The Heart of Splendid Lake by Amy Clipston

5.0

The Heart of Splendid Lake by Amy Clipston takes place in gorgeous Splendid Lake, North Carolina. Brianna's life turns upside down when her beloved father passes right before it's time to open up their cabins at the lake resort. Their family has owned cabins at their lake resort for three generations. Scott, a real estate developer, is very interested in developing their Lake Splendid resort along with many others. . But, how do you give up on something that's been in your family so long?

I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I was very engaged with the characters and the author did a good job depicting how people walk through grief differently. Brianna and Scott had wonderful chemistry and I loved how they overcame their past, and both learned to be selfless in different ways. For me the story spoke to being honest with yourself, not letting the past dictate your future, and the importance of making hard choices. I loved the themes, characters, and the quaint setting. I recommend this sweet romance.

I was given a copy by the publisher through NetGalley. I was not obligated to write a positive review.
