Meet Me at the Lake by Carley Fortune
3.5
I’ve seen mixed reviews on this one, and I honestly liked it more than I expected. It was a quick, easy beach read with such a serene lake resort setting. And the cover is absolutely gorgeous!
I enjoyed the dual timeline that kept me reading to find out what happened in the past and what would happen in the present. I also really liked learning about her complicated relationship with her late mother through both timelines. I wanted more of the romantic connection between Fern and Will in both timelines though. I felt like the author explained that the two just naturally clicked, but I didn’t necessarily feel that through the story. I also thought the 3rd act breakup was immature and anticlimactic. But with all that said, it was a light read for me that was a nice change of pace from some heavier books I’ve read lately.
