Return to Willow Lake by Susan Wiggs
4.0
3.5 STARS
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
At Daisy Bellamy's wedding Sonnet Romano sleeps with her best friend, Zach Algers and regrets the decision ever since. Afraid that their friendship will be ruined she goes back to New York and starts dating her father's campaign manager, Orlando. Orlando is everything she should want in her ordered life and this would make her closer to her estranged father, Laurence.
When Zack tells Sonnet that her newly pregnant mother, Nina has breast cancer Sonnet makes a decision to leave her job and her life in New York and returns to Willow Lake. While being there for her mother and stepfather she gets a job on the new reality show that is being filmed at the Inn. Her return home has taught her more about herself than school and time in New York. And, maybe what she should want isn't what she should do.
The novel was a bit predictable but if you have read the other books in the Lakeshore Chronicles you will not be disappointed. The relationship between Nina and Sonnet is heartwarming and Nina's breast cancer is written with compassion. A sweet contemporary novel with a dash of romance
