Fern Brookbanks returns to run her mom’s Muskoka lakeside resort after her mom’s unexpected death, something she never wanted to do. Scrambling to save the resort, Fern is surprised when Will Baxter shows up with a plan to help get the resort out of financial trouble. Will and Fern spent a magical day in Toronto ten years ago—and then Will disappeared and Fern hasn’t seen him since. Until now. Will may be the only person who can understand what Fern is going through and who knows how to save the resort, but can Fern trust him again after all this time?

Trying to make it through my physical TBR, and also count some books towards the @bookishswifties August challenge! I liked this book a lot better than Every Summer After, and based on reviews I’ve read it seems most readers like one or the other but not both! The characters were a lot more relatable in this book and they were very well developed, flaws and all. The summer vibes and lakeside resort were described so well and from the two books I’ve read from Fortune I can see that she’s a master of setting the perfect scene. There were a lot of heartwarming moments and the side characters were all great as well. This was a great summer read!
