4.75 ⭐️ “Good things happen at the lake.” 

Thirty-two year old Alice and her grandmother, Nan, decide to spend their summer at the lake cottage their family spent one golden summer in back when Alice was 17. In comes her beautiful, arrogant neighbor, Charlie and they spend the summer living like teenagers and crossing items off Alice’s bucket list.

This book made me nostalgic; it reminded me of what a carefree summer felt like when I was 17 when the days were long and lazy while the months flew in the blink of an eye. The banter was top notch and I found myself laughing out loud all throughout the book. It truly is a perfect summer read.
