Emma Saylor doesn’t remember a lot about her mother, who died when she was ten. But she does remember the stories her mom told her about the big lake that went on forever, with cold, clear water and mossy trees at the edges.
Now it’s just Emma and her dad, and life is good, if a little predictable…until Emma is unexpectedly sent to spend the summer with her mother’s family—her grandmother and cousins she hasn’t seen since she was a little girl.
When Emma arrives at North Lake, she realizes there are actually two very different communities there. Her mother grew up in working class North Lake, while her dad spent summers in the wealthier Lake North resort. The more time Emma spends there, the more it starts to feel like she is divided into two people as well. To her father, she is Emma. But to her new family, she is Saylor, the name her mother always called her.
Then there’s Roo, the boy who was her very best friend when she was little. Roo holds the key to her family’s history, and slowly, he helps her put the pieces together about her past. It’s hard not to get caught up in the magic of North Lake—and Saylor finds herself falling under Roo’s spell as well.
For Saylor, it’s like a whole new world is opening up to her. But when it’s time to go back home, which side of her will win out?
Yay for liking Fumbled and enjoying The Shameless Hour. I totally said Iw as going to binge read that series when it went up on KU but we all know I am terrible for my follow through and never got around to it and at this point I’ve bought too many books to borrow some right now. I own like half of them anyway, it’s fine. I do really want to read the newest book from Sarah Dessen, I always enjoy her books even when I don’t love them. She just writes books I always find easy to read.
Yep, Fumbled was really good and Poppy, the heroine is my kind of heroine. She could have been me, I connected with her so much.
The Shameless Hour tackles slut-shaming and I thought Sarina Bowen handled that whole thing well so yeah, I liked it. You should still read them, you have some time right?
