Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
3.0

Definitely didn’t like it as much as every summer after, but that’s ok! the author’s note helped compact my feelings for will and I really appreciated Carley’s honesty about postpartum ocd, but it still left me a little frustrated about will’s choices. peter was the mvp, i thought the diary / adolescent fern rebellion buildup was a little anticlimactic, I hated Jamie and both will’s sister and Whitney annoyed me. HOWEVER! Will and fern’s chemistry was sweet and I loved their og day together. And also the drawing reveal made me gasp out loud. So overall still a good read, esp fun to read while at the lake :) i kind of wish I grew up at a dirty dancing resort
