I really enjoyed this one. I always love the homey feeling of these books being set in Canadian cottage country and this one was no different. Probably one of if not my favourite from this author. The ending really hit home for me

based on past experiences with boyfriends heart problems before we were together, and not wanting to lose the person as a friend to try for something more.

 Also I loved Nan being involved through the whole thing - hers and Charlie’s friendship makes it so much more special. This makes me want to go back to reread Every Summer After but also I’m scared because I loved Charlie in this one and don’t want to go back to hating him!

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one, Charlie was not the hero in the last book, and he was not always likeable. He needed a redemption story and this was pretty much it, even though it's from Alice's POV. We get to see Charlie in the aftermath of his choices and how they affected and changed him. And we get to see once-shy Alice come to life and learn how to be louder in her life and more true to herself. I really liked this story, but in a different way than Every Summer After. That book grabbed my heart and just kept squeezing it until I was wrung out. This one was bittersweet in some ways but it felt more healing. It's Alice's story, but it'salso Charlie's forgiveness.
