After spending a day together, Fern and Will plan to meet up at her family's lake resort 1 year later. Although I find this trope is overdone and far-fetched, the plot was well-written with great characters. Fern is surrounded by supportive, long-term friends after her mother's death. She's a strong woman torn between choices that will determine her life's direction while also giving Will a second chance. The author also addresses the struggles facing new mothers and post-partum anxiety. Emotional romance with real-life problems, great read.
