Meet Me At The Lake was unknowingly appropriate for pre-Mother's Day reading.
Fern Brookbanks returns to her family's Muskoka resort after the sudden death of her beloved mother, Maggie.
It also brings her back in contact with business advisor Will Baxter, who she met 10 years earlier when he was an aspiring artist.
Carley Fortune's latest is a love letter to summer, to Toronto and Muskoka, to Canadiana (Alanis and Jann, anyone?) and to youth. It's also about finding your way in romance, following your passions, and a new oneness as a motherless daughter.
She creates characters that are truly relatable and feel real, and this is a fantastic follow-up to her first novel, Every Summer After.
I highly recommend both!
