A very cute book! I loved learning more and more about Fern’s relationship with her mother, and learning more about her mother’s past, as the book went on. And even though Will finally opening up and letting Fern in only happened because of his sister, it was a wonderful way of resolving Fern and Will’s communication breakdown. 

Just a little bit of spice but a lot of pining and love.

I wasn't fully sold on this book and this love story until maybe 75% of the way through. I just didn't get hooked and kept getting distracted until I was almost crying. The three story timelines were well done, but lack of communication is such a not fav for me.

I've made many plans for reading this year, and so far, I've failed to follow through. I love that I could pick up the audiobook for Meet Me at the Lake. It's one of my 23 books for 2023 that I wanted to read, and it's a standalone. Standalones have been a rare thing for me to find this year, so I loved that this one had no other connection to some other book. So, I had a lot of fun with this book, and it was wild seeing where everything was going. I really wanted to love this one, and for the most part, I did, but now, looking back, I just can't remember everything that happened. This one is a good summertime read because it gives a contemporary summer vibe. I also liked that we bounced around not only different points of view but also different timelines. I want to read more books by Fortune, but at the same time, my reading tastes have changed. I have just been reading Kindle after Kindle book, and most indie authors are more out there or have a faster pace. But I liked what happened in this book and saw how many people would enjoy this story.
