I was expecting beachy vacations, along the lines of People We Meet on Vacation (which I LOVED). This story takes place in a lake house neighborhood where two neighbors re-meet in the oddest of circumstances. I was hooked from the first chapter, and the range of emotions the story takes you through leaves you exhausted in the best way.
Loved that this wasn't the typical grumpy-sunshine trope...this time around, the would-be grump has to bring the 'sunny' back out in the sunshine character. I have never read an Emily Henry book I didn't like; but this is one of my new favorites.
