THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
A Most Anticipated Book by Today ∙ Oprah Daily ∙ Katie Couric Media ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ SheReads ∙ Zibby Mag ∙ PopSugar ∙ BookRiot ∙ Culturess ∙ Her Campus ∙ The Everygirl ∙ and more!
A random connection sends two strangers on a daylong adventure where they make a promise one keeps and the other breaks, with life-changing effects, in this breathtaking new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After.
Fern Brookbanks has wasted far too much of her adult life thinking about Will Baxter. She spent just twenty-four hours in her early twenties with the aggravatingly attractive, idealistic artist, a chance encounter that spiraled into a daylong adventure in the city. The timing was wrong, but their connection was undeniable: they shared every secret, every dream, and made a pact to meet one year later. Fern showed up. Will didn’t.
At thirty-two, Fern’s life doesn’t look at all how she once imagined it would. Instead of living in the city, Fern’s back home, running her mother’s lakeside resort—something she vowed never to do. The place is in disarray, her ex-boyfriend’s the manager, and Fern doesn’t know where to begin.
She needs a plan—a lifeline. To her surprise, it comes in the form of Will, who arrives nine years too late, with a suitcase in tow and an offer to help on his lips. Will may be the only person who understands what Fern’s going through. But how could she possibly trust this expensive-suit wearing mirage who seems nothing like the young man she met all those years ago. Will is hiding something, and Fern’s not sure she wants to know what it is.
But ten years ago, Will Baxter rescued Fern. Can she do the same for him?

Nach EVERY SUMMER AFTER war für mich klar, dass ich mehr von Carley Fortune lesen möchte. Jedoch muss ich sagen, dass MEET ME AT THE LAKE leider nicht ganz an ihr Debüt herankommt. Positiv hervorzuheben ist auf jeden Fall weiterhin ihr Schreibstil. Ich habe mich direkt wieder wohlgefühlt zwischen den Seiten und bin sofort in der Geschichte angekommen. Das Setting in Kanada war auch einfach zum Wohlfühlen. Leider haben mich aber sowohl die Charaktere als auch die Handlung nicht restlos überzeugt. Fern als Protagonistin gefiel mir recht gut, während Will für mich nicht richtig greifbar war. Ich habe ihn teilweise nicht verstanden, vor allem nicht die Verbindung zwischen ihm und Fern. Die Handlung war leider auch nicht fesselnd. Es ist kaum etwas passiert. Für meinen Geschmack war es einfach zu ruhig, sodass ich nicht sonderlich gespannt war. Für Zwischendurch war es dennoch eine nette Geschichte. Ich möchte definitiv weiterhin mehr von der Autorin lesen.
