Fortune does such an incredible job telling dual timelines - it’s never confusing or feeling like you’re missing out on things, but it also doesn’t feel like it’s too much. While I loved This Summer Will Be Different, I’d say this one was more of a “really liked it.”

I found myself ever so slightly not in love with the characters as much as I expected to be, but they were still incredibly real and dimensional and I love that the conflict felt real enough to explain a 12 year long gap in the relationships. Genuinely can’t wait to read Fortune’s other book, Meet Me at the Lake, and auto-buy anything else she publishes.
