Every day feels special, but June fourteenth is a gift.
I picked this up because I love seeing Toronto through a fictional lens. It makes me fall back in love with my city. While Meet Me at the Lake was of two worlds — Toronto and Muskoka — it was such a charming adaptation of 2010s Toronto. I truly loved every local reference (streetcars, Summerhill, etc.). I loved Brookbanks Resort equally.
I am not a RL romance reader, but I was pleasantly sucked into this world and these characters. I even see a lot of my life experience in Fern, which I was not expecting.
This was such a delightful, easy summer read that I could see myself returning to time and time again.
🌶️🌶️/5 spice (maybe even like 1.5/5)
People unfamiliar with Toronto and cottage country may be head scratching but if you can fall into fantasy realms and London or Paris or a wooded resort in the Northeast USA, you can fall into the world of Will and Fern.
