she returns to Barry’s Bay where she spent many a summer growing-up. She last left cottage country in shame and returns after receiving word her former love Sam (Matt Cornett) and his brother Charlie’s (Michael Bradway) mother has passed. The flames re-ignite as Percy must face her past and current self.
The event held at Irene featured bites and cocktails inspired by the EVERY YEAR AFTER, permanent bracelets by GEMLET, plus a Q&A with Fortune and Chiu following a screening of episode one. We learned Chiu, like we, are U of T alumni. So great getting to mix and mingle with the two, and also OFF CAMPUS author Elle Kennedy made an appearance as well.
