Yes, Carley Fortune is her real name and because of it, she admitted in an interview, “I always thought I was born to have bad financial luck.” The opposite turned out to be true. Fortune, 42, is the author of five romance novels, all bestsellers. “Every Year After,” an eight-episode Prime Video series based on her 2022 debut, “Every Summer After,” starts streaming Wednesday, and her 2024 novel “This Summer Will Be Different” will soon become a Netflix series.
