The nostalgia I felt for time spent on the lake at the cottage while reading this was so real. The characters were imperfect but still so deserving of love and forgiveness. There was a minute around 40% of the way through the book where I wasn’t sure about it but that quickly went away and I was fully immersed the rest of the book! I ended up loving these characters. Some of the side characters did feel kind flat and I wish we had gotten more of them.
